    American Express Explorer Card - 100,000 points (apply by 11-Apr-2018)

    Throwing my referral link out there. This is my favourite card. 60,000 membership rewards points when you spend $1,500 within the first three months, two entries to the Amex Lounge at SYD international, and my favourite (and well used) feature - Smartphone Screen Insurance up to $500 twice a...

    Credit Card Offers Qantas Premier Platinum Offers & Discussion

    My HR manager knows that I churn CC's, and that they fund my many trips in J (and occasionally F), so I wasn't worried about her being contacted.

    Credit Card Offers Qantas Premier Platinum Offers & Discussion

    Yep. HR manager took the call, but told them she'd have to check with me first before disclosing my information. Once she had my permission, she called them back. Afterwards the HR manager informed me that they were super thorough. It's the first time that I recall a financial institution...

    Credit Card Offers Qantas Premier Platinum Offers & Discussion

    Applied for this card on Saturday. Received a call today asking for another payslip. They also wanted to speak with HR, to confirm my employment details. 10 minutes after the call, I received an email and text saying I was approved.

    F100's - WiFi

    To clarify, I think you mean Wireless In-Flight Entertainment (rather than Internet)? I've used the wireless entertainment on numerous 737 services, and don't like it. The resolution is cough and there's a small range of material (also a problem on the 330 and 777). Ensuring the devices have...

    Gift Cards at Supermarkets

    In what denomination? I'm yet to see them at mine. Will probably buy some on the Platinum Edge if I see some.

    AA critique

    For the past 7 years I've flown AA every time I've visited the US (once to twice a year). Always domestic F. The last trip (LGA-ORD 30 Dec 17 and ORD-SFO 3 Jan 18) were the last time I'll ever fly them. Next time I will try DL. Catering has progressively got worse, to the stage where I don't...

    QZ is at it again

    Honestly, why are they still allowed to operate in Australia/Australian airspace? What will it take?

    Scoot to fly to Berlin

    Always good to have more options into my favourite city. The only one stop option that I'm aware of from PER is QR.

    Qantas and Uber - Points partnership

    I've used this twice now, and had the points post within a few days to QFF. QF could analyse my trips to the airport, and match it against my QF activity. If there's no match - they could assume I've taken a trip with the competition (unless, I worked at the airport, was collecting someone etc...)

    New Amex statement credits

    Perth - City West. Called up on the release date a few weeks back, and they said they'd put my name down and put one aside when the next delivery arrived. Got the call today. As always, this store was happy to split over a number of cards, but I want the screen insurance the Explorer offers.

    New Amex statement credits

    Brought an iPhone X today at Harvey Norman. Despite Apple being excluded got the email within a few minutes saying that I would receive a $100 credit for spending over $400 (which has previously been the case with Harvey Norman offers and Apple). Purchased on my Amex Explorer for the screen...

    Virgin not honoring tickets - AKL-US in Biz Class

    I have zero sympathy for airlines making mistake fares. If we (PAX) make mistakes (dates/names etc), then it's too bad - we have to suck it up and suffer the consequences, often having to incur a loss. It's a different set of rules when airlines make a mistake, though. I'd be okay with them...

    Chasing the Qantas 787

    Yep, just saw it do a lap from my office window on SGT. More impressive flyover than the SQ350 disappointment a few months back . . .

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    2500 pts for $30 x 2 weeks. Even though it's a small amount, it's going to be difficult. I stocked up last week with the stacked offers that were made available to me.
