Thanks JohnK for the info. Seems like i'll need to top up every year for about 3 years before i can rack up enough points for a return F to europe. I've been sending my MR to KF too, and I find them easier to book awards through.

What's the transfer rate from Amex MR - SPG - AA ?

HI everyone, i'm thinking of utilising this offer and was wondering whether it is possible to buy 40k miles AND be gifted another 40k miles? If so, wife and I can each buy 40k for ourselves and gift 40k to each other. And get 30k bonus points each on top of it at the end. Is this do-able...

Yes all supplementary card holders (when travelling togerther or on their own) and their immediate families (non-supplementary) who travel togerther with the primary cardholder get insurance coverage. The beauty of the plat charge insurance is that you don't have to purchase anything using it -...

Reminds me of the 3rd movie in the Bourne Series - The Bourne Ultimatum.

Just to add to this...I wonder whether various governments are actually making use and stockpiling classified data on each other from Wikileaks? As much as it is a source of embarrassment, it is also a pretty damn good source of information for them. I wonder whether they have actually leaked...

Assagne may have published ALREADY LEAKED information, as such i think any jurisdiction will find it difficult to pin him on his actions. And I think he was responsible enough to seek the US state department's assistance to vet the information before publishing, in case the information leaked...

Re: Amex - 10,000 bonus points when puchasing HCF/MBF/NIB health insurance Ends 31/12 Try these supplied by Lovestotravel in the first posting. Just checked them and the offer is still available on the sites until December 31:) The MBF one doesn't specify the bonus AMEX points...

You must have lots of kids? Mrs Benhadi and I don't have kids (yet) and we typically spend about $30-$50 a week in woolies/coles/aldi.

Just wondering (as the T&C was not very clear on this), is it $250 or more in one transaction, or coughulative transactions? Makes a big difference. Wonder how often people spend $250 or more in one transaction at woolies?

It says the sale starts on the 27th Oct. ALthough the site is up, when going through the booking process there is no sale price for the few dates that i searched for. Anyone else get an actual sale fare?

Spoke to AMEX yesterday. Apparently all existing Plat Credit holders who had it as a companion card to the Platinum Charge, have been automatically rolled over to the Reserve card. I asked them "what I am gonna do with 2 Priority Pass memberships? Can I give one to my supplementay?". After a...

Same experience in the last few weeks. I was told by Citibank that it will take up to 5 weeks. Pleasantly surprised when it arrived a few days later. AMEX has always been consistent, no longer than 3 working days. That only applies to AU issued card though.

haydensydney - the 4* i stayed in was Novotel Benoa, which, looking at the website photos, is a pretty accurate reflection of what it looks like in real life. Beaches were nothing great (compared to the ones you get here in aussie). I would say the quality beats most 4* here hands down. But...

How do you get PC Platinum with AMEX? I thought you only get PC Gold with Amex Platinum Charge. Went to Bali last yr, was off peak and in GFC, managed to get some really cheap deals in 4* for <AUD$50 per night which i thought was crazy. Not sure if you can still find them, but i would suggest...

Yes i was aware of the previous thread, was hoping for a bigger sample size that's all. But i have to say, the SE530 is half the price of a QC3. So if the sound and noise-isolation is "as good as" the bose, it's really a no brainer for me. Might get one after all.

Is it really that good? Comapred to a Bose QC3/QC15? I know it's a different product altogether as it is in-ear, just wondering whether the sound quality and noise isolation matches (or beats) the Bose. Can't try it out anywhere, that's the problem. So would need to rely on other people's...

I've had the ultimate card for several years now. My experience is that ANY spend on Qantas (Australia) "activates" it. Basically when you call to redeem, AMEX will look through your statement and "spend" on Qantas manually. On my statements, any spend on Qantas (Aus) will display as "Qantas...

What a teaser! You'll be shifting the "problem" to them instead!

What kind of rewards/programmes are you referring to?
