If I already have this card is there any way to take advantage of this offer? I guess I would need to close my account and then apply again? Which is a lot of work. Has anyone had experience with calling to cancel the card and mentioning the sign up bonus and getting the points without...

Never use PayPal. They are always worse. PayPal is around 5% whereas Amex is around 2-3%.

A couple of months ago myus advertised a 20% reduction in their shipping rates. What they failed to mention was they also changed the dimensional weight from a factor from 300 to 139. So before I rarely had things get extra dimensional weight charges, but now most of my shipments do. However...

You wouldn't need to worry about presenting the credit card unless a clear warning was given when you did the booking. So if you hadn't been drinking when you made the booking, and you saw no warning, then you wouldn't need to present the card. Whilst some airlines want the card to be sighted...

As a bronze, I also very rarely wait more than a couple of minutes. Your calls are within 12 hours of each other so likely just an extra busy period or problem with their queue system or something. As a bronze, you (& also me) are not very important to Qantas in the scheme of things. So...

But you forget the big picture. What happens is other airlines (eg. Singapore airlines, Thai airlines, Malaysia airlines, China airlines etc etc.) don't have to pay any carbon tax so they become more competitive and can offer lower prices than Australian airlines so Australians will chose...

Re: Qantas sticking to charging passengers for carbon tax Do you really think what Australia does can have any significant impact on the environment? China population: 1.3 billion Australia population: 22 million For any carbon tax policy to work, it would need to be done as a worldwide...

Re: Qantas sticking to charging passengers for carbon tax Of course they can't be as bad as the current mob. The current mob is so bad its funny. Australia's version of the carbon tax is plain stupid. Theoretically a carbon tax could be OK, but only if it was done as a worldwide measure...

Generally the counterfeit products are somewhat hidden. If you show interest to a tout they will take you to the stores who have hidden back sections or stores who pull things out from under the counter etc. The biggest range of premium counterfeit goods will actually be sold in other...

Re: Qantas denies pocketing $100 million from card surcharges Many banks charge extra not just for Signature/World/Corporate/International but also for Platinum. These days nearly half the population seem to be using a Platinum card. And I am sure for frequent flyers, most would be using...

Yes, I would definitely not recommend having this as your main transaction account. It is way too risky. Remember that they issue a Visa debit card which increases the chance of fraud compared to a standard debit card. In the unlikely event you get hit with fraud, your actual cash is gone...

They are very trigger happy at putting a block on your credit card and wanting you to call back to confirm transactions for them to unblock it. Apart from this overall they are OK. I also have a Signature credit card with them and I have learnt to treat it as a No Frills basic card. I guess...

Buying a train ticket in China at the proper ticket office is a hard thing to do if you speak no Chinese. You are better to use a provider to buy the tickets for you. Depending on who you use, you may only pay a dollar or two more. It is likely your hotel concierge can help you. Normally would...

Re: [fare gone] Yangon to New York, London etc. R/T in C < $800 Which site is this still available at?

I think that it was acknowledged some time ago that this board got hacked and the hacker(s) got a copy of the user registration info including email addresses. A lot of different free php based scripts including the forum software vBulletin that this forum uses had vulnerabilities in the past...

Re: [fare gone] Yangon to New York, London etc. R/T in C < $800 Just to let everyone know that my credit card was charged shortly after I purchased the airfares. I charged it to an Amex card and I have three confirmed transactions on the Amex card (I bought 3 tickets). I guess there may be a...

Considering the two transactions were made within 2 minutes of each other, I am not sure this is the case. Although maybe the back end processes of one of the banks update the exchange rate slower than the other bank.

As Citi provides a Visa debit card, it should use the Visa interchange rate.

This is wrong. You can use any overseas ATM with the Citibank account. I have done this and confirmed. Check the product page of their "No Fee" account for more information.

If you buy a Mars bar and eat half of it and then take it back to the store, do you really think they will give you a 50% refund? If you buy a 12 month gym membership (which is at a discount compared to monthly membership) and half way through you want to cancel, do you expect them to give you...
