We are doing a half day Apt railway trip late October from Queenstown. Unfortunately time won't allow us to do the full trip from Queenstown to Strahan. Thanks to the OP for pointing out the SBS program. I'll be catching up on the SBS on demand app.

My circumstances are similar. In 6 years of retirement I have been successful in a few new cards but it can be hard work. I've been knocked back twice for a St George card and it frustrates the hell out of me because I want those 200,000 sign on bonus points. My credit score is in the 800's...

I could never have too many points. I'm still hopeful of a US trip in 2022 which was to be 2021 except for Covid. I have enough Qantas points for 2 in J one way but struggling to get enough Krisflyer miles for the other half so now have enough time to get those points and start booking a year...

No, in my FB post I said there were no cabin crew around and even so it would be very unlikely that any of my 45 Facebook friends would dob me/them in.

In 2017 I was on an EK A380 in J from Dubai to Auckland on my way back home. It was a 16 hour flight and I was feeling a bit restless so decided to have a couple of drinks at the onboard bar. After a while there was just the cabin crew guy behind the bar and myself. He kindly let me swap...

The Qantas Premier Platinum card is a good one for sign on bonus points and ongoing earn rate of 1:1. I just completed my 6 months sign on bonus for 120,000 points but I think that promotion has finished and another started for less. Only downside is dealing with Citibank who can be stubborn...

+1 and I both have Frequent Shopper cards and have received no information about the change to ER let alone any bonus offers.

Ditto, it got my attention. The more I think about this the more I think Tasmanian's will not be happy about the change given the reduction in points by half. It remains to be seen if the QFF points will offset the reduction.

As a long time Frequent Shopper member (and FF points collector) I don't like it, mainly because the cash back on points will be 50% of what we now enjoy. I still get Qantas or Krisflyer FF points when shopping at Woolworths and BWS anyway using credit cards.

I haven't heard a thing about that. Can you share how you became aware of it? +1 and I are both members of the FF club and nothing has reached my in-box.

Yes, you enter your same password to see and /or download statements. Very strange when you are already logged in.

No worries with Qantas sign on bonuses but I'm ok in that department - its the non Qantas points/miles I'm after.

I'm a fan of Amex cards as they often offer good value, although less than in the past. I currently have a Westpac card that earns 1:1 Krisflyer points (if I convert there). I'm looking to boost my Krisflyer points through a generous sign on bonus offer but Amex are offering very little at the...

Mattg, I think this is the same time (2015) we shared the return flight back to Sydney from Johannesburg. I think you are referring to your outbound trip. This was my one and only 747 flight. It was thanks to you that +1 and I were upstairs and it was most enjoyable. You assisted me to get...

Pre covid 19 I started a strategy to build up as many QF and Krisflyer points as I could for a trip to the US in October 2021 and its on track and I'm hopeful that will still happen given a vaccine should be available by then. If not no trip. Obviously things need to fall into place but atm my...

I applied for this card today and at the end of the application was conditionally approved. ID was done on line (drivers licence, passport and medicare card). I was asked to upload income proof and am waiting for an answer. My only concern might be the minimum income required but there was no...

I love the Spirit trips because they can be fun depending on your outlook. Heading away, getting on board, parking the car, finding your cabin, enjoying a few drinks and eating in one of the eating areas and then sleeping in your cabin (which is smallish but just fine for a short night) is fine...

The Liberal premier of Tasmania is not acting anything like a pro business leader. I live in Hobart and there is a sense of frustration gathering. In the south there have been no new cases of C19 for maybe 6 weeks and about 4 weeks since any active cases. There are 2 active cases in the NW and...

This is part of a reply I got from Qantas Premier CC after refusing to increase my credit limit. I checked all 3 reports and the only information on all of them was for current and cancelled credit cards. The reports also show that I paid every card in full and on time. My score was rated as...

Hoping to fly to Queensland in November for Rod Stewart concert at Sirromet Winery. At this time it's a real guessing game as to it going ahead. Was planning to go to Port Douglas and Townsville after to catch up with family and friends. Apart from concert tickets no other bookings made yet.
