Apologies if this has been asked before, but how long does it take for SQ flights to credit to Velocity? It is now over a week and nothing posted yet. Thank you in advance.

Thanks - I may need to continue plodding along towards Million Miler status with Delta until I learn simplified Mandarin!

Do you have a link to somewhere on MU's website which provides more details on this?

Taken, enjoy

Looks like the risk of the card being "nabbed" has reduced, reports on the AFR that the sale of the entire retail bank has been abandoned in favour of just selling the loan book...

Their 'international' customer base is probably why Macquarie and ING are looking at them, if they aren't 'nabbed' I suspect those two might try to really cater to that. I remember when HSBC was really ramping in Australia in the early 2000s, they offered decent interest rates on their...

I actually think this has been a long time coming: For a number of decades they were marketing themselves as "The World's Local Bank" and had retail operations in a vast number of countries. This strategy didn't work - another which tried was Citi and they have aggressively retrenched that...

That exact thing could happen soon... AFR reported that HSBC was looking to sell their Australian retail operations in July and had appointed Citi to advise, and in this report from 2 months ago, now NAB is the frontrunner with ING a possibility. Others ruled out because they are too small, too...

Yes, I am basically at an impasse with Qantas Wine and have just emailed the Qantas Privacy officer with those details. I added "Given Qantas' recently demonstrated lax attitude to our personal details, I will NOT send through a copy of my passport and a recent utility bill to someone in the...

It's not the email which is bogus, it's like every other wine order confirmation email I have ever received. The issue is that when I now check on the order when logged into my Qantas account, the delivery date has changed, the tracking order can't be found and it asks me to contact customer...

Because they can't verify me when I call (with the email they sent the confirmation to, my date of birth and my mother's maiden name), they aren't able to bring up the order to do anything. It's Kafka-esque! I have emailed the Qantas Privacy Officer.

Great idea, I will report back if I hear anything.

Agreed, I'm going to write the case off as a loss and avoid Qantas Wine. I'm not going to email any of those personal details because even if it is Qantas, we know how loosey goosey they are with our information.

Has anyone had this happen to them before? I ordered a case of wine on 23 October, and the email received said it would be delivered on 31 October. When I log in to my Qantas account, it says delivery is expected 5 November, which is too late as I will be travelling. When I click on the...

They used the incorrect term. It is a system enhancement.

Hopefully the 3 lavs they have are slightly larger than the ones in the 737s, those require ayurvedic yoga moves to turn around in even for a slim person.

Not yet it would appear. QF is busy devaluing their frequent shopper points without any help from Amex, with the effective disappearance of Classic rewards, the devaluation of the value of points for Classic Plus rewards and the continual reduction in the value of points for Points + Pay, "But...

In the AFR article on the devaluation, the Qantas spokesman demonstrates doctorate level expertise in the political art of dodging the question: “Classic Plus has unlocked millions more reward seats for members and continues to offer some of the best value across the program,” a Qantas...

There is speculation that HSBC Australia is up for sale, but when that happens, who the buyer is and what they will do with the credit card portfolio is up in the air. If NAB buy it, they'll cough it up like they did with their Citi acquisition. Other potential buyers may keep the cards as they are.
