    Bankwest Qantas Transaction account [being withdrawn in 2025]

    I'm not sure that I came through from BW's side at all, but I haven't received a statement so I don't know. Maybe I'm missing something.

    My trip to Europe (and bits of the Middle East)

    Just a quick update as I'm rather busy at work, my family's visiting and I'm preparing for another trip. My recent trip to Europe (with a short stop-over in the Middle East) went well – and in a blink of an eye. Dubai was surprisingly interesting. Even though it's not a place I'd visit just...

    When I rang them up, they said it can't be done manually. :-| I might try again and hope I get someone who'll be happy to do so.

    Was it a manual credit in the end, blackcat20?

    Nothing here either. And they told me it'll take a couple of months.

    Oh man, I just paid another Telstra bill in one go instead of setting up a macro. <tired> Still no 10,000 points, by the way.

    Passport stamps, love them or loath them?

    I've actually had experiences where I was frowned upon when asking for a stamp, and then asked to move aside to be questioned as to why I'd requested a stamp. There's a bit of a thing with Croatia and the EU, as Croats were allowed to enter neighbouring countries (even before Croatia became a...

    Passport stamps, love them or loath them?

    Europe has gotten really boring with stamps (I'd get a Slovenian one or nothing at all), so I'm happy to get a stamp when I can. I'll be going to Aitutaki (the Cook Islands) at the end of the year. There's a tiny foot-shaped island called Tapuaetai (One Foot Is) where you can get a stamp in the...

    QF A380 Y Mini-cabin top deck, rear --- Pics only

    I was seated in 33K on two recent flights (Jul and Aug). I was lucky on the DXB-LHR as no one was seated next to me so I managed to spread along the two seats, resting my back and head on the storage compartment. The storage helps in itself as it's quite large so you can chuck all your stuff in...

    Bankwest Qantas Transaction account [being withdrawn in 2025]

    I was hoping that getting a card would trigger a credit rating (as I don't have a loan or mortgage or anything similar). And they let me know that they didn't find my credit rating, but that it doesn't affect my application. Maybe now, after having paid a couple of bills, there is something...

    Bankwest Qantas Transaction account [being withdrawn in 2025]

    Does anyone have an idea how long it takes to actually get a credit rating? I couldn't get a QFF BW card (I've only recently applied for Permanent Residency) as I didn't have a credit rating, but I've taken out a 28 Degrees card in July for international travel. I'd rather go with BW if that's...

    Just make sure you deposit the necessary amount and you should be fine.

    I created mine on 23 June, so it's July, August and September for the points, which will hopefully arrive in a month's time.

    I've put all my savings into the account, but no points shown since June. I'll have to look into it once I'm back in Oz. Thanks for the tips and cheers from Croatia!

    Qantas Cash Card

    I'm dreading every phone call I need to make regarding the Qantas Cash card. "Please select from the following nine options." :shock: P.S. And there have been plenty calls in the past week.
