    An older beginner!

    You are definitely never too old. I have introduced my 89 year mother to collecting FF points and she is a lot more enthusiastic than Mr A who is half her age. We have applied for business reward upgrade Mel- Perth next month and just hope we get it (a bit hard as a NB). It will be a buzz for...

    Lurker turned member

    I have to admit I have to weigh up the cost v. benefit all the time due to limited means and no juicy employer benefits. Nevertheless I have learnt some good things and I have made myself a goal of earning enough FF points to take myself, Mr A and Miss A round the world in business class. It...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    I don't have a well behaved dragon in my wardrobe yet (but will be applying soon) and impacted my credit score by getting a coles MC only one month before the downward spiral of death with no payments to the man after 5 March. The only problem I see with the B2B is that you need an ABN to apply...

    AMEX Life Insurance - 20k pt Bonus

    The only one in the immediate family who fits the criteria is a gorgeous 30 year old but she's not cough sapiens but of the equine lineage. She's very healthy , no diseases and doesn't smoke or have bad habits :)

    AMEX Life Insurance - 20k pt Bonus

    Can I ask roughly how age is affecting the quotes? Just wondering because my application could be for an over 60 year old but may be she is better off doing what all good Hollywood actresses do and snip off at least 30 years.

    Another explore gold (Flybuys) offer

    To have the wrong airline bookings seems to be my fate. The Explore Gold offer came at an awkward time for me. I have already got JQ and Q flights booked for my holidays in July and now have to look at making some Virgin flights but before September 9, not when I wanted to do them which would...

    Qantas ff account hacked

    Sad to confess, our family got hacked through Awardwallet last July 2015 - the program that lets you put all your reward card details and frequent flyer points etc and lets you keep track of them. Unfortunately I was sick at the time and not picking up emails. We did receive an email from...
