    How long did it take you to get your desired points?

    For me it used to be 3xMel-LAX in J 576K points, but then could never redeem that many seats, so then it was just buy semi flex Y fares and upgrade domestically. Then used points for a bunch of ASA's to get to platinum which lasted two years. Then QF was looking shaky a few years ago, in this...

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    I took up two of these, seems to be a good deal. A few quaffers a couple to drink and enjoy, then the Grant Burge to lay down.

    Where did I get robbed?

    I understand wholeheartedly your point to a degree, but for me its never been about the best exchange rate, I usually choose the changer close to the Hotel as the exchange rate offered in house is a blatant rip off 8-12% difference. That makes a difference over 8 x 6-10 day trips, I'd be close...

    Where did I get robbed?

    Happened to me in April, Ive been 7 times before and never had a problem as I only change $100 per visit.... This time I needed more for a large purchase so changed $100, all good then proceeded to foolishly change $500 more. We nutted out the total figure which resulted in 'more' money being...

    Steer clear of Qantas Cash

    Commercial airline routes that probably shouldn't exist

    Back in the day I took a few times an NZ flight whose route was AKL-TBU-APW-HNL on the 767. We got off in APW but it served the purpose of the local island bus.

    NAB Premium Rewards Card 40k bonus QFF Points with $0 annual fee first year

    Applied on the 28th approved with no fee. Called on the 29th to confirm my income (without proof). Told to expect my cards in the next 5-7 days. Hows that for responsible banking :shock:. Maybe because I had the platinum 3 years ago.
