Singapore Airlines - 4000 / 200

For Aussie cards I use Macquarie (MC) and ING (Visa). I concur with @SYD re moving exchange rates. For UK cards I use First Direct (MC).

I just transferred 47k to my BA account and the rate was 2 - 1 and the avios arrived instantly.

Yes. The booking shows in the app. Stupid me thought there would be some consistency between Qantas app and Qantas website. I should have know better.

In my experience Red Energy points post on the second Sunday after you have paid but backdated to the previous Friday. For example I paid on 04/12, points credited on Sunday 14/12 but with a value date of 12/12. I have checked my last 3 payments and they have all followed this pattern.

Booked a CX return for Mrs SS in J on Trip.com (saved A$1400) and entered QF number at time of booking and selected seats. Mrs SS is SG. Checked booking on CX website - QF number and seat allocations all on booking. However booking does not seem to be linked to Mrs SS Qantas account as it does...

Let us not single out industry super funds. I don’t like it where companies like Qantas and ANZ and Westpac and CBA , etc get fined and shareholders pay the fines rather than the CEO and the directors.

BA competent? An astonishingly low bar indeed.

I have been with the same industry super balanced fund for 20 years and it has served me very well. I won’t be moving into an smsf anytime soon.

Air NZ - 800 / 80

What if your DNA test comes back saying you are a certain percentage American? Do you get automatic Green Card? :D

In my experience Qantas simply does not do proactive compensation. Three times in the last 20 or so years I have been told I would receive compensation for various issues but on each occasion nothing occurred until I formally complained.

I certainly agree with that. Mrs SS flew on BA15 on 19 November and points and scs posted on 21/11. I flew on same flight as AY codeshare and 3 weeks later I am still waiting. 🙁

Birthplace of parents?? What if you don't know? Mine died a long time ago. I know which country they were born in but beyond that I have no idea.

Just revisiting this as need to book a business domestic flight for Mrs SS. Are these still fully refundable? To the statement 'if you cancel for a refund' in the table there is a green tick but also an asterisk; *No fees apply where you are entitled to a refund or alternative flight under the...

Just booked Mrs SS SYD - HKG - YYZ return on CX to attend a medical conference early next year. The SS household is avoiding the US where possible.

My bolding - it depends. Certainly not the case if you left in the 1980s as per @Brissy1 post.
