SYD-DFW-SYD for non-school-holiday period. A9 / I9 on both flights for 1x pax. Business declined; First approved.

So it's okay for Amex to maximise their profit but it's 'abhorrent' for churners to maximise their profit?

Whether you like it or not, people will game systems. That is the nature of humans. You're never going to be able to stop it. Indeed, there are people gaming Amex way, way harder than Dr Ralph. They just don't disclose what they're doing in public forums.

This could be very attractive depending on points pricing. Nice to see more high end points hotels coming to Aus.

If you still have an active UK bank account, I'd submit that as proof of address and an Australian bank account with any form of incoming payment. No guarantees, but you could be surprised at how lax these processes are.

You can still use the website (rather than the app) on your phone if that makes a difference.

The end of row 4 for free for WPs then?

All coming from EK's end, so not much QF can do about it but comply.

Unless you can get a US credit card, your best bet is probably purchasing them when on sale.

I've never encountered an issue, though best practice is prob for each person to have a separate number as they do get reported to the credit bureaus.

AI is nothing like Pepper/Fluz. AI is a buyer of GCs — Pepper/Fluz are sellers of them. And yes, AI is a very well-known buyer. You can join their Telegram channels to get a sense of the community and some tips on how they operate.

If you needed about 400K QFF to be in the top 1% of earners and QFF has 17.6M members that earned 222 billion points last year, that means.... The top 1% of earners earned at least 70 billion QFF, or roughly 31% of all points earned in the last year. And probably much more as there will be...

Early punters scored an amazing deal. No doubt this pricing error will be fixed before long.

https://frequentmiler.com/setting-up-a-business-easier-than-you-might-expect/ 200K is the lowest offer on that card atm. It can go as high as 300K if you are persistent in trying the offer page from different IPs/browsers.
