    Woolworths Everyday Rewards Qantas Credit Card

    I noticed on the ACCC website the following tidbit of information - HSBC Bank Australia Limited - Notification - N94913 - So does anyone else know details about the card? It doesn't appear as an option on the Everyday Money site yet, but I guess it will soon. If the points are right I'm...

    AMEX : 250 bonus points per $20 spent

    Add me as another who has successfully registered for the promo - looking at the points coming through it's only spend on my Platinum Credit Card that's triggering the bonus, so it looks like the Charge Cards will be getting a rest for the next couple of months. :mrgreen: As for ways to pump...

    Qantas American Express Discovery Card

    That's correct - 1 bonus point per dollar on Qantas spend.

    AMEX Charge Cards - get up to $400 Ticketmaster Voucher (Exp: 3 Dec 2010)

    I noticed this offer at American Express® - it's not particuarly inspiring compared to others out there, but may be of interest to someone. The core details are: The American Express® Card Receive a $100 Ticketmaster voucher after your first $3,000 spend in the first 3 months. The...

    New baggage System for QF eff Dec 1, 2010

    I wonder if with the changes it will preclude the pooling of the weight aspects when travelling together with someone else. Currently if I travel with my wife in Y overseas we get 56kg all up (23kg each for Y plus 10kg extra for my QP membership). With the forthcoming changes that drops to 55kg...

    Auckland - Sydney oneway 89 NZD

    I note it now says "Now with more travel dates! Available 25 October to 30 November 2010 & 02 February to 30 April 2011". Given the Crowne Plaza Auckland is on PointBreaks at the moment as well it's very tempting to pop over for a cheap long weekend before the end of November! :cool:

    2 points per $1 spend

    Just to flag a point - for the Platinum Credit Card the free flight will be switching from being on Qantas to being on Virgin Blue, rather than Jetstar. Though I've only had limited flights on both, I'd definitely rank Virgin Blue well above Jetstar. Given that this will restore flights from...

    2 points per $1 spend

    A similar thing happened to me a few months ago - got the call out of the blue and they offered 1 point per dollar bonus up to 25,000 points for spend until the end of the year. It was targeted on my Gold Charge Card apparently, but because all my accounts are linked any purchase on the Platinum...

    AMEX Network - Coles Express Fuel Voucher (Exp 30 Sept 2010)

    Another to add my thanks for the offer (though with the amount of fuel I use it's more likely to be $30 worth of free V's coming my way with the current buy one get one free offer on 4-packs).

    New Bonus Partners for AMEX Platinum Charge and Centurion Cards

    I actually received a postcard in the mail on Friday outlining this promo - OK, it's almost a month after the bonuses commenced, but better late than never I guess!

    Customer Loyalty Bonus Points

    I had already been receiving a Customer Loyalty Bonus Points promotion (due to not cancelling my Gold Charge Card apparently - with an extra point per dollar up to $25,000 spend). But looking on the 24th for my spend I also got an additional 2.25 points per dollar (1 point, .5 points and .75...

    What sort of $ saving would you need to book a LCC?

    Just to clarify, the point was more in reference to travel within SE Asia, especially across international borders. As you've pointed out, within Australia for domestic travel all airlines offer one way fares which makes it much easier to justify keeping my travel on Qantas.

    What sort of $ saving would you need to book a LCC?

    Within SE Asia I've frequently flown a variety of LCC's (predominately AirAsia, but a smattering of others). With the sales AirAsia has, often the flights cost less than $10 including all taxes so even adding luggage and a snack on top doesn't come close to breaking the bank. On top of that...

    CitiBusiness promo points offer

    I received a card in the mail today from Citibank with a bonus points promo for my CitiBusiness card. Basically, if spending $7,000 or more between 15 August and 15 October then it earns 4,000 bonus points. Nothing earth shattering, but it's the first time in about three years that I've received...

    Qantas FF and Woolworths create new loyalty alliance

    This week I received another offer (that's three weeks in a row! :shock: ). For me it's 2 points per dollar spent in the meat department, with no minimum - and that's on top of the 1 point per dollar for spending over $30 as well. I guess I'll have to look if there's anything actually worth...

    Qantas FF and Woolworths create new loyalty alliance

    I've found that the DSE's in my area have no issue price matching advertised prices (for retail shops anyway, not for online competitors) even though they don't actively promote it. Given they have no surcharges for AMEX either and they also take Wish cards (which are easy enough to buy for a 5%...

    Is it worth status credit run for Gold to Platinum

    Another option is flying SYD-TSV return via BNE - gives you 50SC's all up. At the moment it's $404 return, but there's always the chance of additional sales between now and then.
