I'm one who has always believed it would over the long term. However the modern philosophy seems to be that the best way to maximize long term profit is by maximizing short term profit.

I'm due in at 1545 so may catch you at the airport.

Sounds good. LynZ may already joining us in our Uber but maybe we can get a maxi. We'll talk firther closer to the event.

I'll wait until it's 20x points :)

I guess that !,000 bonus points on a $50 card is the equivalent of 20x points. But works out to only 10x points on a $100 card. I don't see value in these offers for $100 cards.

So $5 (or 500 QF points) back on a $100 card for a $5.95 fee; tell 'em they're dreaming.

@Gem56 & I are also departing on QF466. Perhaps we can share an Uber to the airport...

I see Vietnam Airways seem to be listed on their site but haven't looked at chances of an upgrade; pity it's now outdated but thanks for the reply.

If phoning, don't mention RTW: that's a different ticket using cash, not points. What you are after is a Oneworld Award and you don't even need to mention this. Just say you want to book some flights using your points. If your itinerary prices at more than the expected 152,200 points, it...

Thanks for the informative article @Mattg . I'm wondering if you find any use for Optiontown these days? (I remember your $32 upgrade to J in Africa a few years ago.)

Not necessarily. +1 transfered some WOW points and didn't receive a message.

Looking forward to your next trip...

When I've had issues I contact my installer who then contacts amber. So far things have been sorted pretty quickly.

Yes I am happy with amber. It takes a few months for the algorithms to get to know your usage patterns. We have a BnB within our property so usage varies greatly depending on whether we have guests or not. Initially I used to override the algorithms when I thought I knew better but now I just...

I have pointed this out previously. It basically rules me out of relying on amex insurance.

That's why I've taken the time to train some of the staff at local watering holes.

Not quite. An old fart pretending to be a cash poor pensioner so he can turn left!

No way! I've "trained" the staff at my local RSL so I can easily spend down to zero. (I don't care what they think; I'm old enough to look like a pensioner so they just nod, knowingly).

WOW, only 95! I'ld go for it. In my case, I need to live to at least 150, even with DSCs.

I believe QF changed that so that they do count, after a lot of bad feed back.
