    New Amex bonus point promos?

    This is no urban myth. A number of members from this site back in 2008/09 made huge gains from a promotion which gave 10k points per every 20 transactions. I didn't have an Amex at the time and thought about jumping on it but was hesitant as I was new to this game. Anyway, several members racked...

    Jetstar Birthday Sale 2011

    Is there any inside word on what is happening with the Jetstar's 8th(?) birthday sale in 2011? I'm sure each year it is around late April early May but haven't seen or heard a thing this year. Normally they have some great 2 for 1 prices and with the way things are at the moment could be...

    Ok...call me crazy...this idea is waaaaaaay out there...how about just booking the cheapest and most reliable flights (excluding Tiger based on the reliability part)? I would love to see a comparison of the tender proposal (actual costs) over 2 years compared to just booking cheapest and most...

    3 Million seats on Air Asia

    Actually, just found the sale you are referring to Alanslegal. The booking period 6-9 August. This is not part of the 3,000,000 seat sale :( Unfortunately there are no Australian ports as part of the 3,000,000 seat sale. Not worth staying up for! :(

    3 Million seats on Air Asia

    I can't see any flights from Australia on their promo page: Welcome to AirAsia.com...now everyone can fly... Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot. It does say at the top "plan your holiday for 2010 from $99AUD one way" but I can't see any more about it?? Alanslegal...any tips? :)

    World's most photographed landmarks

    Well, whilst in NZ just over 18 months ago, the tour guide at the Dunedin Cadbury chocolate factory proudly announced that the Dunedin Railway Station was one of the most photographed buildings in the world. She was quite serious and certainly believed it herself! Still, at least it has...

    QFF direct sweep opt in?

    Ok, I've been putting this off out of principle. I'm a platinum card holder and only need another 30,000 points for another RTW trip. My question, can I opt in to the QFF direct sweep (for the $19 p/a fee) and then opt out in say 2 or 3 months time? Less than 24 hours to go.....oh no, hope...

    JetStar $9 Club

    Hi all I received a survey from Jetstar/an associated market research company. It said it was a 20 minute survey (we all know they normally take a few minutes to complete). Well this one took a good 15 minutes. It asked about flight habits, opinions, loyalty programs and then it went...

    Complimentary Qantas Frequent Flyer Membership

    hehehehe....I probably didn't make it clear what I meant. After this whole tactic by Qantas, I would not have transferred my points there in the first place if I knew this was going to happen (on principle alone). It will be interesting to see just how quickly the QFF program is sold after...

    Complimentary Qantas Frequent Flyer Membership

    Gotta say I'm a little p!ssed at the whole timing of it (personal reasons only). We had just got our QFF balance down to zero and were looking at our next trip and so I thought I would transfer 80,000 points to cover it. I did that and then found Singapore Airlines were a better option for the...

    Citibank Reward Points to QFF

    Ok, so I have been a little lazy and initially scoffed at the thought of being locked into using my points for QFF only. Here is my question, is it an "Opt in now or you can never do it again in the future" or can you "opt in later and transfer any rewards points across"? Hope someone can help!
