My Velocity app (Android version for Samsung) suddenly keeps crashing when trying to open and use...tried uninstalling and reinstalling but problem persists....anyone else with similar problem? Did update my phone the other day so wonder whether this caused the problem :(

I never got asked for address verification even though I had done my homework....opened a US HSBC Premier Acct....then changed my mailing address to the US one, then waited a month to get a bank statement with the US address.....then never got asked for address verification! Then I got a letter...

I did Syd-Sin-Ist-Cai in Sq J (last leg was Egypt Air) using KrisFlyer pts 2 years ago.

I agree but sometimes there is no choice....eg only 1 flight a day and no later flight or points ticket with no later option. I have sucessfully done 45 mins at Vie, 50 mins at Sin and 45 mins (late inbound) at Cph....all small airports but then you worry if your checked bag will make it! At...

I bought a lot but unfortunately i still have so much tax to pay

I no longer use hotel wake up calls. Use my phone alarm and +1s as backup. Best one a few years ago was at IC OR Tambo airport where after a phone call for an early wakeup call, a few minutes later, someone came and banged on the door to make sure we really had woken up!

FWIW, these are the credit cards I currently have: Bankwest World MC; Fx free, my go to card for non A$ purchases and I earn Qf points Citibank Signature Visa...fee free for life; get 2 free PP lounge passes per year, but don't really use now. Until Citi Pay All ended, was using it to MS KF...

We flew out of Dar in Nov 2023...it is now a big, spacious modern airport!

Fantastic information....exactly the information I wanted to know. Thanks for posting!

Not retired....yet! Preparing for retirement ;)

Got irritated with and cancelled 28 degrees MC as they wouldn't waive the monthly fee which they have for many. My main Fx fee free Credit card is BW World MC with a limit of 28K but I'm concerned they will block it when I'm OS if any fraudulent activity is suspected. I could then use Fx fee...

Trying to avoid getting a Chilean visa!

@Atleastonce Did you have any issues with your QF to KL transit at Scl? Im on one ticket like you with 1 hr 55 min transit at Scl and am wondering what would happen if Qf 27 was late and I missed the KL connection to Eze. Did they check bags all rhe way through? How long does it take to...

Thanks for the suggestion

I managed to book to 2 classic award J seats in Feb next year Syd to Eze on one ticket with Qf points: QF 27 Sydney 12:20PM Santiago 10:45AM KL 702 Santiago 12:40PM Buenos Aires 2:35PM (Assume 1hr 55 min transit at Scl T2 to T2 is OK; MCT is apparently 65 mins) My Q is related to booking the...

Reading this thread, reinforces the importance of getting all the credit cards (and limits) I want before I retire....problem is cards which are good now, may not be later; and cards with better features come onto the market! I find the easiest way now to apply for a credit card is to just...

To see your US HSBC Premier acct in your Australian HSBC Premier acct, you need to first set up online US HSBC banking. Then go into your Australian HSBC acct, and under the My Account tab, select Add or Remove a country under Global View and follow the prompted steps. :)

I always thought you could only do Global Transfer once but I seem to recollect some here have done it more than once....how long should you wait to do the 2nd one if it is possible?
