As per last year, I rang to cancel my Bankwest Platinum Qantas M/C a couple of weeks ago and was placed through to retentions and offered the fee waiver. This topic is pretty interesting and wondering now if my experience was an exception.

Our view is with 2 young ones is to always 'Hope for the best and plan for the worst'.

Online statement says 'Altitude Platinum Plus Card' but no mention of earn rate (Ive never really cared to look before). Spend last month approx. $3700, $800 on M/C, $2900 on Amex, 9500 Alt points credited so safe to say def a Plus.

My card expires shortly and on has Alt Plat written on it, but just checked my online statement and definitely is a Plat Plus account. As for free for life, Im happily going into my 6th year now with no fee and no mention EVER of a fee being re-introduced. Make of that what you will...

My Alt Plat is fee free for life - I find it interesting that no one else is, or they have been and then had it withdrawn. If I was told it would be withdrawn I would be straight onto my relationship manager. Ive had a loans with Westpac going back to early 2Ks. Started off with gold free fee...

Check in would be fine if all under same booking. Lounge access is doubtful, but worth a try.

Did PER-DUB at Christmas with EK and the additional cost oneway for the baby car seat (bigger car) was $36 paid direct to the driver as they were a contractor. Had a trailer so plenty of luggage room. As for the weight I couldn't agree more about being disadvantaged. People who cant see the...

Bump - Basically can you access the DXB Emirates Business lounge in economy with QC membership when travelling on a ticket booked with EK? Would be great but sounds like a bit of a stretch - I would have thought you need to be travelling on a QF flight?

I feel all those supposedly "high income earners" in the $80-$150K bracket generally are familes that have relatively high mortgages also and are the ones who most value private health insurance. As a result for the most part they probably will retain their insurances and simply cut back further...

According to the Velocity Rewards website under the Earn - Utilities, Insurance and Finance section - looks like an ongoing offer.

Got my points on Monday after being connected last Thursday. Although I wonder if email them asking to confirm that I was eligble for the points once I got connected before hand may have assisted in getting my points in a timely manner. For new connections you couldnt get any other...

I'd agree there is def something up with Amex. Ive had an Amex of one kind or another for around last decade. At present I have the Qantas Ultimate rewards and applied for an Edge with a request to close the Qantas Ultimate & transfer the balance. My application got rejected and when I queried...

Would also be keen to know the answer to this as the wife is a supplementary card holder on my card. :confused: We travel a bit over east so $450 ex Perth to Syd is good value for spend we would make anyhow. Not so good for eastcoasters tho - one of the very few times we get a good deal from Perth!

Can anyone speculate on how the new checkin proposals will affect partners travelling on the same ticket when going through the terminal?

Hi folks, great forum here so time to post. I have done this excersize so many times and still cant get a clear answer. I have always found it difficult to get Paypal's exchange rate at the time of purchase, although my experience has been it is generally slightly better than the Altitude...
