Did not feel packed to us (Peppers felt more packed to me). The veranda rooms gave a nice open space (we did stay over Christmas as well). We were Diamond when we stayed some years back now (before it became adults only). Back then we got welcome drinks and free breakfast...... I believe that is...

Key to enjoying the Cairns heat, pick somewhere close to the ocean - wonderful afternoon sea breeze...... it just does not penetrate much further inland than a couple 100m.

My pick for the area and your criteria would be Accor - The Reef House Retreat in Palm Cove. Accommodation is great and their complementary inclusions are great. Really great food options in Palm Cove...... it does miss your beach avoidance request, but the beach does not interfere with the...

To compare a return on your investment, I believe we should look at a fixed investment. I just choose $500 as an example. I could have picked $1,000, the return will work out the same - you just need 2 flybuys accounts to do this for the example (so requires a double purchase) - from my reading...

Sorry, I think I may have missed your strategy? or my maths are broken....... Following what I understand is your approach --> $500 Council Bill, paying via Sniip, Buying Cards with AmEx Edge Option 1 = 5 x $100 Cards This gets 5 x 2,000pts (from promotion) + 525 ( for spend) + 1500 Amex points...

I had a similar plan, Virgin Plat, maintain now, soft landing 2026…… 2027 beyond, target Virgin LTG….. got my Virgin statement, crunched the numbers….. cross checked with a Qantas LTG plan….. plan has now changed….. immediate drop of Virgin, full focus on Qantas. These changes have made me...

Definitely think a balance is required. I look to spend about 75% of points earned and bank about 25%. Definitely acknowledge the risk of banking points, but I also see a risk of the point earning opportunities drying up (eg. when you retire, credit card earn opportunities change)

Step 2, should be $5,[email protected]% ($500 is an old offer)

I am guessing the new Forever system will be like existing method and will require the status earn over a rolling basis. So it appears this system will be on a rolling 12 years and 8 months basis. Credits earned outside of the rolling 12 year and 8 months will possibly drop off. Based on COVID...

Interesting? QR's Privilege Club, My Calculator, only shows Avios earn for VA (no QPoints). QF gets both according to calculator.

Brilliant article Matt!!!! Very objective. I am looking forward to the sequel.

Just enough apparently: Volo Toaster - Rose Gold - 6 browning levels - Bagel function - toasts on one side only only 97,270 PTS https://marketplace.qantas.com/au/p/bugatti-volo-toaster-rose-gold/AU100139246 Get in quick!!!!

Yes, Qantas does :)....... but they hate sharing info...... Sydney Airport showing this flight departing at 2pm....... but Sydney Airport, is still is not showing an assigned gate...... which does not sound good for a 2pm departure......

Ditto, has not credited yet.

No way around reg hurdle (cannot incetivise someone to stay) that I am aware of. They can reduce renewal fees out of good will, but not to incentivise you to stay. You can get a Platinum charge card as that is not a credit card, so does not appear to be subject to the same regs.

No, nothing yet, although (based on my maths and the T+Cs) they are not due until 29th Sept (6 weeks from the 18th Aug).

Yes, they had both. Bid is a full AFL VIP package and is still going....... they also had seat only on an instant buy until sold out. These seat only tickets were fixed at 15,000 so very good deal (considering seat only tickets are fully allocated to members only and are $400+).

Still on their website: https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/flying-status/flying-with-status/platinum-membership#accordion-fly-ahead

Just got tickets to 2024 AFL Grand Final through Accor Limitless Experiences for 15,000 Accor Points a ticket........ so definitely some very good reasons to keep your Accor points with Accor.

There is not one that will go to "Any" but a number that will go to "Many". In my view Amex Platinum is the best as it does both Qantas and Velocity....... and then many others - including the ones you mentioned Kris, Singapore, Cathay. Not many/any other card options to get Qantas in the list...
