There is a temporary unavailability of redemptions across the program between those dates. But SQ, Etihad, Qatar and Cathay will not be redemption partners from 16 Nov.

It would be easier to make decisions if NAB provided some/any info relating to points after the MyCard migration.

It was 20x three weeks ago for almost the same cards. Annoyingly the retailer I wanted (Officeworks) wasn't on a $100 card then so I got stacks of $50's. The patience of some checkout dude is going to be tested.

I’d check the T&Cs for any cutoff time past the booking time that invalidates the booking. If there’s not one then picking up late is not an issue. I’ve done that quite a lot in Australia (usually hertz Mitchell act) without any issue. But I did it in Italy with a car through Rentalcars.Com and...

Don't forget that EK now also limits F awards to its own elites, meaning that transferring credit card points to EK without Skywards status there has limited use. Another nail in my FFP coffin.

Are phone bookings the norm for Cathay awards? I'm also thinking this is a good deal for my Amex points but know little about the Asia Miles program.

Not limited to QF Hotels. I recently tried to book on Expedia. After doing plenty of searches over a week, where the price didn't change, I came back to book and was quoted that price [X]. When I hit go to checkout a few seconds later, a box appeared saying something like "We hate it when...

Only in the worst possible scenario does 100k-120k points cost $120k to $240k plus surcharges. This weeks Woollies gift card offer sees 100k QFF cost a tick under $1,200. And that's not an especially good deal but you do end up with $20,000 of visa cards to pay bills that wouldn't normally...

Ampolcash is listed as a retailer. As is BP and Caltex. The Citi cashback offers are ending soon, aren't they?

$110 for 2000 points. Lousy.

Yes there are other, somewhat intangible costs. Those may be offset by equally intangible benefits though. The thrill of the chase/kill or enjoyment of a pre-departure champers, for example.

I'm a bit surprised at the cost, which may or may not be good value compared to the cost of a kennel/cat house(?) depending on the duration. There's a million reasons why one would travel with a pet but one of the more common ones would be a holiday/trip away. The pet owners would also need to...

Another way to look at it would be in terms of QFF points. This equates to $1,200 for 100k QFF points (excl any increasingly worthless Amex points). Better deals around but this an easy, virtually risk free way to accumulate points without stuffing your credit rating. OT and discussed in...

I don't understand how the marshal knows this?

I had interpreted the email that came out at the start of the month incorrectly. Good to know and nice summation. I don't use these accounts for savings so am not concerned with that aspect. So with or without the upcoming dropping of the "hoops" by ING, I don't really need another account...

So ING and Citi/NAB now borked for international use. Any referrals for Macquarie or AMP or Bankwest accounts?

Mustn't have been any "influencers" onboard. Sounds like they did well to off-load pax without being accused of fat-profiling or fat-shaming.

Isn't it ever! @gaz0303 finds himself in a nasty downward spiral now. The Dr was a good one which meant that he didn't need to visit and is now delisted. The only Drs that will be available will be bad ones that no-one wants to see or whose patients have died and thus are taking on new ones...

@Poojou do Hertz offer no recharge on EVs like Europcar, or is it return 80% full?

This! But absolutely not the Australian way. Whether it's the rolling stock, or the ticket system, or submarines, or the internet, or even nuclear power, we have to reinvent the wheel at 10x the initial cost to get something that's half as good as something that's existed in other parts of the...
