    Wizard Credit Card still overseas fee free?

    I'd noticed the same thing recently as well, basically the last month or so. I wasn't sure if it was just the volatility of the Aussie Dollar causing it (which has been bouncing around in a 2-3% range most days recently), or if they'd removed the 0% exchange fee (though it's not on the list of...

    I've had supplimentary cardholder transactions go through and earn bonus points as well. :)

    Enjoy 1 Bonus Point with every $2 you spend

    I just checked my account and all my transactions for the 1st of April had the additional 0.5 bonus points labeled "Accelerator Promo" - 2 points per dollar all up definitely makes the AMEX the card of choice for the next few months, even without QF transfers (my Starwood account can use topping...

    To transfer or not transfer to QF

    Keep in mind if you're interested in crediting points to Skywards going forward that you might like to consider getting Emirates Citi Platinum - Citibank Australia - earning 1.5 Skywards points per dollar along with other benefits relating to Emirates (a free chauffer ride per year when flying...

    Citibusiness Gold Transfers to QFF

    I received my Citibusiness statement today and in the blurb on the back of it there's a paragraph that states: "As a Citibusiness Cardholder, you are still able to redeem your Citi Reward points for Qantas Frequent Flyer Points on an ad hoc basis as part of the Citi Rewards program...

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    Well the rest of my outstanding points finally appeared to come through today. While I didn't reach the lofty heights of some here, I'm still happy with my haul of well over 400,000 points (and that was definitely shopping enough for me, can't imagine five times the transaction fun! :shock: ).

    Videoconferencing to slash govt airfare bill

    Our department has extensively rolled out videoconferencing and it has significantly reduced travel, especially for meetings and the like. Now there's more than enough bandwidth to run over IP between all sites it makes it especially appealing - people know they can catch up with colleagues at...

    Enjoy 1 Bonus Point with every $2 you spend

    I've got a Platinum Credit Card, so not points per dollar decrease that I'm aware of on it (just an ability to transfer to Qantas decrease). Maybe they're targeting members who had transferred to Qantas reguarly? I don't think any of us are going to find out the reasons why in a hurry though...

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    I'm in the same boat - basically received half the points I should have. I've put through a call to AMEX and they seemed pretty friendly anyway - so we'll see in 10 business days or so what happens (or not, given others experiences :D).

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    I received about half the points expected, so I guess it's time for a call for me today too - though at least it's a start!

    Best Direct Earn QFF Card

    The Citibank Citibusiness Gold card earns 1.25 points per dollar (transferable to QF on a 1 for 1 basis in blocks of 10,000) and requires a minimum income of $35,000 per year. From the details on the QF website, transfers to QF will continue as per normal after 31 March (as seems to be the case...

    New Qantas Milage Transfer - Worth it?

    Does anyone know where Citibusiness cards stand in all of this? In reading the QFF site it seems as though it's business as usual so to speak for the Citibusiness card - transfers to QF seem to be included still (as seems to be the case for pretty much all the business/corporate cards), but it'd...

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    In my experience points post on Saturday as well, so wouldn't be surprised if the points don't post until then (well I wouldn't be surprised if points fail to post properly either - but I guess we'll see soon enough!). :rolleyes:

    Sheraton promo

    Is there any opt-in code for this promo? Or is it like most of the recent ones and you're automatically signed up for it? (certainly would have preferred this one to the Colorado group one I got sent anyway! :D).

    Colorado Group Bonus Points Promo

    Just got a postcard in the mail with an offer of 1000 bonus points when spending $100 or more in a single transaction on your AMEX at Colorado, diana ferrari, Jag, Mathers or Williams. Unfortunately the T&C's say it's limited to the cardmember the postcard is addressed to though - not that I'm...

    Best use of reward points ?

    Agreed, that definitely is a bargain compared to most of the items on offer in the store - great find! Might have to give it some consideration for Christmas presents :).

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    The 7-Eleven closest to my office has no issues taking Amex for bus tickets - it's on the corner of Clarence St and Erskine St. As for Mastercard or Visa, any of the Transit Stop shops take them with no worries and no surcharges.

    Emirates Citi Platinum

    Just noticed the new card on the Citibank website at https://www.citibank.com.au/AUGCB/APPS/portal/loadPage.do?tabId=CreditCards&path=/prod/det/emirates_citi_platinum.htm - if you fly Emirates, or just looking for a new airline to switch to it looks pretty impressive for $199 per year (though...

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    Given that Vet had previously said that he had made multiple payments on a bill back when the promo first started, and posted as such earlier in this thread, I wish him luck!
