The dealership accepted the amex. I had to pay it down on the friday and hit it again on the monday, but the points posted and I have the car.

Much obliged to you

I was fortunate. My membership year expired 31 Oct, points posted on 1 Nov. I bought a car on my grandfathered Amex last month too, so hit points club within 12hrs of the year starting!

I want to book a reward itinerary for my brother. Is he going to need a QFF account? Cheers.

Yes, onboard tanks. Huge rear tank in the space where the spare goes. I did have a jerry too but didn't need it. You're half right... Getting a 300, but don't think I can let the 80 go :)

Thanks. Really the point about the question was not to buy a different car, but to understand the best way to harvest points from a large transaction. I found out that the bankwest FF account does indeed yield points on transactions. exactly 3. No, not per dollar. @JohnM - did you find a visa...

I'm planning to buy a car for ~120. I've got an amex discovery with a high limit that pays 0.75qf points uncapped, but the dealerships are playing hard to get on waiving their card fees for amex, though they will for visa/master. My ANZ black only pays up to 7.5k per statement period, then...

Thanks

Thanks all. I forgot about this post. I'll go with the amex points for a bit and see how we go. And yes, I do still get points from ATO spend on a blue amex that I've held for the better part of twenty years - don't know if that's a grandfathered arrangement.

I've got few months until my QF anniversary and I don't want points to post before that point. If you've had some recently, how long did it take? I have of course read the ts&cs, which say min spend in sixty days, points posted 'within three months' of meeting that. Cheers.

I regularly bring a litre or even 1.5 through the scanner in my back pocket. Just be sure to empty your pockets of metals and there's no pat down

I recently went to London from Perth for my brother's birthday to surprise him. EK DXB-STN landed Friday evening, back on board Sunday lunchtime. The girls in the F cabin said that was a first for them. EK's F is just so good I keep going back.

Hello all. I've long been a fan of the QFF programme. I don't fly QF internationally but burn their points on F redemptions on EK typically. I have bulk QF miles now but haven't earned a single SC in 3 yrs so have fallen to gold. Not sure if this really makes any difference when booking...

Still in flight. Yeah, they're pretty cool. What I liked more was that they have actual blinds in them :)

Well, I arrived late, after a couple of circles outside of DXB, with forty minutes to make the connection, and EK once again demonstrated why they're the best in the business. The flight from KUL to DXB in the 'old' 777 fitout was fantastic, the old suite meticulously maintained and very...

Well therein lies the problem, as I'm en route to Cambs. Anyway, I think I'm right in saying there's no need to have to scan bags etc to connect within t3, anyone know for sure? Sadly I suspect a bloody mary is out.

I'm hoping to connect from ek345 to ek67 next week, with a scheduled 70 minute window. I see that ek345 has arrived 20mins late a couple of times in the last few weeks, at worst. So 50mins I guess, and being realistic, probably half that considering the time to open and close the doors. I'm...

I like to scoot in Bali. I saw they passed laws about not renting out scooters, but I'm sure the enterprising locals have ways around it. What's the latest from the street please?

Seemingly at random it will show flights ex STN where a flight is available from LGW or LHR, but not LCY
