    What makes more financial sense?

    How about you open a new card and do a 0% balance transfer to your BankWest card of say $10,000... That hopefully will put your BW card in credit to say $10,000 so when you spend on it it looks like it has money already on the card so doesn't generate any requirement to pay or interest owed...

    Is Qatar Airways Safe?

    When you listen to that episode of ACI, and not sure if that change has been made or not or whether i read it somewhere... But if you have a runway closed why they don't put a barrier up front and centre right at where you enter it, rather than a verbal warning and leave construction equipment...

    Machu Picchu & S America Planning + India?

    Few thoughts - Have you been to South America before? Spelling of places will be a bit rough here as well as can't be bothered looking up correct spelling of every location... Back in 2011 after Buenos Aries me and a friend when to La Paz and then we caught a bus to Puno and on to Cuzco...

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    Hmmm, my son is 11 and my sisters daughter is 5 or so... I guess there is no reason why she and I couldn't try something like this? she has her own small business which i'm sure needs a bit of tidying up around the place... Wouldn't be as big a nest egg as if started at birth, but might add...

    Quick & Easy P1 Requalification

    On frequent flyer forums and FB pages i sometime think there is a level of irrationality over the shiny card/self identification/self worth thing and having to tell everyone else about, but as has been stated its his (their) money to do with as they want.. The whole status running to me...

    Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate Oh definitely it will happen if you haven't flown J before... Once you learn he game it becomes quite easy and regular... J on QF can be a bit harder on those Trans-Pac routes for award redemptions, but there are better J products out there anyway... Just as a...

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate Was it almost as cheap to just buy the points (or get them for free through bonuses) and just redeem them for two J awards straight out??? Although the Trans-pac routes are hard to redeem award seats unless like 10 months ahead as they go fast, and as a Bronze i'd...

    What I ate today - the food thread

    What I ate today - the food thread

    A good pizza and Coke Zero goes down a treat (too merge a couple of current ideas on the thread :) ) although fish and chips is my favourite... And i am a slightly unreformed cola addict...
