    Except it doesn't cover pre-existing medical conditions.

    10% bonus miles when converting bank points into Asia Miles

    As @Human said it's pretty much instant but you do have to link your accounts first so that's an added step. Best not to leave the transfer to the last minute.

    10% bonus miles when converting bank points into Asia Miles

    Just bit the bullet and transferred some Amex to CX. Some of those points were from a sign-up bonus. It will be interesting to see if the 10% bonus comes through on all the points (I'm thinking that they will all count). I'll post the outcome here but I don't think there will be an answer...

    2025 Amex Membership Rewards Devaluation

    Of course a card like the Explorer or Ultimate that come with a travel credit equal to or exceeding the annual fee is a different proposition. But I agree that the value proposition for all cards is becoming more marginal all the time. Take me back to the good old days.

    No. I found it with the help of Mr Google.

    10% bonus miles when converting bank points into Asia Miles

    With rumours of an Amex to Cathay devaluation, I'm thinking it may be a good time to take advantage of this offer.

    NAB acquires Citibank Australia

    So pretty much works the same as the CitiPlus and its linked savings account did.

    NAB acquires Citibank Australia

    I see Macquarie have both a transaction account and a savings account. As far as I can see, both are fee-free on overseas transactions and overseas ATM cash withdrawals. Main difference seems to be the interest rate. Am I missing something?

    Woolworths gift card thread

    If you convert a number of physical cards to digital cards and add them to your wallet, do they remain as individual cards/amounts or do they get combined into one digital card with the combined balance?

    NAB acquires Citibank Australia

    I've been waiting for the dreaded email to arrive but so far nothing. I have been using the ex-CitiPlus account regularly since the migration so is it possible that active accounts will be treated differently? Probably wishfull thinking.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I've also used the Assistance Request Form and SQ extended the validity of my points by 12 months so they wouldn't expire. I think it's better to use the form rather than ring so that you get through to someone with the authority to give you the answer you desire.

    Passengers clapping after landing

    OK, so looks like it's a cultural thing in S America. Looking back at our Aegean flight, the first half of the flight was nice and smooth; the second half was far rougher than any other flight I've been on. I'm sure our neighbour wasn't the only one using rosary beads.

    Passengers clapping after landing

    No, but I've driven in Italy so I understand your comment.

    Passengers clapping after landing

    Never been on a flight where the pax have clapped but the lady next to us on an Aegean flight had her rosary beads in hand and blessed herself 5 times when we landed in Rhodes.

    Woolworths gift card thread

    While all valid points (pardon the pun), I'll wait until there is a 20x points offer. While YMMV, I don't need QF points that badly for me to take up this offer.
