    What happens if you cancel an Amex with negative points balance?

    Just cancelled my ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures Card and was advised I have 90 days to redeem the points. Will have to do so over the phone because login access to internet banking and the ANZ Rewards website was immediately revoked.

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Seems like a whole batch approved. My platinum status match approved overnight as well. My wife is still waiting on her gold.

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Submitted mine on 18 May and heard nothing yet. Anyone know if there are similar status match opportunities for Velocity members for airlines in Star Alliance or Skyteam? Might as well make use of Velocity Platinum while we can!

    If points are important to you flying oneworld airline check your subclass.

    The main reason I have not used a TA in over ten years is because they will never care as much about getting the details of the booking right as I will. I know some people have good TAs that they trust but I prefer to do things myself and then I know they will be done right. When forced to use...

    70 Day RTW Trip with Carry-on Only ?

    One wheeled carry-on and a backpack would be enough for me if the change in climate is not significant. As others have said, you need to select appropriate clothing that is versatile enough for the types of activities you will undertake. Shoes are heavy and bulky so a maximum of two pairs (wear...

    How do you get discount J ?

    I have found good availability between Asia and Europe using AA points but the difficult part is getting in and out of Australia. What do you guys recommend for positioning flights? A cheap Y or Y+ (for which I would also include J on LCCs) fare is the last resort, but can anyone suggest a...

    Proposed new ANZ Adventures credit cards

    I was about to trade in my 28 Degrees for a Bankwest to earn some ponts on the significant spend for an upcoming OS holiday, while still avoid fees for OS transactions. Now this looks like a better option. Having not banked with ANZ before, can anyone advise whether you can set it up for...

    FF Points predicament to get the family to LHR

    Some of the best advice I have had from AFF is to ring the call Centre and ask about alternatives (have Google maps open and know your airports). Not everything appears on the web site and I have found the call centre staff (for QFF and AA) very helpful in finding something to suit you. I...

    Using credit card overseas, worth the point ?

    Are you certain that BW charges for ATM withdrawals if you are accessing your own funds (i.e. account in credit)? Their website says they charge the greater of 2% or $4 for cash advances. Do they consider withdrawing your own funds via ATM a cash advance? This is what I, and many others, used...

    Qantas economy or Jetstar business to Honolulu

    I have flown JQ long haul in both J and Y (that was a mistake) as well as QF Y, PE, J (and F) so can compare them all. Like others I found JQ J to be superior to QF PE - better seat but food and drinks similar. We did OOL-NRT-OOL on the max bundle to get the status credits because it was a...

    20% Bonus when transferring to AAdvantage Miles - 20k SPG = 30k AA Miles

    I did some dummy bookings for flights through Amex travel and the points required is based on the revenue fare at a rate of 100 MR points per dollar, so the same as the Webjet rate of 10,000 MR points for $100. For serfty's example of MEL-LAX in J the best I found was over 500,000 MR points on...

    20% Bonus when transferring to AAdvantage Miles - 20k SPG = 30k AA Miles

    This sounds like a great deal which I am keen to take advantage of. However, I have a question regarding the best value for Amex MR points. Am I better off transferring them to an airline or hotel loyalty program, or using them to book travel either via Webjet or Amex Travel? The benefit I see...
