    Account locked online - any ideas?

    My turn today, pretty sure it's down to Marketplace as OH got the same a few months back. She actually did get a call back, from the Marketplace team though just to confirm it was her that was making the purchase. Annoying as I now have to wait until Friday at least, but never mind. Tried to...

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Are there any more of these promo codes around? I used DAD15 a few months back, but it was too early to do it for my account, I had no idea it even existed until seeing it on here either!

    Credit Card Offers CommBank Ultimate Awards Card: 100K award points – potentially fee free

    No worries, post #406 above I pasted the text of the T&Cs for both. But can confirm they posted today with the 15%, so def still working, but CommBank must be preparing for it to end.

    Credit Card Offers CommBank Ultimate Awards Card: 100K award points – potentially fee free

    Interestingly this offer has vanished from CBA’s website. The T&Cs didn’t mention anything about finishing early and it’s still on the KrisFlyer website. I’ve just sent the rest of my CBA points over, so will see. I have screenshots of both websites’ T&Cs if anyone needs them, but would...

    Credit Card Offers CommBank Ultimate Awards Card: 100K award points – potentially fee free

    No worries! And DP for anyone else transferring, I sent some over and they arrived today, bonus at the same time on a different line "Accruals CBA Bonus Points Transfer".

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Would like to know - have read similar for other countries (a UK Amex I have had an offer for UK Hiltons, which was convenient as I needed to stay in some at exactly the right time). Not sure about others though - I have used the resort credit in Fiji and Sri Lanka (I think that's it?), but on...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Agree, I accessed it using Touch VPN set to NYC, site works, but delivery only to US as you say. Didn't try as I use the credit anyway, but a way to guarantee use of the resort credit would be good.

    Credit Card Offers CommBank Ultimate Awards Card: 100K award points – potentially fee free

    I can't find any specific mention of it, either on the CBA or SQ website. Did you get an email or anything? I probably wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for this thread. Only thing I can think of is the max points I earn in CBA per month is ~30k, based on $10k forex spend. Hopefully I'm not...

    Credit Card Offers CommBank Ultimate Awards Card: 100K award points – potentially fee free

    Thanks, I hadn’t read the TCs, I’ll double check before I pull the trigger!

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Despite Amex’s free credit monitoring not working, the app used to show FICO. After this went, Awardwallet would still pull the FICO from Amex for a while, but it seems to be dead now. It does take 8-9 months to get one, but that was sans SSN/ITIN. 1733749668 That’s interesting, I was point...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Yeah it’s pretty easy, I haven’t had to call them thankfully - once I got wifi calling my US number roamed and I got the SMS, also an email with a link to click to Y/N the transaction, which I’ll bear in mind in future. 1733749423 Yep, DHL, very quick too.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    British Heritage doesn’t give me any cold immunity, I’ve just been in NI for a wedding and I thought I was going to shatter all my teeth shivering, despite a thousand layers and a jacket over the top. Meanwhile there’s people wearing next to nothing on the usual UK Saturday night piss up...

    General Medical issues thread

    You’d think, but my psych and GP don’t seem to talk to each other. The latter has to get me to advise re any medication changes, and pretty much anything else (which surprises me because I’d assume, in fact I’m near certain, they’d be visible in SafeScript - S8 stimulants - which my GP would...

    To Europe via Manila

    Great trip so far, one comment re Grab, they do indeed take card and it’s much more convenient than cash imo. I’ve never been asked for cash by drivers. However, and this is Philippines specific, rides are absurdly cheap, to the point where given the cost of petrol there (about the same as AU)...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Mailing address would do it, but be warned HSBC are pretty trigger happy when it comes to fraud alerts - I couldn't withdraw cash from a HSBC ATM in Bermuda the other day because it blocked me, yet a $7 ATM withdrawal in Sri Lanka was fine. The good thing is that as soon as you verify, it...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I don't have the HK credit card, only the account so far (along with a UnionPay ATM card and Mastercard Debit card, no idea why both). No HK address needed, but they did ask countless questions and I had to prove I really was in HK as much as I said I was (which was easy enough as I have all...

    Credit Card Offers CommBank Ultimate Awards Card: 100K award points – potentially fee free

    This is the one I've been waiting for - 15% bonus to VA then on to SQ is better value than direct to SQ, but this is miles (no pun intended) better.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Agree with this - I didn't ever use Textnow, but ported from T-Mob to Tello, was done in minutes. 1733277984 Pretty well, but if the MCC is out, then it's out - I have a hotel I stay at in HK which codes as a restaurant - when I realised, I now use Gold instead of Green to pay the bill.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    You don't need to meet the criteria if you meet Premier somewhere else, I have HSBC AU/US/UK/HK & Expat (Jersey) on the back of Australia, and credit cards with 3/5 of those.

    Strategy to obtain UK Amex

    Excellent, sounds like someone made a bank error in your favour, collect a heap of Avios and a 241. I'd leave it, unless it doesn't turn up - worst case, add it to Apple Pay before it expires then it should update automatically on your phone when a new card is issued to replace the expired one.
