I can't even get QR on schedule open. Might be resigned to using my avios on SYD-DPS on Garuda. Not the worst use IMO.

I think it depends on what type of Wise US checking you have. Old ones yes, new ones recent data says no IIRC. You can set up a non-resident alien checking account with Alliant, a few other ways have been discussed in this thread

Us global mail is 15USD per month how are you spending 1.7k USD? No credit card is worth 1.7kUSD annual fee...

At the risk of rubbing salt in the wound, did you try emailing the ticketing escalations email address?

I know a few (hundred) pages back someone worked out that Alipay was being coded as Hilton Honors direct spend (roflmao) for 14x back on aspire. I dug deeper and noticed that there are (a range of) services promoting bpay via alipay, mostly in the language you would expect Alipay talk to be in...

online evisa is OK or do you recommend visa on arrival?

BA and RJ both fly out of Terminal 2. Can I just OLCI and walk to the new boarding gate or does it not work like that at CAI? Happy to pay $25USD for a "tourist" visa for five hours. Can try to work in an overnight stay as well if it works for the itinerary.

It is less than 24 hours but I don't think time matters for "surface segments", flying into out of JFK and out of LGA etc counts as a surface segment even if it is <24 hour connection. Hope I am wrong, I guess I will find out when I attempt to change the booking but hope I can know what ground...

If my OWA begins DUB-LCY/LHR-JFK does the LCY-LHR surface segment count as a stopover? I may have stuffed something up...

I have the best Nova story I ticked the nova box I was told I didn't tick the nova box and it would be assessed with my credit history. (Amex reps who aren't on the fraud line are just as badly trained as QF offshore staff. They make things up) I was approved anyway with 0 credit history...

BA inbound, RJ outbound. Cheap CAI-SYD fare :)

Brains trust question for CAI specifically. In an ill-advised attempt to avoid long haul economy no matter the cost of my sanity, I have a transfer with two separate tickets at CAI. Hand luggage only, no checked bags. 5 hour transit time. Will this be possible?

The last time I applied 3 months ago, I actually got a call at like 7am in the morning from someone with a very Australian accent (or very good at faking one) asking me to verify some details. Then, I was declined on the phone. I suppose that this was better than getting auto declined. Maybe...

Separate ticket connection at CMB - arrive on SQ468 at 11:35pm, depart on UL501 at 03:25am. 3hr50 min transfer time. First time at CMB but played this game before. Doable or stupidest thing ever at midnight, when all the desks are probably closed?

Booked on HND-SIN on JL as part of OWA in F - JL equipment swap from APR-NOV from 777-300 to 787. Anyone have a crystal ball and can tell me if they will swap to A350-1000 for NOV-MAR again? Or do I prepare myself for a 3 hour phone call with qantas

Fiji Airways now full member, Can be used on OWA?

Biz Plat doesn't have 5x flights, only 5, flights on amex travel iirc

Because Amex US plat gives 5x on flights, for Coles worth you get more points by buying colesworth gift cards on Qantas Marketplace and then spending Of course, this ignored any 3-4% off you might get via your super fund/union membership/etc etc. 3% HSBC also works at aldi, and if you get 10%...

More cough than usual, or the usual level of cough except you personally have flown SQ so much that you've seen all the movies?

I think based on discussions Qantas calculator is wrong for DFW. DFW still counts as east coast? Or special case where DFW-west coast is 100SC and DFW-east coast is 80SC
