    AMEX Rewards Maximiser or new QF Premium card?

    Keep in mind that 2 Westpac points = 1 QFF point. So on the Westpac Gold Altitude card you get 1.5 QFF points per dollar, like the rewards maximiser. Given that both cards are Amex, and both have the same earn rate, there's no real advantage for either from a points earning perspective, at...

    CBA cancellation "offer"

    No way... even the absolute best companies will of course get cancellation requests all the time! If they aren't giving you an offer to save you, they don't value your business.

    New CPA Platinum Credit Card.

    I asked about this, and was told that they have a dedicated Platinum Credit Card servicing team, based in Sydney, which is apparently made up of their more experienced people. You can call 24/7 and you'll be routed to this team. No more Indian call centre and no more having to call during...

    QFF RTW award?

    Is there a RTW award available with QFF? I don't see one on the QFF website, but I think someone mentioned one before. If so, what are the RTW fare types available, and what is the point cost for the different classes of service? Thanks a lot!

    Using Asia Miles to get Qantas flights for less points

    Amex will let you earn Asia Miles You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards points to Asia Miles, but it's not a good earn rate compare to Qantas: 2 MR points = 1 Asia Mile 1 MR point = 1 Qantas point So if you have a Rewards Maximiser or Platinum card, for every AU$1 you...

    Velocity NAB 15,000 point offer!

    I just spoke with the folks at NAB, and they said that even though I had applied for the card with the 5,000 points offer, they will credit my account with the additional 10,000 points once the account is set up if I call back at that point. So those of us who applied early are still in luck!

    So how much are points worth?

    Thanks Lindsay Looking at just Sydney-Cairns and Sydney-Perth, it looks like the value of a point varies by sector, but within a given sector there's no difference between fare classes. I'm looking forward to what Velocity V2 looks like! The fact that they're actively monitoring AFF is...

    So how much are points worth?

    Thanks a lot Mal... it is pretty hairy. Crazy Dave & the others from Virgin Blue: Please try to make Velocity as transparent as possible. With the info we have now, it's tough for me to really understand the program -- and I'd imagine it's next to impossible for the average bloke. I can...

    So how much are points worth?

    Looking through the Velocity website, I can see that points have an exact $$ value... 1 point = x cents, and you use those points to pay for the fare based on current ticket prices, rather than there being a fixed point cost for a fare. The question is, what is "x" in that equation?? I...
