I have complimentary Altitude Black from a loan I have with Westpac. The loan is in joint names but obviously the credit card has to have a primary cardholder, which is currently me. I'd like to switch this to my wife (pretty much just so I can get the complimentary Priority Pass in her name...

When I originally signed up for the Altitude Black I received the SPG Gold privilege which I foolishly activated straight away. However, it's been over a year now and it's since lapsed. Does anybody know if this is an ongoing thing or just a once off? I rang on SPG to get my account...

Does anybody else have issues with the Wifi specifically in Virgin Lounges? Have experienced this in BNE, SYD, MEL and CAN... on my Macbook Pro (2014) it keeps dropping out every 3-4 minutes. Have tried to work through it with Virgin but they only know to go through the paces: "Is your wifi...

I was hoping to use Krisflyer miles to redeem a direct flight from SYD -> ICN on Asiana (~12 hours vs 26+ hours with Singapore stopover), but when I called up to make the partner booking the rep said that some airlines don't accept award bookings for direct flights. I'm quite the n00b at all...

Just out of curiosity, I thought the redemption rate for Citibank Signature was 1:1 Citi to Velocity/Krisflyer. But when I went to check this recently the site says the following: When did this happen (I know, I know, September 2013 LOL). All the folks going on about the fee-free for life...

Here's the situation: my wife and I would like to take our baby son to visit the in-laws in Belgium during my company Christmas shutdown period at the end of this year. My parents would also like to tag along. We are in Sydney, my parents are in Adelaide. Just trying to figure out what the best...

I have the Altitude Black combo card, and noticed that the Amex still doesn't have a chip. What's going to happen after August when chip and pin will be required? Has anybody received a replacement card from Westpac?

More out of curiosity than anything, but just wondering why EDR is still in its own forum whereas Fly Buys has been moved into a sub-topic of Shopping Reward Programs alongside Myer One?

Just wondering whether anybody knows if it's possible to get points tranferred between cards/accounts? I currently have a bunch of points associated with an Altitude Platinum card, but also have Altitude Black associated with the same Rewards account. I intend to cancel the Platinum cards, so...

I recently got the Platinum Edge card, so excuse me if this is a n00b question: I've made some spends at both Coles and Woolworths stores, but checking my reward points balance I only received 1pt/$ and not the 3pt/$ supposedly on offer for major supermarkets? Are they bonus points that get...

The other day I got the notice that because I have no points on my account and have not had for a while, they were going to close my account and if I want to use KF I'd have to sign up for a new account. Just out of interest, why would they do this? I understand that the points would expire...

About a month ago I took up the free upgrade offer from Citibank Gold to Citibank Rewards Platinum. Rah rah when I got the new card I have to register with Citibank Online to check my transactions etc. Forgot to do this until recently, when I suddenly realise that I haven't, and went to the URL...

This will be my 2nd time to Paris, and last time we were travelling on budget but still really enjoyed the food. My personal favourite was the La Vieux Bistro next to the Notre Dame. Amazing traditional food and huge portions - the mains were MASSIVE, and came with a side of baked potatoes which...

I currently have the Westpac Altitude Platinum card, and figured that I don't value "reward products" as much as do flights, which is why I'm considering changing to one of the direct sweep cards. So the choice really comes down to Qantas vs Singapore Airlines. My wife and I both definitely...

I've currently got around $7k+ on Westpac Altitude Platinum, accumulated during some "difficult circumstances". In theory, I should be able to pay this off in 6 - 12 months, so therefore I'd like to try and find a good deal on a balance transfer. If it's any help, here are my current holdings...

A quick question: if I wanted to pay off my Altitude card using BPay, what would be the biller code and reference number? I'm at work and all my statements are at home, but I'd like to get this done sooner rather than later.

Out of interest, would I be able to submit a retroactive claim for miles, for a flight that I took as part of a tour package? I flew with Asiana between Hong Kong and Korea.. um, not sure what other details I'd need to provide. I'm already aware of the claim process, but just want to know if...

Saw this over on OzBargain: http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/FU/popup/715035/Visabooklet_Korea_2009_eng.pdf I'm going to Korea in November, but was going to use my Wizard Mastercard instead of Visa, but if the discount is compelling enough I might have to whip out one of my Visas :-)

I recently put through some orders charged to my credit card, only to later have to cancel them and have the charges reversed. Obviously the points were also revoked. I'm just curious to know this about the situation: As a merchant, when you reverse a transaction, do you (a) still get charged...

Has anybody ever tried asking for their billing cycle to be changed? I know it sounds frivolous, but I currently have a set up where Westpac automatically deducts the full balance from my savings account at the end of each month. The savings account is also an offset account for my loan, and...
