    Should Qantas pay back Job Keeper ?

    Even though we are shareholders we think Qantas should pay back the $900 million they trousered from Job Keeper. It would be voluntary as there was no provision for refunds in the legislation. What do you think?

    Starting to wonder if frequent flyer points and miles will be used for flying

    Our family has many points and miles but with COVID-19 spreading fast we are starting to think it may be a long time before we get to fly out of Australia.

    Do you have more or less points/miles than last year?

    This year we have ended this financial year with more points and miles than last year. We have found it more difficult to book on Qantas points. Less difficult on Virgin and just a bit harder on Singapore Airlines. We never redeem for economy. How did you go this year?

    Credit cards you are cancelling post 2017 changes

    I cancelled an ANZ Black credit card today. I was offered a year free but I don't need another points cap to watch out for when deciding which card to use. Titanium blades on 3M scissors work sweetly.
