    Hong Kong Airlines - Virgin Australia Partnership

    That makes sense. I recently volunteered at a film festival in Sydney, and one of my roles was to sell raffle tickets. I would approach cinema goers and say "Would you like to get a ticket? On top of supporting us which is a non profit, you could be flying [insert a US flag carrier here] to...

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    "My understanding is that Hong Kong Airlines uses “Z” class for Business Class award inventory, and “R” class for Economy." Looking at the Dec 20, I can see "Z9" and "R5", so they are available? (oh, but this is coming back to Australia, not going there ... )

    Hong Kong Airlines - Virgin Australia Partnership

    "From 17 June 2025, Velocity members can redeem Points for flights across the Hong Kong Airlines network." Cool. So how do I check availability? "Reward Seats on Hong Kong Airlines must be booked through our Membership Contact Centre. Please note available travel dates will vary for each route...

    New Amex statement credits

    Yes, I did see that, and I was only talking about that. I didn't mean anyone specific in that sense.

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    How come you get $32.11, but not when I open the web page? ...... Every 10 minutes to the city, but only hourly to the south east, which is why I took 901 + train even though I was tight with time.

    New Amex statement credits

    So that also doesn't make sense. If you got $20 off, you got $20 off? If you pay $180 for a $200 gift card, you got $20 of free money? If you use the Special card to buy another gift card, that's a separate issue. Also, you don't need to buy another gift card when there is a purchase fee, you...

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    Agoda is actually the second most expensive at the moment. Skybus is doing $19.9 one way or $35 return Agoda is doing $22.12 one way or $37.04 return NRMA is doing $20.91 one way or $35.02 return RACV is doing $22.14 one way or $37.08 one way Is this still the case? I know this used to be...

    New Amex statement credits

    Why $14? Special card promo is $20 back. And you can use the Woolworths from Special for anything, including top up Opal card, which would be $20 off.

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    You can top up using the myki app. It uses the NFC in your phone to write the money into your myki card. Or, you can just use the myki card generated by Google Wallet.

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    I would say, more likely that people were just free loading and not actually buying anything in DFO. Had to go from airport to south east Melbourne yesterday, and honestly, taking bus 901 to Broadmeadow, then train into city then continue down south only took 0 to 30 minutes longer than taking...

    AMEX Delicious Month Out: 20% back on dining - May 2025

    The actual credit / refund can take a week, it's very slow. E-mail usually arrives like 5 to 10 minutes after paying, that's how I work out if a shop is giving me the credit. If you are not getting e-mail, then you are not getting any credit / cash back. Correct, I still have this listed on...

    Paying rent with Amex

    I have the same problem with one of my strata bills, which is blocked by Sniip; so I use Yak Pay instead. I do AmEx > Coles prepaid Mastercard > Yak Pay. Buy Coles Mastercard when they are on special so that they would cost you nothing, then you would only need to pay Yak Pay service fee...

    Citi Prestige Bonus Point Offers & Discussion

    No, I didn't even log in. Right where you took that screenshot, below is "Conversion Rate", and you swipe left like how you swipe left on Tinder / Hinge, you would then see the options for Prestige.

    Credit Card Offers Suncorp Clear Options Platinum Discussion [not offered to new customers from 9/6/25]

    The only thing I could see is: "Existing Suncorp Bank Credit Cardholders are not eligible to apply for introductory offers. Introductory credit card offers are not available in conjunction with a Home Package Plus package or any other offer." Looks like you are good to go

    Credit Card Offers Suncorp Clear Options Platinum Discussion [not offered to new customers from 9/6/25]

    And also Suncorp sold their banking business to ANZ. To me, the impact of Suncorp Bank being sold to ANZ is a lot more serious. Suncorp is the only bank I actually like, because of their customer service level and generally competitive pricing. All the reasonably good banks are gone, leaving us...
