Yes, this is an obscure unwritten (until now) interpretation of clause five of the AFF general rules, which requires that we "respect your fellow members", so I took that to mean straw polls were binding (as a demonstrated sign respect) 🤣........... but seriously, if you can have fun, do it...

As this was a straw poll, I am assuming Deja will honour the poll...... so it sounds like only we can decide :) I vote upgrade :)

Maybe they have grandfathered?...... This notification has not been sent to card holders and is only on their card application page...... Their important notices page (accessible from the bottom of their home page), does not say anything anout changes: Important Notices | Latest Information -...

......and interesting to see their obligation in respect to informing their customers of this change: "Changes to fees and charges''....."that are not favourable to you"....."we’ll tell you by writing to you or by publishing in a notice." it looks like their job is done, notice has been...

Correct,. Carbon offset needs to purchased against an existing booking…… it does not have to be your own booking though. Any family of friends booking can be used to make this spend with your card

Yes, I have used the purchase of an offset (about 3 months ago) and it was my only Qantas spend and my Westpac lounge passes were triggered.

To my close associates at our Australian Frequent Flyer Community, I have the following referral for the American Express® Platinum Card: You will receive 275,000 Membership Rewards points (usually 150,000) if you apply for the American Express® Platinum Card, are approved and spend $5,000 in...

Guessing it may have been a couple of years since you have been there (when they had the adults only pool). They changed their market to Adults Only recently....... Their policy page (Policies - The Reef House Adults Retreat) shows: "No Children policy under 16 years of age - The Reef House is...

Qantas appears to have already been loaded with classic reward availability - 1xJ and 7xY on most (maybe all) days.

Did not feel packed to us (Peppers felt more packed to me). The veranda rooms gave a nice open space (we did stay over Christmas as well). We were Diamond when we stayed some years back now (before it became adults only). Back then we got welcome drinks and free breakfast...... I believe that is...

Key to enjoying the Cairns heat, pick somewhere close to the ocean - wonderful afternoon sea breeze...... it just does not penetrate much further inland than a couple 100m.

My pick for the area and your criteria would be Accor - The Reef House Retreat in Palm Cove. Accommodation is great and their complementary inclusions are great. Really great food options in Palm Cove...... it does miss your beach avoidance request, but the beach does not interfere with the...

To compare a return on your investment, I believe we should look at a fixed investment. I just choose $500 as an example. I could have picked $1,000, the return will work out the same - you just need 2 flybuys accounts to do this for the example (so requires a double purchase) - from my reading...

Sorry, I think I may have missed your strategy? or my maths are broken....... Following what I understand is your approach --> $500 Council Bill, paying via Sniip, Buying Cards with AmEx Edge Option 1 = 5 x $100 Cards This gets 5 x 2,000pts (from promotion) + 525 ( for spend) + 1500 Amex points...

I had a similar plan, Virgin Plat, maintain now, soft landing 2026…… 2027 beyond, target Virgin LTG….. got my Virgin statement, crunched the numbers….. cross checked with a Qantas LTG plan….. plan has now changed….. immediate drop of Virgin, full focus on Qantas. These changes have made me...

Definitely think a balance is required. I look to spend about 75% of points earned and bank about 25%. Definitely acknowledge the risk of banking points, but I also see a risk of the point earning opportunities drying up (eg. when you retire, credit card earn opportunities change)

Step 2, should be $5,[email protected]% ($500 is an old offer)

I am guessing the new Forever system will be like existing method and will require the status earn over a rolling basis. So it appears this system will be on a rolling 12 years and 8 months basis. Credits earned outside of the rolling 12 year and 8 months will possibly drop off. Based on COVID...

Interesting? QR's Privilege Club, My Calculator, only shows Avios earn for VA (no QPoints). QF gets both according to calculator.

Brilliant article Matt!!!! Very objective. I am looking forward to the sequel.
