    Fly Buys

    I've had a couple of flights from it. Mostly found it useful around Christmas time to either use points to pay off some of the credit card, or to get vouchers for use at Coles/Myer. With them having their own vouchers now (have you tried to use a Westfield voucher at any of the major outlets...

    What's A Better Way to Price International Long-Haul Flights

    b). United already do that. Not sure if it's $100, since my gold card gets me Economy Plus for free, but if you pay a higher fare you can get the extra leg room. c). Have some food in the lounge before you board, and some of that other stuff to wash the food down. Who cares...

    Airpoints Annual Fee

    Heck, I'm an Aussie and don't find measly QFF points worth getting. I used to do Air Points (yep, I'm not proud), but then Air NZ changed it to status credits - copying QANTAS, and not in a good way. That was bad enough but then they went to these stupid Air Points $$. Discovered UA...
