Aha! I was WP for several years up to 2008 when I changed jobs and work-funded travel came to a thundering halt. My days of being WP are well and truly over. I have occasionally been SG since and will again in February when I will trigger SG / LTG / LOWS on the same flight. I have been a BFOD...

I have as much chance of being the first Australian on Mars or winning the Nobel Peace Prize as I do of achieving Lifetime Platinum so going forward status credits are pretty worthless. I cannot achieve PC organically. The only reason I got there at all was because of the very generous Citi...

Yes and Yes

Mrs SS Received first statement on 09/12 on the new system but no sign of any Qantas points in her QF account yet. She has MyCard Premier Qantas account. Is it really taking this long or time to escalate?

I have made my donation to Ozharvest with the 20% discount. How long does the green leaf take to sprout?

Taiwanese version of Japanese Suica card. Smartcard foy paying for buses, trains, etc.. that can also be used in convenience stores.

No it doesn't refute - it is just another data point. Just because you had a good experience of a codeshare flight being credited in good time it doesn't invalidate the experiences of those for whom they did not. I am still waiting on a codeshare flight from 34 days ago to post.

Best of luck for your next endeavour @Mattg. You certainly put Kazakhstan and Air Astana on my map!

Singapore Airlines - 4000 / 200

For Aussie cards I use Macquarie (MC) and ING (Visa). I concur with @SYD re moving exchange rates. For UK cards I use First Direct (MC).

I just transferred 47k to my BA account and the rate was 2 - 1 and the avios arrived instantly.

Yes. The booking shows in the app. Stupid me thought there would be some consistency between Qantas app and Qantas website. I should have know better.

In my experience Red Energy points post on the second Sunday after you have paid but backdated to the previous Friday. For example I paid on 04/12, points credited on Sunday 14/12 but with a value date of 12/12. I have checked my last 3 payments and they have all followed this pattern.

Booked a CX return for Mrs SS in J on Trip.com (saved A$1400) and entered QF number at time of booking and selected seats. Mrs SS is SG. Checked booking on CX website - QF number and seat allocations all on booking. However booking does not seem to be linked to Mrs SS Qantas account as it does...

Let us not single out industry super funds. I don’t like it where companies like Qantas and ANZ and Westpac and CBA , etc get fined and shareholders pay the fines rather than the CEO and the directors.

BA competent? An astonishingly low bar indeed.

I have been with the same industry super balanced fund for 20 years and it has served me very well. I won’t be moving into an smsf anytime soon.

Air NZ - 800 / 80
