If it's every month for sure, just set the thing up to DDebit $1 - or am I missing something?

Good post Yoz, I was in a similar boat, - Bronze, never been Silver with Qantas but had only made 2 JQ flights in the year for 120 or 150 SC's. Only other points gained were by the new Qantas CC (including a sign up bonus), and was in my final 3 months of the Qantas year. Will be interesting to...

markis10 - there's a few. When you select a city (eg Hobart), and sort the results by QFF points - the first 4 hotels displays the price eg. $150 per night - gain 1800 QFF points. Just an example. There are a few hotels in most cities which normally pay 6 points per $.

Spend $100 per week for 3 weeks for $20 gift card - didn't even bother to activate it.

Even though today's email sates this : Earn double points on bookings throughout all of June on any Australia partner hotel booked at qantas.com for stays until 31 March 2014. Choose from over 780 partner hotels Australia wide and earn 6 points per A$1 spent. Offer ends: 30 June...

Great review Hummel, I flew them around 7 years ago and I recall my Dad (retired ATC) telling me never to fly an airline with China (or India) in its name! Definately one of, if not the cheapest "real" airline going around. Although flying Y I had a similar experience to you, food pretty...

It's funny when I first started getting QP passes through my Credit Card, I phoned Qantas to enquire if they were just for me or if the missus could use one, or family member etc - of course they said it was fine, they are fully transferable but they also stated I could even, "Sell them on Ebay"...

No extra points Shinkz, but the photo on the top of the email of the Flametrees Chardy, rather than the Shadowfax in the mixed doz I thought was quite nice.. markis10 - is that the 4000 bonus points from 2x6 packs (SC Pannel from memory)? Strange, mine posted within days. Glad you got em though. .

I don't think it comes down exclusively to salary, more how one spends their cash. Last year my taxable income was $55,000, and I managed to travel in J a few times as well as Y. Having said that I my house is paid for, I invest successfully in the stock market, have other investments, pay my...

Re: EDR Targetted Bonus Point Promotions Free Delivery Code for Mothers' Day weekend - MUM3D valid til 9am Monday 13th March. Worked well with the "24 hour sale" above.

Before I applied for this credit card last year I called the insurance company (Zurich from memory) and they assured me the credit card insurance (HSBS Plat, Qantas) was the same product they sold as "normal" travel insurance. All I needed to do was have access (online or paper) to "proof" I had...

Wherever I am I'll be glad I'm a silent voter, and no longer need to "run the gauntlet" at the local school, people trying to stuff pamphlets under my nose etc - will miss the sausage sizzle but there's always bunnings.

Bangkok - MBK shopping centre, and the one across the road from there has been my staple for the last 12 years or so. Near the National Stadium BTS (skytrain) station. Quality was good and price as well. Plenty of shops in there (7 stories from memory). Chutachuk (sp?) market open from memory...

So in a nutshell, the airport (MEL) are cutting out the short fare "loophole" because certain taxi drivers are cheating, and the taxi drivers are protesting the airport? Shouldn't they be protesting the drivers who are cheating the system? Look at the cause, not the symptom? Fair's fare and all...

Another alternative if status runs and QP membership fees aren't worth it (ie not planning on a lot of GF/JQ flying next year) are the single entry Qantas Club/Business Lounge passes available on Ebay. The same kind Silver get, as well as some credit cards hand out. They go for $40-60 odd (per...

In a nutshell, whatever status you attain in your current year, you will keep for the following year even though your status credits revert to zero on June 1st. ie. If you attain Silver or Gold a month before your year ends - you will be Silver or Gold for 13 months. If you attain Gold in...

ok, makes sense.

Thought no legal eagle, I would imagine it is illegal, as you would be fraudulently acquiring the Qantas points, by making a "purchase" with full intention to refund (through different kind of transaction; genuine credit card purchases are refunded back to the original credit card). However...

Does it really matter?

Re: EDR Targetted Bonus Point Promotions Anyone get the Woolies Shareholder wine offer along with another big bundle of junk mail from Cellarmasters? Doesn't look a bad deal if the wines are any good. 14 for $179.88, or $130.88 for the other dozen. Granted no bonus points other than points per...
