    Card Promotions New ANZ Frequent Flyer Black 110,000 points & $100 back

    I understand that ANZ don't give points for ATO payments, however are ATO payments regarded as qualifying spend for the sign-up bonus for the ANZ Black?

    Forced account closure

    Something similar happened to a friend in January. They were approved for the Business Platinum in October 2022. Hit the $12k sign-up bonus by December. In January bought a $15k used car for his business (from a dealer who accepted AMEX and did not charge a surcharge for it). Next day went to...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I can confirm that 10 days after the card has been issued you are able to request a replacement (not 10 days after expected arrival). I'm in WA and it usually takes around 1 week to get to me (I didn't keep a record of the exact dates).

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    In my experience the card usually ends up in the suite, but it can take 2-3 extra weeks. Perhaps they have a different process for sorting mail v packages? I just wait 10 days and then request for the card to be sent to Australia.

    When is the last chance to cancel an award online?

    Hi all, I have an award booking coming up and there's a chance I won't know whether I am travelling or not until 90 mins or so before departure. Hopefully I know before then, however I may not... Does anybody know the last opportunity to cancel an award online? Is the 24 hours before...

    Has dynamic pricing arrived for QFF Awards?

    Yes, that's exactly what's happening. I thought last year they all priced at 57,000. Does anybody else have experience with this type of pricing? Is is a relatively new thing?

    Has dynamic pricing arrived for QFF Awards?

    Looking at flights from Perth to Hamilton Island in November and noticed something that doesn't seem quite right. Searching on 11 NOV 22 from PER-HTI brings up some flights at the regular classic award economy rate of 20,300 points (Zone 4) while others are showing as 36,000 (an amount that...

    Downgrading Australian Personal Platinum Amex

    I found it on the statement. Thanks for the tip! It posted last month and I've already used it (when I was using it I thought it was last years credit I was using).

    Downgrading Australian Personal Platinum Amex

    Thanks Ade. Interestingly, the travel credit isn't showing in my account even though the annual fee posted last week. Does anybody know how long it usually takes for the travel credit to post after the annual fee appears on the statement?

    Downgrading Australian Personal Platinum Amex

    Hi All, I'm considering downgrading my Australian Amex Personal Platinum as I don't want to pay the $1450 fee. I called and asked about retention bonuses but was offered nada. The person I spoke to (was in Australia) and said that I would receive a refund of the annual fee if I cancelled or...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I have just received the letter from the IRS confirming they have issued me with an ITIN. I would like to apply for a card from Chase or Citi - should I try this now, or do I first need to apply for another AMEX card to get my ITIN associated with my credit file before applying to Chase/Citi?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Curious if anybody else with a $3 per month T-Mobile Sim has been able to keep international roaming working? It no longer works for me and when I called T-Mobile they told me I needed to upgrade to a plan that was at least $40 per month if I wanted to be able to receive text messages while I...

    Has anybody else from Sarasota received an email from AMEX saying: "We were unable to send mail to your current billing address. Please help us by updating your billing address as quickly as possible so we can deliver important information about your account." I know of one other person who...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I've used MYUS for shipping 7 packages from US over the past year. None arrived within the quoted time frame. Unsure if their estimates are inaccurate, or if there are genuine COVID delays. I've found all major carriers are using COVID as a reason for not delivering within stated timeframes...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Oh Citi Bank... you got to feel for them! Guess it's a gamble if AMEX will accept with last digit missing. Perhaps just add it on before faxing?
