Hi Kohdeb, Where did you hear this? I also have these cards and have received no notification from Westpac. Cheers, Mitch

In March 2014 on my way to India, had a stopover in Singapore and found Eric Clapton was in town for one night only. Being a muso myself and Clapton being my guitar hero, I was over the moon. Was an awesome night and scored a great seat! May be the last time I get to see him as he is touring...

Hi Cove, I also have this card and will not give it up as 1.25 KF miles per $ is the best you will get at ATO. Regarding Westpac Black Altitude Amex, is the earn rate after conversion 1.5 KF miles for all purchases and 0.75 for ATO??? Cheers, Mitch

One ways are usually expensive but I found getting a bit creative can turn up some unexpected cheap fares. Last March, my daughter joined me on a trip to India on her way to London for a 2 year stint. I spoiled her with J on SQ one way SYD to VTZ on points. From India, she needed to get to...

I think the Amex card you refer to will only pay 0.5 points per $ when used with ATO. 1 for 1 elsewhere.

I see the new top limit $20,000,000!!!

A 3 million dollar tax bill....... I am speechless

Hi Cove, Would you agree that the Westpac Kris Flyer Amex is the best bang for your buck when paying ATO bills? I am still currently getting 1.25 miles per $. I don't know of any better or even equal card for ATO. Unfortunately it is no longer available to new applicants. Also, what does the WOW...

Hi Dave, Are you saying that the airline transfer rates are definitely moving to 1:0.5 for KF? if so, what date? The last I heard was they reversed this decision back in November. I have Prestige and this brings the real rate back to 1:1 i will be moving all my points to KF now if this is the...

Interesting Cove. So how does an Australian citizen apply for a US cc?

Just wondering if someone who has done the research could post a summary (or point me to one somewhere) of what cards still give points for ATO spend. I realise it would now be a very short summary but still good to know. I will kick it off with what I know (which isn't much) *Westpac Kris...

Thanks Mel, I am not sure if I can wait until the last to book so I may just go the long route via SIN with SQ as I have done in the past. Cheers, Mitch

I am looking for advice on the Asia Miles program. I have just joined and have points parked on a credit card to transfer when needed. I usually fly exclusively with SQ thru the KF program. I am very used to this program but finding everything very new at Asia Miles. I need to book the following...

In hindsight, I should have reported it when I returned to the hotel. We have a good rapport with the Assistant Manager at the Sheraton Great Wall where we usually stay. I think we felt a bit rattled and wanted to put the incident behind us. To be honest, it has put me off Beijing but will...

No, didn't report it after reading the forum where other victims had reported wasting up to 6 hours at the police station with no result. The police know this happens but seem to turn a blind eye unfortunately.

Had a really interesting experience in Beijing back in March which has really left a bad taste in my mouth for this capital city. A friend and myself had just finished a tour of the Forbidden City and emerged to find that Taxis don't pick up from the exit. We found out later there are buses to...

I know this question has been done to death over the years but the rules have changed also with many CC companies. I am looking for a credit card which will allow FF points to be credited for ATO Tax/BAS bill spend. I know the Westpac Kris Flyer Card still credits 1.5 points per dollar on the...

Just an update.... decided to call Citibank and complain about no notification re no more ATO reward ponts. They gave me the "govt charges story" and I asked to speak to a manager. They put me thru to Robert who was sympathetic to my plight. He said he would take it further and get back to me in...

Thanks Cove. You are quite right. I just pulled out the paper statements and went back to March and sure enough no credits for ATO points at least back until then! How annoying. If they had told us I would have used Westpac Kris Flyer Amex card which I will do for the future! It would...

I have just seen this thread after just paying a decent Tax bill on my Citi Select Card :mad:. Can anyone advise how you can tell if they credit the points or not. On the Amex website you can view individual transactions and see how many points have been credited to each one. I can't find this...
