    HSBC also has that option but charge a fee of $2.95 to use it, so beware!

    Gift Cards at Supermarkets

    Thanks Coops for your full explanation. Now I've got it! I notice that most people are using Platinum Edge which gives 3:1 for purchases of the $88 card (if not their existing supply of discounted Wish cards.) i use the Amex David Jones card which isn't often mentioned. Annual fee only $99...

    Gift Cards at Supermarkets

    Bought some $88 cards today from Mona Vale. Plenty available on the stand. I must be a bit slow (and I have been following the thread for the last dozen pages or more) but how and where do you buy Wish cards with 20% off. Presumably you then use or attempt to use the card to buy new gift cards...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Just joined this thread. With these offers, buying gift cards is excluded, but if they are included as purchases with other items, has anyone had any experience of them being accepted?

    Gift Cards at Supermarkets

    I've also posted this on the David Jones/Amex thread. Does anyone know if buying a Gift Card from Coles counts towards receiving reward points on the DJs/Amex card that can be converted to Qantas FF. For example if I was to buy a card for $1000, would this be counted as a supermarket purchase...

    David Jones AMEX - 22,500 Qantas points - excellent ongoing Qantas / SPG earn

    Does anyone know if buying a Gift Card from Coles counts towards receiving reward points that can be converted to Qantas FF. For example if I was to buy a card for $1000, would this be counted as a supermarket purchase, as I believe that on the monthly statement it may not show up as a Coles...

    Hotel Promotions Hilton Honors Promotions

    Re: HHonors Promotions Can someone clarify for me how to interpret the 5000 points bonus offer for reservations made using the app before January 31st. Does this mean that the offer only applies to stays taking place before that date, or does it mean that the reservation itself for dates...

    Be Ever Vigilant![Awards cancelled as QF fails to re-ticket in time]

    Re: Be Vigilant![Awards cancelled, QF fails to re-ticket] Had a problem with an original (not an amended) booking made over the phone because the website wouldn't allow it. It involved QF flights leaving and returning to Australia, all the other flights being on EK. Just by chance, I checked my...

    Can recommend the Renaissance in Amsterdam, part of the Marriott Group. Good central location just 5 minutes by foot from the Central railway station. Clean, modern, you can't go wrong. Check out the reviews on Tripadvisor.

    Citibank 70,000 QFF points $149 annual fee first year 0% BT for 6 months

    Had the same problem. Credited my points to their rewards programme for first month. Phoned and after a bit of a tussle, they remedied it and transferred them to Qantas. Even though I gave them my FF No. on applying for the card, apparently, you still have to phone them to choose the Qantas...

    Citibank 70,000 QFF points $149 annual fee first year 0% BT for 6 months

    Has anyone looked in detail at the definition of "eligible" payments. I believe it excludes payments to Government and the ATO and that this could also exclude rates payments and payments to Government owned authorities like Sydney Water. It also excludes payment of insurance premiums - car...
