    Citi Prestige Bonus Point Offers & Discussion

    I would've thought "Credit card applications must be submitted on or before this date [14 September 2025] and approved by 30 September 2025." was pretty clear. At any rate, while you're welcome to wait after 14 September, I'll have one last crack at a Citi card before then. Given that NAB...

    Citi Premier Sign-Up Bonus Offers & Discussion

    The exact wording is "Offer ends 14 September 2025. Credit card applications must be submitted on or before this date and approved by 30 September 2025. Balance Transfer requests must be processed (transferred) by 30 October 2025. " While there's an 'out' enabling extension of the offers...

    Qantas - Emirates Award flight Discussion

    Yup - I was poking around Aeroplan and there are plenty of F awards from DXB to North America that no longer show on Qantas (they were showing before the devaluation). One example - DXB-YYZ on 30 September in F. Two seats available on Aeroplan but none on Qantas. So it appears we have a...

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    A few big shops last time have bumped my 4 week spend from $60 to $90, so will pass this time. A few smaller shops should reset the algorithm.

    Citi Prestige Bonus Point Offers & Discussion

    Looks like NAB are closing applications after 14 September, so if you want a Prestige card, now's the time.

    Citi Premier Sign-Up Bonus Offers & Discussion

    Anyone wanting a Citi Premier (or other Citi card) should get their application in soon-ish. It seems that NAB is closing applications after 14 September.

    Citi Ready Credit - 70k Velocity points with $500 balance transfer

    Applied - 3 July Approved - 7 July Activated - 11 July $5k transferred - 14 July Email received - 14 August Thanks for this - it gives me comfort that if I give my number late in September, the points won't hit until November (when my new membership year starts).

    Citi Ready Credit - 70k Velocity points with $500 balance transfer

    Email from Citibank asking for my QFF number arrived today. Will hold fire until the end of September to maximise my likelihood that the points hit in my new membership year (starting 1 November).

    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    Yup. See: https://help.accorplus.com/hc/en-au/articles/49242699057177-What-happened-to-Accor-Plus-Explorer-and-Traveller-and-Discovery (The email to me announcing the change indicated I could keep platinum but only if I renewed before 1 October.) So if anyone is not a member of A+ and has at...

    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    Assuming you have 10 status nights up, and you've renewed A+ by 30 September (giving you 20 nights), you should get platinum next year as an additional 30 nights will lob in on 1 October. Or don't you have 10 nights at the moment? (I do feel for the people whose renewals are in October to...

    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    You’re ‘Accor Plus platinum’ now. You’ll drop to ‘Accor Plus gold’ on 1 January unless you have 60 nights up on 31 December 2025.

    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    Dairyfloss's post was in 2023 and under the old T&Cs. The new T&Cs mean this operates differently, and the old 'best of the last two years' rule dies on 1 October. When 31 December rolls around, they'll look solely at how many nights you accrued in 2025 to determine 2026's status. Unless you...

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    $110 for 2000 points. A few big spends on booze in the recent 4x$60/10K offer means the algorithm now has the wrong idea. I’ll need to do a couple of $20-$30 shops to reset it.

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    Funnily enough, I've just done this. Would rather have 2 x 1 free night in a two night booking than a free night. But I digress... No Sofitel availability on 27 Sept. Sofitel Wentworth is available on 4 Oct.

    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    I'm not sure that's right as Accor status is determined by calendar year. My understanding of the status is that post 1 October 2025, status in 2026 will solely be determined by what is achieved in 2025. At least this is what Schedule 1 to the new T&Cs suggests (there's nothing suggesting...

    WP moving to US, maintain status or move to AA?

    If you fly a lot of domestic routes, WP on QF will get you lounge access in Admirals Clubs and Alaska Airlines lounges.

    Skyteam Kenya Airways Status Match

    If you're Qantas SG, the Kenya Airlines program allows you to get SkyTeam Elite Plus, unlike the VN offer which requires WP. Something to bear in mind.
