    Reccomendations for a new business account - both bank and cc

    Depends on the size of business and if you need loans etc I guess. We set up a very simple company a couple of years ago, didn't need any financing etc just a simple business tx account. Ended up going with Bankwest Zero account, no fees at all - the only fee free one I could find at the time...

    Help me find the DHL office at Sydney Airport

    +1 You'll feel like you're going somewhere wrong when you take the left turn to the DHL car park (I think there's a sign that says taxis only but ignore that). And to confuse things there's the big DHL warehouse which is on the previous corner (that's where we ended up first). The Google Maps...

    Sleeping on (angled) lie-flat J beds - your experiences

    It's much better than a seat fully reclined. Yes it's not as good as fully horizontal but if you've never flown J before the lie-flat beds are 100 times better than economy. Also the quieter cabin etc and just the ability to properly stretch out makes a huge difference - you can get...

    QFF Card I can use for business expenses?

    Citibusiness Gold is a great card I reckon. Dining program is worth checking out too - free bottle of wine at a number of restaurants and 3x bonus points. From recollection points cap is 250k. Earn rate is 1.25 QFF points per dollar. Only downside is that you have to call up and transfer...

    Does anyone still have and use an Amex Qantas Premium Card?

    Yeah I canned my Amex Ultimate when they wouldn't waive the fee a second time this year and use the Citibusiness Gold for QF earn (at 1.25pt/$). The only Amex I have now is the Plat Edge which has the free flight for $149 fee so kinda pays for itself.

    Bonus Partner Promotions - April to June 2012

    Yes I got the same error. I suspect we're on it too early for them (given it officially starts April 1). I guess this is a nice earning "window" Apr-Jun before insurances go back to 0.5 points per dollar :-)

    We'd like to know what you think - QF FF survey

    Pets and children should have their own cabin, and there should be commercial kitchens installed just behind the overwing exits to cater for vegetarian dogs.

    HotelClub Bonus Points Issue

    I also had problems with getting the HotelClub points, had to call a couple of times after the 10 week window was up. Amex really must waste a lot of time chasing all the HotelClub points manually. Whereas Hotels.Com posted immediately alongside the transaction - so that one was clearly...

    QF to cut jobs/routes

    I'm on a SYD>BKK J flight in September and it's still coming up as a 747 in the seatmap. When I do a dummy new booking it still comes up as all 747s too. I had Row 16 exit seats selected too so want to get in early when they update the site. For those that have been through this before, how...

    Purchasing flights ex BKK

    Hi all, probably a noob question - I know a lot of people purchase tix departing foreign lands online eg on separate itineraries, and on the research I've done ex BKK is very cheap (I want to use points to Asia and then purchase from Asia > Europe separately). QF have a limitation on online...

    Paying ATO tax bill with Citibusiness gold?

    The only thing we're not sure about is whether it goes to $2 per QF point alongside the Citibank Platinum cards as of April 1st. I haven't seen any info from CB so assuming that it stays as advertised previously at 1:1 CB>QF points but it's a nervous wait :-). And Citibank aren't great at...

    Paying ATO tax bill with Citibusiness gold?

    I can confirm that Citibusiness Gold does earn points at normal rate for ATO payments, have done it loads of times.

    Citibank Qantas Rewards Program going to $2 = 1 point

    Thanks for the info. What happens with Citibusiness - I assume the earn to Citibank Reward points continues at 1:1.25 but is there a ratio change when transferring these points to QFF?

    Virgin Money credit cards (linked to Velocity rewards)

    Looking at the T&Cs now on the site it looks like they'll do it for Saver, Flexi and Premium on domestic sectors. Not available on sale fares, will be interesting to see if its available for business when that rolls out.

    Citibank Qantas Rewards Program going to $2 = 1 point

    Anyone heard about the Citibusiness card? My guess is it will be cut back as well but can't find any info on it. Weird that on their "qantaschanges" site Citibank explicitly say they're not changing Signature or Select.

    Amex - Gold Ascent Credit Card ??

    Hi Zoe, Anything offered by Amex or branded Amex will have the same acceptance, so can't see how a Gold Ascent will be accepted anywhere that Plat Edge will not. You'll need something branded Visa or MasterCard for greater acceptance (only available from banks, credit unions, basically anyone...

    Velocity double dip?

    New to Velocity - I know this doesn't work for QF but if using Hotelclub or similar with MR bonus points, is it then possible to do a retro points claim on the Velocity website and double dip? I realise that the it shouldn't in theory, but I can't see anything about why it wouldn't on the...

    citi rewards points changing

    Is it possible they misunderstood what you were asking? The Select is 2pt per $ spent so maybe that was the 2:1 ratio they mentioned? I find it very hard to believe that they'd have QF/DJ and Enrich, Asia Miles all converting at the same rate as they have fundamentally different values. Not...

    Winds of change?

    Me too. Thought I was just imagining it (or been lucky) but interesting to note others have noticed too. Wonder if they've brought a batch up from JQ (I assume that's the career-step these days?) and moved an old jaded bunch out.
