    Qantas to fly Brisbane to Proserpine

    I guess it depends on what are wanting to do in the Whitsunday's region. Flying in to Proserpine and staying at Airlie Beach can be a lot less expensive for those wanting to do off-island activities such as exploring the outer reef, visiting other islands etc. Paying a premium for Hamilton...

    QF2 diversion to Baku

    I do wonder if there was an option to off-load the unfortunate ill passenger at Baku to receive the medical care needed, perhaps top up some fuel if needed, and then proceed to Dubai via Turkiye and Iraq within the flight crew's legal operating hours?. 400 pax arriving at Dubai might be easier...

    Joining American AAdvantage program for Aussie

    I seem to recall that Diners Club would transfer directly to AAdvantage at one point in time, and was a pretty decent exchange rate compared with laundering via SPG even with the bonus. Ahh, the good old days when my employer's corporate Diners Club card allowed points earning so long as the...

    Joining American AAdvantage program for Aussie

I generally transfer from Amex to Bonvoy (waiting for bonus transfer opportunities) and then from Bonvoy to AAdvanatage (again hopeful of finding bonus transfer rate opportunities). So with my Amex Platinum Edge credit card, I earn 3 Amex MR points per $...

    Load $100 onto a Qantas Pay card and earn 1,000 Qantas points until 5/8/25

    Well, technically I have had the card since it was issued to all members, but I have never loaded anything onto it. So might be new user of the card? I wonder if that counts?

    AFF Gathering #18 in MEL on 21-23 November 2025

    Flights booked, so I guess that makes me Platinum for the event. Alas, no Mrs NM for this one as she has other commitments. Now waiting for accommodation prices to drop below the current ridiculous rates, which does seem to happen closer to the actual stay dates, And I should be around for the...

    Can I earn reward points on an ANZ rewards black card paying bills?

    @markimaro , welcome to AFF. The answer to your question depends on how ANZ sees the transaction from the water service provider. The ANZ Rewards Program Terms and Conditions show that you won't earn rewards points on certain types of transactions: And under the "Definitions" section on page...
