    Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan

    No luck at all. Only can book what shows on BA. AS search is easier, so I cross check with that before bothering to go through the process.

    Help! Can’t get to sleep J & F

    I sleep easily in Y, J and F. Are you someone who falls asleep easily sitting up late at night? Are you easily woken? Do you worry about what each noise you hear on the airplane is? My general routine starts the day before my flight, depending on what work needs to be done. If I have a flight...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    I was thinking, the way cashrewards offers the 5% discount is through affiliate marketing, woolworths pays them for their traffic. What if an AFFer was to set up a website for the sole purpose of funnelling AFF traffic through a single portal, because I know that Woolies affiliate commission is...

    No one is, now we need to find an efficient way to liquidate the cards or amalgamate them.

    Alan Joyce confirms 9 across Y for QF 787

    I've done Qatar B787 and Emirates B777 both in economy overnight and slept soundly with no aid except some soothing music. Absolutely nothing wrong with either of these cabin setups. Sometimes I wonder if people complain for the sake of it

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    I don't believe so, as it's a "Citi" card, however I could be wrong, I don't have personal experience with the Diner's club card.

    Short connection in Doha

    In economy, we had a 55min connection flying in from TXL and onto MEL. We had to walk from one pier to another, and the whole process took ~35mins. We got to the gate when they had just started to board Economy for the MEL flight. Plenty of time, especially in J. Hamad Airport is not that big...

    BYOJet ripoff

    Chargeback and move on unfortunately. A lot of these 3rd parties OTA's are terrible, which is why I either book direct, or at a TA in person

    QF 7 meals in economy?

    My QF7 experience was quite unusual. We left at 10pm and landed at 10pm so they gave us two dinners thankfully. Also two hotel rooms for free + $150 worth of food vouchers, but a story for another time, but I believe it's a lunch/hot dinner style meal, plenty of snacks, like fruit, ice cream...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Yes, I can't think of any Cards off the top of my head on Visa/MC that earn 1:1 or even 0.75:1 for Virgin (and in turn Kris flyer :mrgreen:, the best thing that's happened to the points game for Australians in a long time). A few of the lower end Amex cards pay 1:1, but with the 1.45% surcharge...

    250,000 Velocity points for new NAB home loan customers

    Wow. $600 is and isn't chump change for these larger corporations. Sure it sucks that the points haven't posted yet, but still for them to "cover" the flights for you, and you can keep the 250k points is a pretty good compromise I would think

    JQ business class from int terminal using QF classic award from : QF lounge access?

    Re: JQ business class from int terminal using QF classic award from : QF lounge acces I believe it gives you the entitlements of the cheaper JQ Business Clare fare, ie it's not the max bundle. I'm pretty sure access is only granted to the QF lounges on a QF award on JQ with QF status, but I...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    I can think of a couple, but they mostly earn to QF only which imho makes them not as valuable as cards which can also be used with VA, SQ and CX. Health, Schools and Roads are state not federal government, so effectively they are only paid through the GST, not income and company tax

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Yup that's what I thought, but needed clarification :p. From what I can tell Macquarie Bank and the Bankwest "Black" card are the best value for ato, but they only earn on Qantas which is harder to redeem outright for compared to Velocity (Etihad / Transfer --> SQ) or Kris Flyer.

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Hey Guys. Does the Westpac Altitude Black pay at 1.5 Altitude per $ on Amex or 3 points per $ for tax payments? Have read mixed reports, and would prefer some clarification before applying. 0.75 KFF points per $ is not as attractive at 1.45c per $ surcharge

    Wow is the Woolworths Credit Card. Can't help you on useful cards, as I'm not that up to date on what cards work.
