    Just a thought bubble and I may get a lot of 👎but like many others, I have spent decades researching points and hacks. I know that many others do too and I also know that many blogs like to spruik how it can be done. It’s hard and it takes time. There are the givens, such as any airlines award...

    So that ticks all the boxes, style, prestige, convenience, privilege, benefits, demonstrates you’re a massive knob and irrespective of all of that, some places still only take Vsa or MasterCard

    If you only had ONE Credit Card, What would it be?

    it totally depends on your spend, once Amex plat, hands down (points, perks, savings) but not any more. The fact that amex is not accepted universally leaves visa or mastercad. For the flyer, probably ANZ traveller or if you a Virgin everything (phone, insurance, Velocity ) Virgin Visa IMHO

    International Driving Permits/Licences

    I have a IDL issued 1979, when I hired a car in LA (in 1979) just left a cash deposit of $300 US and drove out on a new Ford Matador. No internet, no credit cards. Slept in the car that night and when a cop woke us up early next morning and asked us to open the boot, all he saw was a dozen...

    Benefits of virgin Platinum when travelling on Delta

    As you are international you may have a better experience? Upgrades are awarded to US premium members first and as PL you will be just up the bottom of a long list. If you are lucky enough to fly Delta internally you will experience the future of mass flight, be prepared. You should have no...

    50% bonus points with Virgin Australia

    plus free J partner fare (excl long haul) if you move over 500K amex, reasonable but IMO not worth parking 250K (+20%) in Velocity, unless you have a plan

    Credit Card "Concierge"... Why?

    You haven’t mentioned which card you have (or if this is a general enquiry) I’ve never used Citi (but based on the comments above, perhaps I will take a new look. They also have a free bottle of wine thing) I’ve used Visa a couple of times, but Amex (Platinum/Centurion) offers a wide range of...

    Where to stay - Hilton’s in Vegas

    As it happens, I was researching Vagas yesterday and the resort fees really skew the pricing depending on your search platform. Anyway, same question as OP. From my initial search, it doesn’t look like many of the Hilton’s have Club lounges ( which along with breakfast can be a great perk) so, I...

    Learn from this one

    CC insurance cover varies, depending on the type of card you have. Yes, every card has a different level of cover and a different policy wording. Eg Amex Ceturion card covers you for way more than a basic Amex card and bank issued cards are different again. At the end of the day you actually...
