Unfortunately some businesses have a short term view of charging for credit cards fees. Do they honestly think that customers will pay by cash? And if so, would they want us to pay them thousands of dollars for the rooms. They could easily have a staff steal under the till or get robbed and the...

Gotta say that I love reading this thread. Arent we all human. First mistake was on my first trip to US, when AUD$1=US$0.45. It sucks when you can only afford half the stuff. Landing in Washington DC at 8pm. Waiting for my uncle to pick me up at airport. He finishes work at 10pm but I...

Never heard of such a thing. Were there clear signage as to the credit card surcharges? Name and shame?

Use promo code "celebrate" and get 15% off. Book before 31st dec midnight. Unfortunately only works for certain hotels, but they display which hotels qualify.

Do we really need to eat on a 90 minute flight? Is it any wonder why the western world is overweight. Just water would be fine for me. Flight attendents will have difficult rolling out the food to everyone in time and then collecting the waste.

Got my card Nov 25. Dec 8th credited 20,000 points. Haven't spent $5000 yet but received my lounge passes Dec 16th. Pretty lucky haven't had to phone up customer service to chase up.

Big supermarkets didnt get rich by agreeing to something against their interests. You can easily work around the new law by offering the 4c off more frequently. Eg on $15 spend, get 4c off. Or 4c off fuel when you buy $1 bread :)

It doesnt look good on your credit record when you get rejected loan/card applications

Hi I have booked rooms in Mar 2014, should I enter bonus codes now? Or should I wait till closer to the date? Do the bonuses aply at check in? Or at room booking? Couldnt find info on the websites.

This is a perfect case study for customer service training. So many things went wrong, one thing snowballs into major problem. Its a culture any company need to develop from day 1, that customers need to be treated like you would like to be treated. Very simple but easily forgotten when you have...

BIG loyalty costs 5MYR annually. Points do expire after 2 years. You can generally redeem flights cheaply from kuala lumpur to neighbouring countries for a few thousand big points, or use them on cheap 3* hotels. Its a low cost reward program from an LCC. A flight return from SYD to KL should...

Same here. Credit limit is just inviting me to spend over my maximum. Its about a fifth of what I earn annually. They asked for my tax assessment notice, was approved and sent card in under 2 weeks. Said qff points will be in account in 60 days and lounge passes in 6 weeks. So far so good. Now...

re: Qantas Cash Card Hopefully puts pressure on big 4 banks to lower their bloody international ATM fees. Who still pays ATM fees in Oz?

Woolworths has a promo offer on gift cards this week, but without the wish cards. Save 20c off fuel when purchasing David jones, Diva, red balloon, best restaurants, good food guide, skype, hoyts, dymocks, isubscribe. It doesnt interest me too much, apart from a nice meal at posh restaurant...

Start with gold (free annual fee) and you will find they upgrade in a few months if you spend well. You will find that many smaller places dont accept amex, so your spending of $1000-$1200, maybe only half of it can be put on Amex. For your spending, the rewards would be outweighed by cost of...

This might sound like a silly question, but are the 2x free QF club lounges transferable to a friend or family member?

The irony of a big global player helping the little guy. A small bribe helps us ignore the fact :)

No overseas ATM fees are a bonus. Great for small cash amounts.

Just a bonus for citi customers when dining at nice restaurants/shops they offer 10-20% off the bill. Sometimes Citibank customers also get a "rebate" (more like a discount) off their purchase. That's my experience in Malaysia. I'm a citi signature user. Had problems before with Amex blocking my...

Thanks docjames for the great tip!
