    QFF Membership Numbers

    Mine is 6 digits. I was joined up in 1995 by my mother when I was 7 years old. Alas I've only accrued approximately 1,800 lifetime status credits (most being in the last 24 months).

    HSBC Platinum 60,000 $199 fee

    Interesting how this thread has transpired. Thanks for your effort Ralph. I have this card and I also enjoy giving it to the banks (especially when they're legally in the wrong). I'm sure I hit the required spend within a few weeks and now I'm going to comb through my statement. To clarify - in...

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate Just scored a classic reward upgrade #3 of 3. Seems like someone is smiling on me as two were BNE - LAX return as bronze and tomorrow is BNE - NRT as silver. Very much looking forward to the J product on the A330 as my previous two J flights were on the older 747.

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate Hi team, two questions. 1) I'm flying BNE --> NRT on 21/11/16 w/ QF. I'm silver flying in Y, hoping for J upgrade (classic reward upgrade submitted during booking months ago). I understand this is a "how long is a piece of string" type question, but can anyone...

    Duty Free Alcohol Rip off

    With the age of the internet providing fantastic choice and convenience I feel like duty free has become somewhat redundant. I did a survey recently while overseas (USA & KL) and duty free was only ~$20 cheaper. Given there was reduced options and I would have had to cart the purchases around...

    HSBC Platinum 60,000 $199 fee

    I have recently applied and received the card. I was impressed by how easy it was. I applied and within a few days was sent an email saying I was approved. My previous cards (with Qudos bank and Jetstar/macquarie) were drawn out experiences with the banks trying to contact my employer etc. I...

    Points capping per statement period - any other card options?!

    I'm wish qudos bank and certainly will be canceling my visa after the recent enhancement. There doesn't seem to be much reason to stay with them as they're not really offering much reason to. The card is quite expensive for little reward.

    QF J or VA "The Business" BNE > JFK

    I'm not sure if it's changed, or varies day to day, but QF uses the B747 when flying to LAX from BNE (or did both times I did it)

    Upgrade Seating help for a new member please!

    It's completely possible. In Oct-Nov last year I flew to the states and upgraded from PE to J on both legs while being bronze status. It was probably possible only because 1) I was flying at a non-peak time of year and 2) It was a Tuesday for both flights. I consider myself very lucky.

    Travel insurance - annual multi-trip

    I've never looked beyond travel insurance attached to my professional indemnity insurance. Currently it's supplied free and is unlimited, in the future it's $165 a year for unlimited travel. Can't beat that.

    To unpack or not unpack...

    While travelling (for fun) I'll generally use AirBnB for my accomodation. I find with that I get 1) Better value 2) More space and 3) More facilities. As a result there is usually far more room for placing things, so i'll often put my bag in a place where it's out of the way (and out of sight)...

    Annual fee [waived when 'threatening' to cancel?]

    I just messaged the bank (Qantas credit union, now QUDOS) through the internal messaging system. Requested a waiver of my annual fee with the line that I was looking to consolidate my banking with one bank and was wondering if they'd offer me a sweetner to come with them. I got a reply saying...

    Jetstar Platinum MasterCard 40k points $69 first year annual fee

    I'm hoping someone can give me some reassurance here... I received my jetstar platinum card in Jan '16, enrolled in the QFF bonus plan. In the 60 day spend period I spent ~$4500 on the card, clearly surpassing the spend requirement of $3k. I received my second statement today and it states...

    Guesting strangers into the lounge

    Mildly off topic. I've followed the "I'm in the xx_ lounge" and I'm wondering what the standard AFF host/guest relationship is when an AFF member guests in another member. Do some members expect them to be company for their visit, or just a small chat and then parting ways? I'm certainly open...
