I actually booked a Qatar flight from Barcelona to Adelaide in J with Avios redeemed from Citi. It was 90k Avios + $300 AUD in taxes, so even with a 3:1 transfer it was 270k Citi points. Flight with SQ for comparison would have been 130.5k for a saver award + $65, so with a 2.5:1 transfer it's...

They gave 40k Qantas points instead of 70k. I believe the Commbank award to QFF ratio is 2.5:1 which would equal 40k pts, so I assume something happened in the system where it didn't register the QFF opt-in. ($30 QFF opt-in fee was taken straight away).

The missus got this card a few months back. It took the full 90 days for the bonus to show up even though the spend was met within a couple weeks of receiving the card. Commbank also posted the wrong bonus amount. We did an online complaint to which they responded admitting the error. The...

JAL reward flights come out 360 days in advance on Qantas site, be ready at 11am and you should be able to snag a flight easily. I believe it’s around 90k points one way though. I snagged two flights for December this way. Try getting return flights via Singapore, usually plenty out of Osaka...

Yeah, I used the $450 travel credit. I would see what the cancellation policy is for your hotel booking. I don't think Amex will return the travel credit so maybe call up and see what options Amex travel gives you.

Hi all, I had a Qantas flight through Amex Travel that I had to cancel, they provided me with a flight credit hold for rebooking within 12 months. Would there be any issues in rebooking this with Amex Travel if I cancel my card in the meantime? I believe they ask for a card number when you...

Relay like a @duck.com email address that forwards to your gmail or whatever you choose. Custom email would be something linked to your personal domain name, like [email protected]. I guess points.com / Aeroplan are bit weird about it. My wife had 1 out of 2 transactions cancelled for no reason...

So I got to the bottom of this, basically points.com’s system does not like relay emails or custom email domains. The transaction will be instantly declined but it will still do a preauthorisation. So no issues with the cards or the account, just had to use a common email domain. Thankfully we...

Not sure what's going on, but I have been unable to purchase any points with either my 28 Degrees, Amex or Citi Visa. Just getting "There was a problem with your credit card information. Please try again, or different card".

This is definitely not for everyone as it's quite a bit of flying. ADL to Tokyo Narita, business return via Fiji with a 17-22hr stopover in Nadi both ways. Alternatively you can do a multi trip, stay for 5 nights and fly onto Tokyo for the same price. - GF Link Couple hundred cheaper if you're...

I'm fairly positive Discover Cars sell your credit card info, last year I've made a booking on their website with my 28 Degrees card which I barely use, then about 6 weeks later I had unauthorised charges pop up. Thought it was a coincidence until it happened again when I booked once more...

Thanks, yeah going through immigration is a given if I have to collect my bags, at least it’s good to hear it’s only an hour.

Qantas and Qatar, two seperate tickets, Qantas with reward flights and purchased flights with Qatar.

Hi all I am planning on booking reward flights from Australia to Manila then booking a return flight onto Europe from Manila. With the outbound I will probably have about 5-6 hours between flights, would there be any issues with collecting bags and checking in within that time? Both flights...

Amex QFF Ultimate - About $17k spend year to date, called up to cancel and got asked why I'm doing so. Got offered 15k points to keep, less than expected but wasn't really planning on going through with the cancellation anyway.
