    Joined about 21 June 2019 so hopefully won't be too long before some points hit my account... Does anyone know what the earliest age is that you can open a super account for your child?

    20k QFF Points for joining Australian Super

    Ok guys, always leaving it to the last minute, think I might open up an account and transfer over $400 or so from an old AMP account that has been doing nothing for like 20 years... I hear they have stopped exit fees so if i hold on to it for the 3 months or so i think is required to qualify...

Anyway about a week ago i opened up the next $100 card and went to pay and came up refused, looked it up on the Only1 website and looks like the $100 had...

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    I thought that's why people joined this site, to learn how to earn and burn points... While not knowing anything really about the points game before i found the this site in 2010/11 i think I have been pretty savvy points wise since, but then I have actually joined in the conversations and...

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    is there an easy way to check taxes on the Asia mile website?? I was looking at one or two redemption options and it showed the miles but said you had to contact Asia Miles to find the taxes and surcharges which seems time consuming and stupid??

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    What exactly is the point of accruing millions of points/miles over the years and never using them for anything??? There are always the chance with all these card and programs of devaluations?? Not even chance, its a dead set certainty.... Sounds odd and maybe a lesson worth learning...

    Christchurch (CHC) lounge shower

    I walked in there for a 7am or so flight from CHC to SYD last November and it wasn't too full and I was just able to walk in and shower... Not sure there was any sort of booking service?? I guess at that hour many people are coming from home/accommodation where they may already have had a...

    Amex D-Day Approaching (14/4/19)!

    Yep I closed my Explorer already and have my Platinum Edge still open for the year (annual fee in Feb) so will spend up on that as much as possible before the cuts and then transfer my 120k+ points to Asia Miles I guess... Although looking at that site i find it a pain in the cough that when you...

    Aviation museums

    When i hired a motorhome and drove across the USA a few years ago i was heading up out of the panhandle of Florida and thought I might stop in and check out Pensacola and see if there was anything interesting.. Found the National US Naval Aviation Museum there with a couple of buildings full of...

    Sign on bonus and zero % BT?

    Yes I have considered writing to the ACCC or finding out exactly which govt body regulates false advertising because advertising a 0% balance transfer and then some fine print stating a 1% or 2% "balance transfer fee" sounds like a straight out fraud to me seeing we know in the electronic age...

    I recently transferred over my Velocity points to KF and have about 200,000 and i still have 113,000 or so MR Ascent points and was thinking of sending them to Asia Miles for a bit of a choice in Alliance redemption options... Those don't sound like big points totals to most but then i was...

    Leave entitlements discussion

    I worked in the WA public sector for about 18 years and we got 13 week LSL every 7 years which wasn't too bad... Then we could purchase up to 10 weeks a year if it met the branch requirements... I took a redundancy last year so that meant i got paid out a certain amount of accrued LSL so i...

    Last QF 747 on SYD-HKG-SYD

    Well they obviously need replacing at some point, whether by other 747s or other models... The current ones are already old flying rattle traps with substandard hard product not worth refreshing because of fleet decisions and the age of the airframes... As to whether the they should be...

    Last year I got some David Jones electronic gift vouchers, I think it was buy something at Woolies (forget if it was another gift card or a product) and through redemption you'd get a $10 DJ electronic gift voucher.. I remember reading afterwards there was a site you could go to to input the...
