    Financially yes but given as these are a good way of paying large bills with surcharges/ineligible for FF points 😉, I bought the yellows

    AFF Point Valuations

    My mental calculation for premium redemptions involves how much cash would someone have to offer for me to move back to Y. I therefore have lower personal point valuations, but I'm not unhappy if they exceed 1c when points rich, >2c if points limited Maths for me is: (perceived...

    Weight loss is hard as the brain wires itself to try to get back to heaviest weight. Some people are able to do by will-power alone but for many the hunger drive is analogous to how a normal weight person feels when they haven't eaten for days. I haven't personally prescribed but Mounjaro &...

    AFF Point Valuations

    Given the ability to swop between programmes QR Avios value is effectively the same as BA/AY/IB but slightly widens the earning and redemption ability. None of the other Avios are easier to earn with credit card in Aus. KF feels undervalued to me given premium availability. Comes down on expiry...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Easiest way to keep kids' QF points from expiring

    To clarify, sending points to the children will not prevent expiry Sending the childrens' to your active account will extend If child balance<2000, i use conga method. Parent to child 1 to child 2 (to child 3 to child 4 etc if required) then back to parent. This only uses up one of your transfers
