    If you only had ONE Credit Card, What would it be?

    it totally depends on your spend, once Amex plat, hands down (points, perks, savings) but not any more. The fact that amex is not accepted universally leaves visa or mastercad. For the flyer, probably ANZ traveller or if you a Virgin everything (phone, insurance, Velocity ) Virgin Visa IMHO

    I have a IDL issued 1979, when I hired a car in LA (in 1979) just left a cash deposit of $300 US and drove out on a new Ford Matador. No internet, no credit cards. Slept in the car that night and when a cop woke us up early next morning and asked us to open the boot, all he saw was a dozen...

    As you are international you may have a better experience? Upgrades are awarded to US premium members first and as PL you will be just up the bottom of a long list. If you are lucky enough to fly Delta internally you will experience the future of mass flight, be prepared. You should have no...

    50% bonus points with Virgin Australia

    plus free J partner fare (excl long haul) if you move over 500K amex, reasonable but IMO not worth parking 250K (+20%) in Velocity, unless you have a plan

    Credit Card "Concierge"... Why?

    You haven’t mentioned which card you have (or if this is a general enquiry) I’ve never used Citi (but based on the comments above, perhaps I will take a new look. They also have a free bottle of wine thing) I’ve used Visa a couple of times, but Amex (Platinum/Centurion) offers a wide range of...
