    Unless you really like flying Qantas, perhaps it is worth considering using those 447k MR points for another airline?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Will I need to call? Don't have app for live chat 1737413174 I understand that Square will get suspicious if the same card number and only that card number is scanned over and over again your US bank will think it is suspicious to put 5k on some random merchant opened 3 days ago

    10 days spends great for USPS first class. I have had great experiences with DHL as well but don't really feel like paying 120USD when USPS will do

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Card arrived at US address. Don't want to ruffle feathers and ask amex to redirect to aus. Wondering which shipping option is best. Anyone have experience with USPS first class international mail, FedEx connect plus or FedEx priority?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    That seems like a lot of work to be honest, 25k USD held up for 60 days. I think there was a 50k points offer for a business checking account, the sofi offer, etc.

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Surprisingly painless experience adding a JL and a MH flight to my booking. Phone call done in 30 minutes with knowledgeable agent (who was probably WFH given the party noise in the background). His taxes calculation was higher than what the website was showing, but honestly I can't complain too...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Hilton Auckland exists, but I think the flyertalk people were expecting to see Hilton Auckland NZ or something because Auckland isn't in Australia. I was hoping that I could use the advance purchase rate (because cheaper is always better!) - reports of a lot of getting the aspire credit on...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Over on flyertalk, there has been a bit of talk about Hilton Queenstown Resorts coding as "Hilton Auckland AU" (which doesn't exist) and thus not triggering the Hilton Aspire credit. These are mostly US-based booking non-advanced purchase rates Anyone have any experience booking an advanced...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Mate its like you are working at Amex. The link works after you told me to check again. I do need the card number to continue - I wonder if this means I will have 2 accounts now? One dummy blank account and the "actual" one. Whatever, let's just wait. How long for the tracking number usually?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Right so I'm probably more surprised than anyone - Hilton Aspire card approved. Maybe the Nova Credit box I ticked worked in the background. They also never asked for address verification, so no HSBC statement required. New fear unlocked - Amex sends card to the address on my ITIN letter...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just found out that Chase has a FHR-like portal called "the edit" (does edit mean something in american english that makes the name make sense?) Where you can get Hotel loyalty points+status on bookings, plus 10x chase points back on bookings. Anyone with a CSR can have a look and pm me/post a...
