    Travel Newbie Freelance Designer USA Visa Help

    I can't see why it would. You aren't in the USA to work, just in transit/holiday. What you do in Canada is none of the USA's business.

    Travel Newbie Freelance Designer USA Visa Help

    You could always get a flight to NYC and then a train to Toronto. Or just a separate local flight from LAX to YVR. Evan :->

    American Express Preferred Seating code for Broadway

    Earlier this year I bought a ticket to an LA Kings NHL Game that had a deal for AMEX Cardholders via Ticketmaster It required a password to get the discount. I didn't know it, but tried a couple of basic ones hoping for a fluke. Surprisingly, the password was AMEX. It may or probably wont...

    Qantas - How Good Is This?

    Of course! Although the late arrival meant missing an event I had planned to see (I was cutting it fine anyway) the in flight power wasn't working. Any chance I'll get some cash back for that? ;-)

    Qantas - How Good Is This?

    I had the reverse happen kinda. Last Wed Qf 11 from SYD-LAX was delayed 80 mins so the IFE could be fixed. I'd have preferred my 80 mins back

    Flight History - Full or not

    Perhaps the employee should have printed (or screen dumped) the booking page showing the inability to book Y.

    Incoming Passenger Card and declarations

    I thought clothes for personal use (even if purchased overseas) didn't count in the $900 limit anyway. Evan :->

    MaroochydoreA/Port to become Sunshine Coast A/Port

    I'd say so.... same as Gold Coast Airport is still OOL (even though the more logical GCT code is still available) Evan :->

    YVR for Olympics - late stage booking - should we?

    I'd do it.... in fact I am doing it (not the Opening Ceremony though). Check out Stubhub 2010 Winter Games Opening Ceremonies Tickets - Vancouver Winter Games Opening Ceremony Tickets at StubHub! I've got 2 tickets through them and 2 through the AOC (both at inflated prices :() Stubhub are...

    Query re reward points on Mastercard on Death of holder

    I'd even go as far as advising not to tell Qantas at all. Just transfer the points and let the account lapse in 3 years (it's not as though they ever call you to find out why you aren't flying anymore). The downside is the occasional junk mail from Qantas addressed to your father which may be...

    Comm Bank to issue AMEX... changes to QF/Velocity point earning

    The balance and available credit will remain at N/A as it doesn't have its own balance. The fact that the card number is there is your indication that the card is on its way. When you get it, you don't need to activate it. It is live in the envelope. Not the most secure way of mailing a card...

    SAS Partner points

    You could always try Finnair from TLL-LHR via HEL (unless you have a reason to go to Stockholm). Being OW, there is no concern re QFF points. Evan :->

    Comm Bank to issue AMEX... changes to QF/Velocity point earning

    No chip on the card. Also, no access to linked savings/cheque account via the AMEX card and you have to use the MC/Visa to get a balance via an ATM (you can change the PIN via the ATM though). According to the flyer that came with the card, the bonus points offer lasts for 2 months from the...
