Yes indeed, thank you for pointing that out. So, on a $100 card you get 1,000 WOW points, or $5, after paying a fee of $5.95! Tell 'em they're dreaming! (The $50 cards are even worse.) Of course, you could convert your 1,000 WOW points to 500 QF; they're still dreaming!

I can't see the fee clearly; is it $5.95 on the Vanilla cards?

Bummer

Can we Australians use a IDP issued in Germany? Would be nice if we could.

I've done the withdrawal and re-contribution strategy a couple of times in my self-managed super fund. Assuming you are over 60 (tax-free withdrawals), past your preservation age and stick within the contribution caps, etc... the contribution will go into your accumulation account (best if the...

Perhaps it's time to sit down with a qualified and independent advisor?

Fortunately I have managed to train a couple of local establishments in how to accept them.

To add to the annoyance (and assuming you bought a restaurant gift card that has a value of $100): If your restaurant bill is more than the value of the card you will have to get them to enter $100 into the machine, swipe and enter the PIN, then pay the remainder with another or alternative...

Well, the A220 already appears to be having an impact. From late October there are many days with Classic Rewards available (in both Y and J); certainly far more than was showing a couple of weeks ago when almost everything was Classic Plus. Of course the number of points has also increased...

Especially if your flight from DPS is delayed...

I am/was aware of the 717 & 737 doing SYD-CFS on occasions and thought I had seen the 220 on a couple of occasions as well; but perhaps my memory is not what it used to be. Either way, I'll be pleased to have the choice of J classic awards and the extra capacity should also help with Y awards.

The 220 has made a number of appearances between SYD and CFS over the past couple of years but it's good to see it locked in as Classic awards on the Q400 are becoming scarce, especially close in. Classic Plus in Y on the Q400 starts from around 18,600 and goes as high as 25,800, while a...

Points bookings prior to the devaluation?

Actually it was the walk from the DFO to International that was the worst bit: that's where the mozzies got me. 1754274946 Sure; but I was keen on getting some exercise.. I'll just walk around the terminal lounge next time.

This is the thing for me. I like walking and my GP wants me to walk at least 45 mins per day. When I travel without +1 (she's not a walker) I will usually walk part of the way; for example, I'll walk from Syd domestic to Mascot station (not to save the bus fare but to get the exercise)...

I wish people would wait until the investigation is completed. I've seen two programs on TV recently stating that one of the pilots committed suicide. There are other possible scenarios but it doesn't stop the media from making a $ in the meantime..

There's a Hilton Airport Hotel in Madrid although it's about a half hour walk from the terminals. However, when we stayed there they had a complimentary shuttle service. Back on topic...

The first rule of booking a OWA is to be flexible with dates and routings.

They should be fine. Are all your transits under 24 hours? If you can't book online, make sure you log out a couple of hours before you ring.

The $450 must be used all in the one booking via the amex travel website; if the booking meets the T & Cs you will get the DSCs.
