    Wise debit card

    a) Wise will neatly list your spend in the currency you transacting. I find that convenient to walk out of a shop and see 390THB transacted rather than checking that against a displayed AUD conversion b) Virtual cards are also useful for registering to all those overseas signups we do when...

    Wise debit card

    ING have entered the maximising profit from those that don't realise how uncompetitive they have become stage. Citibank Visa Debit was good, then they introduced the fees and now with the move to NAB it also needs to go. My trip next week will be the first trip since 2010 when neither ING or...

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    Getting back to the original topic. I am still ....... waiting for Vietjet to cancel my flight. No wait, I just checked BNE arrivals.

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    After living in FNQ I'm not fond of that. I'm just assuming they will be using it when things are more imminent.

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    I'm scheduled to fly Vietjet VJ84 BNE-SGN 11:40pm which operates on the same aircraft that operates VJ83 SGN-BNE departs SGN 10:40am local (equivalent to BNE 13:40). As a discount carrier I feel certain VJ wont dispatch a wide body to BNE if it's likely to be diverted to SYD where they will have...

    BNE-SIN-LHR Splitting programs

    As a part of upcoming SQ RTW fare I'm toying with the idea to credit the first half of BNE-SIN-LHR to Velocity. My idea would be BNE-SIN credit to VA SIN-LHR credit to Krisflyer on the way SQ qualification The only way I see it happening is if I only check-in BNE to SIN using Velocity...

    Understanding SQ/KF status attainment

    My understanding that as at Jan 2026 your elite miles will go to Zero. You will continue to be a Solitaire until 12 months from when you achieved that level. Let's say you go Solitaire Jul 2025, then you remain Solitaire until 2026 by which time you go to what ever level you've achieved...

    I also take heed that the 'normal' spend transactions earn 8x Money, 4x Velocity points per transaction. Not per dollar.

    Any Oneworld Lounge @MNL open past midnight?

    Blacksheep and Clifford I consider you are brave taking on the QF97/98 schedule. What's your plan QF97 - Arrival into MNL 1am, let's say cleared immi and baggage by 1:45am, Makati type 2:30am QF98 - keeping hotel for an extra night then heading out to NAIA midnight? That schedule will kill me...
