If that was of any concern to them, they'd remove all high value GCs and the pre-paid visa/mastercards from the shelves altogether, especially the $1000 ones from Officeworks, rather than just randomly hand out a flyer or limit them to five per account per day (my family has just four accounts)...

No longer than 15mins at a guess. The receipt was nearly 1m long. With hindsight, I could have saved some time if I'd prepared by opening and scratching off the silver panels beforehand. I went in not long before closing on a Saturday hoping that it would be 'quiet' but no idea, nor a lot of...

A few contentious and biased comments in there Poochie. Just yesterday, I split my bill at Coles across 6 cards and three payment types: a e-gift card, a credit card and four pre-paid credit/eftpos cards. A week ago, I paid $1200 at Office works using 18 x $50 third-party GCs, 1 x $e-gift...

Last week I was offered 4000pts for $200 spend. Activated it but didn't complete. A bridge too far relative current multi-week spends with much lower spends at both Woolies and Coles. This week it's 1700 points for $200 spend. Feels like I'm being punished or they're playing a very different...

Most? Maybe I need to get out more, but I've never had an issue with tossing down a few cards and asking them to spread the cost evenly. Separate bills on the other hand..... "I only had an entre sized meal, desert and didn't drink any of the wine" Back OT, I was at Manly Wharf last weekend...

I think we can all be sure that the reason for Dr Ralph's rejection, even if it hasn't been specifically acknowledged by Amex, is the number of credit hits from other providers. In relation to receiving or earning sign-up points, Amex have put time limits in place for "new" applications which...

Amazed that they even got going. It's funny because it's true.

No-one else misses out if Dr Ralph gets or does not get another Amex card so your analogy isn't particularly apt. You must not be one who has multiple Flybuys or EDR accounts, or signs up to or changes energy or internet or health insurance providers whenever there's a better deal elsewhere...

I loaded a partially used yellow $250 Coles Mastercard GC into my Paypal and made it my "preferred" card. A one-off payment to Amaysim and a recurring payment to SMH subscription ended up being charged to an Amex card also held on file. I'm not a gambler so this randomness is somewhat annoying.

I'm not affected by this issue but I do love it when life imitates art. This is spectacularly accurate and hilariously British.

There's an increase in work for sure but the need to work through the night is mainly due to time zone differences. So, yep, quite sensationalist. Got to get them clicks.

How is it that a big spender isn't profitable for Amex? The cost of points/rewards/cashback comes out of the revenue/profit. Who is it they want?

I suspect there is such subsidies from somewhere but that didn't stop Batik from pulling services after just four months. Maybe the scheduling and not-Batik Air factors will give it more legs. I'm quite interested in this as I'm in CBR and my company has just initiated a "work remotely away...

They've been pretty efficient at lowering my status for the last couple of years. I didn't make PC in 2024 so was dropped to 5-star. They did send an email with a three rental challenge in three months to go back to PC but I managed only two. I didn't make 5-star last year and have just...

Were you trying to use both visits on the same PP for two different people? If so, I don't think that one of the visits can be used for a guest of the card holder uses a visit at the same time. That's what happened to me. I used one visit and my card was charged for the guest, leaving one...

Two statements in and no sign of any fee on my FFFL card. Ask no questions and they'll tell you no lies I guess.

Possibly. I showed up at ROK for a GLT-BNE flight once. When you do lots of mining projects and seem to fly in/out of a different airport each time, it's worth checking your flight details before leaving site.

It's interesting that musicians make SFA for specifically-requested streams on Spotify and yet youtubers seem to make worthwhile money uploading content that many don't specifically go looking for and just randomly stumble or scroll across.

I got Meredith Goats Cheese. By far the best freebie yet.

This no "tea/coffee" on short flights is a cop out and is trash. CBR-MEL subjected to it. :mad:
