Thanks for the heads up re Br website. My browsers (Edge and Chrome) didn't convert to English which was annoying. Getting clear the points transfer at 1:1. What's the earn rate? Guessing it's 1 point/USD - will be pleasantly surprised if there are bonus categories. I have my brokerage assets...

Let's not forget Patek Philipe (if that's how you spell it). It's a sponsor of all SQ IFE Movies that I've seen. Can't wait to see what generous offer they'll have there (guess by the same token, we're talking about brands that don't officially ever discount so why start with Amex customers -...

I got excited when I saw yours until …. I saw it was Breitling. I can see a less amazing deal with Tag Heuer too. I haven’t worn a traditional watch for years since my first Apple Watch. Don’t think I’ll start now.

The "reforms" will take care of that ... including our rewards points. That's all coming in July I believe.

Looks interesting & it’s a Visa so better acceptance. Doesn't allow me to click on the "points" panel. Does anyone know what the rewards are for this card? High cash threshold though. I don’t have that kind of $$ in my US accounts - just enough for my CC bills.

Just looping back on this one. As expected, delivery was rejected at my US postal service. I've called and arranged for a new card to be delivered to me in AU which should be in over a week - supposedly by courier but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. They've added my AU address as a...

Re taxes/ATO only pay what you owe as there is a high risk they will retain the funds until you have sufficient liability to offset the payment. I suspect someone got tired of refunding taxes that weren’t owed to taxpayers who were repeatedly mistakenly over paying to earn their SUBs or points.

Thanks @sudoer, I've also sent a message to my provider to get clear on how they handle this given they've refused delivery by courier once before and their website states they receive delivery of packages and mail. Amex chat on my app stated this morning I can wait 48-72 hours before...

I concur with @sudoer, though I've had a HSBC AU account for ages, the process of getting a US account was very simple to get a US account. I do have a question which I'm hoping there's a DP for. I upgraded my Personal Green to Platinum. I'm expecting they will deliver it to me by courier and...

I think it's this entry which is the issue: I had to "move" when mine was identified by C1 as such. My new one is fine though they insist on US government issued ID before they will issue me a card. They even went so far as to approve me then deny me when I couldn't provide this item. My AU...

Most purchases in IT were dining. I was nervous about using it for a €700 dining charge in IT and it went through. I can’t recall what I bought in MY but used my Citi card for most charges. Most of the charges were for Grab rides (they’re very cheap in $A compared to uber in AU or even grab in...

With your US charges, I'm guessing they're online and over the phone or are they "in person" in the US?

I've had my card since January. Made my application in branch and got approved after I returned to AU. Aside from web-based charges (I think they've only been a couple), all other charges have been in AU, Italy, Malaysia so far. Guessing there will be some questions asked about why that is the...

I tried to use my CSP in Singapore earlier this week and it was declined and account suspended for suspected fraud. Just spoke with Chase and they asked to call before 6pm US ET. I'll try to call again this evening (after 8am US ET as I tried to call last night). I'll try again tonight (I was...

I just saw this video. Whilst I don’t think we should all take ourselves in hand and head for the hills, I think Chase is just as prone as C1 and others to shut down accounts with no explanation. The video includes some behaviours which we as customers think are innocent enough but Chase’s...

ok thanks for the heads up. I was hoping for an upgrade offer as I don’t want to trigger FR given that declared income last year with my property settlement was much higher than it will be now. I’m assuming a NLL application would be a new application. If I’m disclosing reduced income (I don’t...

I do my own travel arrangements as exclusively travel on points (though I’m sure the ‘reforms’ will out paid to that) so I haven’t got much out of it except the line of credit. Guess the extra ‘marginal’ points earn has helped though the recent devaluation (and likely further devaluation) has...

Aren’t FPOs installment payments with ‘no Interest’ for 12 months but an upfront fee which the call center operators minimized as ‘zero interest’? They’ve been slowly increasing the up front fee on these after Citi used it to fatten up their credit card book during the sales process? The upfront...

I used the numbers I could see at the time I made my post. It was late evening where I am in Europe. I think the Visa debit rate will be different again as is stated. I think the Revolut rate is ‘dynamic’ whereas the Visa rate is set daily.

I'm considering the Plat via upgrade from my Green. They're offering me 125K MR points SUB for $895 AF. That works out to approx $A0.01 per point - that's "OK" though since points earning from AU cards will soon be gone. Does the US Plat card have any features/credits I might not have seen the...
