I would say yes. You should get a congratulatory email on the day you've requalified and the status would show in the app. EDIT: I thought I'd received such an email but I didn't. I was confusing it with a generic "your new Status experience awaits" email, which I didn't read and happened to...

But this a thread about the value of points, not the value in credit cards and their benefits. Just about all Amexs offer more benefits than the annual fee. However, Amex points have been hugely devalued in terms of earn and burn. Without a business to earn points, and with 18 months between...

This made me smile: "Pub chats in Birmingham – The disbelief on people’s faces when I said I was only there for 48 hours was worth it." When I worked in Basingstoke, Monday morning smoko was all about where I'd been on the weekend. Many couldn't comprehend that I'd driven to say, Leeds or...

Rentalcover sounds like a reasonable deal. Amex Explorer doesn't exclude much and will cover repairs if you don't purchase waiver cover. It limits cover to cars (only, pretty much - eg not campers/motorhomes) less than $100k, 31 days hire or less, plus some other relatively obscure events (eg...

Credits come through yet @tinkybelle? What was merchant name? Oddly, my transaction posted just now as the winepeople. Last time the merchant was the australianwine and the credits posted from winepeople.

Land tax and rates are being used as an example of taxation of unrealised capital gains. Lots of people affected by those.

I'm way closer to FG than I thought I would be. 75% of the way there. Sadly I have only 4000 SCs from VA marketed and/or operated flights so would need 5000 SCs more. The 9000 SC qualifier is too high given VA's INT and DOM network. I'll end up getting 13000+ SCs to get the 12000 needed for FG.

They don't but they sell their own. Accordingly, I'm not overly perturbed that I didn't get it on my Explorer or wife's Vel Plat.

I'm another who thought it odd and didn't know that an insurance company can cancel your rego, especially considering insurance over and above MAI/CTP collected as part of vehicle registration, is not mandatory. But most concerning is that if an insurance company cancels your rego, then your...

You'll be covered for the first $5000 of the $5900 with your credit card policy which means that you'll have to pay the other $900. Should be easy to compare that with what you'll pay in premium and excess for the separate policy.

And now I have I have a perk!! Jasmine Rice. Eerie feeling of being watched 👀:eek:😲👀

The game has been slowly dying for non-business owners for many years now. There are still some opportunities to earn decent points but the opportunity and value to redeem has diminished at a greater rate. Many have reasonably concluded that the juice is barely worth the squeeze.

Just a reminder that it's June and time to do the second round of pay $20/get 5000pts offer.

I seemed to have missed out on an actual perk this month but I have been offered 15x points on all party products at Big W. Trash.

I recall comedy sketch shows like Fast Forward had a lot of material about bank repossessions and mortgagees owing more now than when they took out the loan.

Enjoying this TR a lot @Matt_01. Great photos. I haven't been to and can't think of a more magnificent building on the planet than the Potala Palace. It knocked the Taj Mahal, which usurped the Angkor Wat, from top spot in terms of WOW! in my personal list.

It's possible it's more related to a legal issue and may be mandated by the referee's firm, rather than a reflection on the candidate. If a candidate fails to live up to the reference or is none too positive in the reference, the referee may be on the hook. Faced with a "damned if you do...

I think a long weekend in Birmingham from CBR is the strangest thing I've ever read here. I also thought QR F awards out of Aus were not available, or does that not apply to "last minute" departures?

Saw a FB/TT post about one in China by two Western Sydney bogans who may have been on their first trip anywhere such was their over-the-top enthusiastic yet naive presenting style. Only other memorable thing was the cost, which was incredibly cheap, apparently. I'd give it a whirl. Not that...

I think there is a requirement to transfer over the rego but we've been here for only ten years - who's to say that we're moving here permanently? We have a house in VIC too and use that as the rego address. A bit like hire car companies I guess. We don't keep it registered interstate to...
