    Duty free list in Singapore or Beijing

    Hi Mate, If I'm not too late, I am 99% sure that is only available (legitimately) where it is produced in Germany. 99% sure it has to be Düsseldorf ot immediate vicinity as well, because it probably has similar EU protections to champagne etc so if it is available outside it might have a...

    Article: Why is Dynamic Currency Conversion Even Legal?

    Bad consumer practices are bad, but 1. If you don't have a no FX fee card in AU, a 1.5% wouldn't be the worst thing in the universe 2. If it is truly only a 1.5% fee on top of the mid market rate (and not Ubers made up rate), this honestly comes close to a notary FX fee card because i have...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    You can link your AU account to your US account, I can't imagine why you couldn't do the same with an SG account. It isn't automatic, you need to go into your account settings somewhere and do it. I can never remember what it is called but calling Premier will get you someone to explain PS I...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    It was 282000 as Mr H said, but it is only another 20k to go SYD-SIN-FRA-JFK with a free stopover in FRA. I'm regretting not routing through FRA now but oh well maybe try next time. As for earning that many points, there are a few credit cards being advertised on this website that can be...

    Article: Why is Dynamic Currency Conversion Even Legal?

    Can you still just avoid DCC altogether with an Amex card? I know acceptance is lower but at least where it is accepted, it might make it impossible to get DCC scammed by dodgy merchants. In my recent trip to Japan, I was asked every time if I wanted AUD or JPY. Nobody tried to trick me and no...

    Aeroplan Award Chart Changes: Dynamic Pricing On More Partners

    When I looked last year for an EK redemption on aeroplan, I found literally 0 seats on J or F. Same routes same dates on QF had at least some seats available, with the expectedly high surcharges. As much as I hate devaluations, to an extent, there is no point in having 1 million points if there...

    The terms and conditions say there is a uber voucher fee equivalent to the voucher in the first place. Is this also not enforced?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I think the 150USD green card is the easiest choice. Paying an AF is part of the games and is the cost for entry. Green card gives 40k points + 3x back on a range of stuff so it is not horrendous. It sounds like you want to avoid AF which is fair, but if you get like a 100k gold offer, you will...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    If you don't mind my asking, if you expected Amex to claw back the credit, and expected Clear to claw back the uber credit (even though they evidently stuffed up the refund and gave you free money) what was the point of signing up?

    US global mail used to have a cheaper plan with no included scans. I think this may have been removed for new applicants.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Does it always take exactly 5 days for Amex points to show up next to the transaction? I have 4 day old transactions (accounting for US time zone) that still have the message You'll be able to see Rewards information for an eligible charge within 5 days of the charge posting to your account...
