    Amex Platinum vs CBA Platinum Acceptance Criteria

    Im honestly surprised, I got sent out the platinum cards about 2 months ago with an upgrade offer, I didn't even apply. These seems to be more of a case of computer error than anything else. Did u enter u have a credit limit of 55,000? on existing cards? that's probably what did it, as the way...

    Previous Card holder - Anyway of still getting sign up bonuses?

    I haven't heard of anyone not getting the points either with existing cards or recently canceled. So should be fine. If they don't post plead ignorant and 'cancel' if they don't give them to you? should get fee refunded if its within a month or so but nothing is guaranteed in life

If J or above then both would be good, I haven't flown silk Air but from what I have read they are just...

    Take advantage of the 15% transfer bonus or wait for an SC offer?

    SC offers are a lot fewer and further between. the 15% bonuses often comes up twice a year, so if you don't need the points to book anything till at least november, just wait and see

    New rules for your 'extra' hand luggage item

    This is pretty standard airline policies. Your main carry on plus one 'personal' bag. Most people traveling already do this with the carry on plus laptop or handbag. some both. I honestly doubt they are going to enforce it to much, same as they hardly ever weight carry on bags either. As long as...

    ANZ improving transfer rates for Velocity effective 18 July

    Why do u need anymore conformation? the rates are going to get better, they haven't been vague and said they are adjusting/revising or the likes (which could of meant a decress). they are getting better which means no matter what you are better off waiting until the next bonus

    Qantas Cash Upto 10,000 Points

    Unless you really really badly needed the points I wouldn't bother $400 is way to much for 10,000/15,000 points. Any reason why u cant get a credit card? you can get a lot more bonus points then 10 000 for free

    Trip Advice: Melbourne - Singapore - Ahmedabad

    Your pic is way to small, but based off your questions im assuming your flying SQ 1. Check in early and do seat selection (you can try asking for a spare seat next to you or even exit row) but chances are not great if they flights busy at all. 2. SQ block alot of their seats so not a true...
