Oh well. Couldn't be much more of a first-(one)world problem

Don't suppose this applies to other OW carriers? Am booked for DOH-HKG F on QR followed by HKG-SYD J on CX (separate ticket)

Another potentially useful disposal avenue for the visa debits is linkt tolls. Lower fees for debit v credit though haven't checked if you need to do the surcharge sums

In Big W just now

With a QF credit card you may also get Qantas spend bonus. 2 QF is probably a reasonable swop for 3 MR on Edge

Just a data point (and may have been mentioned on previous offers) that the 5 card per day limit is for each card type

I presume the (I think) unique feature of earning SCs on AS redemptions is being retained. May make lots of sense for the right flyer. Like most US programmes no domestic US lounge access with status

As discussed upthread 1000 WOW=500 QF Platinum Edge 315 MR=157 VA/CX/Avios/QF Use it somewhere that otherwise charges a surcharge/doesn't pay CC FF points I find the biggest time wasted is going to stores with no stock which is usually not a problem with this type of offer. Redemption...

Have been hunting around and looks like I'm probably wrong. Superannuation Tax Free Component | Super Guy suggests that once income stream started ratio is locked in. Sorry if I've caused alarm....... (and hoping I don't cop as much flak as Campese is after getting the Wallabies wrong)

My understanding (and I could be wrong as I'm applying logic rather than a clear source) is that the taxed component would be $300k and the untaxed $12k. If the fund grew by the same amount the following year with same withdrawal the untaxed component would become $12k (from last year) + $12k +...
