Saw the same thing this morning when I logged into CBA Netbank. As already mentioned above, the best thing about this card is the free international transaction fee. I've already got a diamond card with CBA thru my mortgage so not really interested in the travel insurance, and the lounge access...

Yes, I have the same thought always, until the agent started to tell me there is no way the 8000 points service fee can be waived. But after a few mins, he told me it will be waived because of its business class booking. Yes, my original post is Tax & other charges with QF award flight on EK vs...

Another update from myself, I chatted to QF online support, and managed to add the return leg by updating the existing booking. It costs only 5k points for the change fee per head (8k points fee waived because booking business class) plus cash of approx $130. Lesson learnt today is always...

OK here is an update of what happened today after online chat with QF support. Basically I am able to add the return leg plus 5000 points for the change fee. I was quoted initially with another 8000 points per head for a service fee, but upon knowing the flight is a business class, the agent...

Hey @renatts, I am in the same position at the moment, and wonder if you had a success in changing this from one way to return?

Now I looked at it again, if I had booked the flight as a return instead of two one-way tickets, the tax would be significantly cheaper (about $250 for one person for 2 flights). This is really making me sad, should I just cancel my original booking and rebook the whole flights as return again...

OK, so I might have to go with CX, not that I don't like CX, but travelling with a 3-year old toddler with reverse herringbone seats is never my preference. I'd actually love the 2-3-2 EK 777, which most people trying to avoid.

Was about to make a booking from DXB - HKG using QF points for 2 Adults and 1 kid of the coming new year. Plenty of availability so on that front all is good. However, just found out there are huge differences between tax and other carrier charges between booking with EK or CX. With EK, it is...

Same, points posted overnight

I've tried to make a mixed class booking today via the mobile website, it stops me from proceeding after entering the traveler's name and info. The error message is "Unfortunately you are currently unable to book via Mobile. Please try again later or visit the Virgin Australia full size...

I've been using this feature of PP card in both Melbourne and Sydney airport numerous times now. It's particularly great when traveling with young toddlers and families we can all (2 cards + 4 guests) dine at a restaurant without paying a cent (well guess I paid the platinum card fee..).

I did this once with my wife while we flew back from Hawaii on a QF flight. We booked economy with separate tickets, and I was able to secure an upgrade before the flight. We checked in normal, and only when entering the aircraft, I let the attendant know that even though my name is on the J...

Sometimes I need to travel with 2 laptops - a 15inch macbook pro and a 13inch macbook pro. The 2 laptops plus a backpack won't leave much room for more carry-ons. Does Qantas consider the weight of laptops included as the 7kg limit or not?

Thanks all for the help, guess bundle it is then. Not flying domestic flight frequently, but I still remember like a few years ago, MEL - SYD flight usually at $99, and only those expensive ones will reach like $129 or so. But these days, seems like everything is doubled or even more... You can...

Hello all, I have a question regarding the '4 eligible flights' to retain QF status. Basically I had flew with QF 3 times now, and my status credit will be more than enough for Gold for another year. However, I am 1 flight short of the minimum 4 requirements. Have an upcoming trip that I need...

I have CBA credit card free with my home loan as well. Apart from the overseas transactions on AMEX, I do use the MasterCard quite often when Amex is not accepted (which is a lot of places, unfortunately, in Australia). I don't really want to have another Master card simply for the points but...

Flew from JFK to LIM last Thursday night and LIM to SCL yesterday, none have posted yet (now local time is Sunday evening).

I booked Easter Island flight a couple months ago for this coming April, and if your dates are right, the fare can be quite cheap if you book via their Chilean site. For a business class return between SCL and IPC, I paid about $700 USD, and this will earn you good Status Credits on QF.

Well, basically the things I value most for my gold benefits is all the 'priorities'. I fly economy half of the times and most of my travel are interantioanl, so priroity check in and boarding is a major benefit to me.

One thing i am curious to know is, did you just call their number and they offer you this points option? or like others reported here that you got an email? I'm in a very similar situation but my expiry is end of Feb. I am nowhere close to retain gold this year, but have quite a few coming trips...
