    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Re: Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" bonus given thread. Anyone had any luck with the free velocity card? I know chances would be slim... Also the fact I have hardly used it for the last year except for the offers

    Airfare prices at travel expo worth the wait?

    All flight centers can offer you the expo prices in store the same day or a few days leading up. I booked the same time for travel last year. all the early bird prices and first expo for these are in August/September, which you have missed. The only difference and good expo is you can book all...

    Which Black did you get the freq flyer (qantas) or the standard rewards? (im assuming the freq flyer one?) There is only a few direct earn velocity, and when you can get non-direct earn with the points, this give you other options, for airlines etc if need be. Also allows you to wait until...

    Melb QP/Business Lounge Access, mixed class booking

    Virgin generally allow on arrive access, atleast with status anyway, so that is probably why. But I would anyway try, if they say no you have not lost anything

    Seeking Info on the following potential European destinations in one trip please

    Probably don't need 3 nights in Florence... unless you want to spend a lot of time at the museums. 5 nights in Prague/Vienna may be a bit much, but I really liked both. One place i might also suggest is Budapest, if time allows, it was a really cool city. Also I have heard there isn't much to...

    Standards for some? Makes you seem like a complete cough now, you were trying to do exactly the same thing. then get on your ethical high horse that its "against my business principles.". please don't let the door hit you on the way out... also 46546 seems to work quite well ;) most of the...

    Seeking Info on the following potential European destinations in one trip please

    Europe summer will be the best time. June-August/September I would look at the train option, atleast for places close, Dubrovnik-prague-berlin etc rome to greek islands look at train and then ferry, but I think flying would be easier for this leg. Depending where to fly in and out of depends...

    Best EU Port to connect back through UK to avoid UK APD

    Does this flight have to be J? I would say there choices are massive... for cost you would probably be best as a multi-city, but might not be possible, award booking? Amsterdam and paris are the obvious. I would look at munich/berlin, Barcelona

    Online airline tickets

    They do it to get people in the door. they have a semi-decent buying power, but have to compete with flight center and also student flights (owned by flight center) who have market share. So i think they offer these specials with much reduced commissions to the company/the actual agent sitting...

    2 airline points per $1 doesnt really exist. ANZ black as previously mentioned are well as alot of other CBA, Amex direct, Citi etc generally all cap out at around 1.5 points per $1 on amex. and 1 for 1 on visa/mastercard. Virgin generally has two 15% transfer bonuses throughout the year. (one...

    Interesting Video...

    It would be over 125 business class tickets to LAX and back. But maybe a safe assumption he would of been flying first on a partner airline. Perhaps he got gift cards or brought from the store aswell? Ie CEO getting xmas presents.... Cause how else whould you really spend that many points in...

    Lounge Access on arrival - changes?

    I think this is part of the system now checking you are flying. Previously it would just check your membership and people were getting in when not flying at all or flying with another airline.

    Would you rather fly than drive?

    Replace sister with brother and this was my exp.... Dad would do all the driving, we wouldn't stop except for petrol which is the only time you did toilet breaks, unless about to have an accident (no joke), and then he would stand there and swear at every car driving passed while we were pulled...

    Virgin Lounge Access [Both before and after flights]

    You can show either card, both will give you access. As per the number in the virgin lounge it defaults to the lounge rules, which i am not sure of as the website just mentions this "Simply show your boarding pass and your Airpoints membership card at the entrance. You will be able to invite...

    Anyone lost their 747? Maybe you left it parked in KUL.....

    Just saw this.. How odd, another source said they have tried to contact the last previous known owners with no luck so far.... surely getting them out of there and selling them would be worth more than any associated fees etc...
