Just looked through latest statement fpr 21 Degrees and rates varied for each transaction on same day.

From experience, the 21 Degrees (MC) is a dynamic one with multiple transactions on the same day but spread out over some hours - all at different (but better rates) then we paid to get the cash. One reminder for PayPal users. NEVER take the default offer (where they show the amount in...

Wouldn't expect them to, more likely play the banks off against each other along these lines: "We're currently examining our existing and future banking partnerships (Bain that is implied, but only for VA II). At the same time we are restructuring our debt positions and would like to invite...

...and I wonder how much of that debt has susbequently been re-financed? Typical modus operandi sees any 'guaranteed' debt re-financed asap with non-recourse debt.

The backup plan of a fee-free/spread free CC like 21 Degrees is always our choice, even with the cash. If the current rate on the day while overseas is higher then we us the CC. Last effort in Jan/Feb 24 saw us take advantage of the brief bounce in the EUR/AUD rate (for example). Made/saved...

Not on seating but on why very young children start screaming sometimes. Many years back, airline stewards/stewardesses were educated about the specific needs/issues faced by young children/babies. Top of the list was severe pain in the ears due to rapid altitude changes, especially combined...

Despite the best of intentions, with a swag of Krisflyer points expiring as of 31.12.23 - last night at 9.40pm the redemption dance began. Ideal outcome would have been SYD CDG J return in mid Oct to early Nov. Relying on memory is not as reliable as historically unfortunately. We needed...

Time for the 'please explain' request.

If you're a Krisflyer member perhaps you could look up the schedule on the respective web sites I suppose. Never bothered as there's always too many movies for me to binge on.

Had you already completed Wk 1 on the a/cs that got the single spend offers today or not? Curious if there's a data point there - if you get an additional enticement if you don't complete Wk 1 with only 2 days left to go? Possibly special case going into silly season though.

Curious. One a/c got spend $30 get 1,200 points (already on 4 x$60 spend increased due to absent minded better half who's hanging her head in shame...), while another got spend $50 get 1,000 points & also on 4x$50 spend. Both a/cs haven't done Wk 1 yet but a 3rd has. Perhaps Coles sales...

That $24m man who recently 'left' Q sure earnt his money didn't he!

... just with an additional upfront fee.

Should be another '4 week' (5 weekend) offer either next week or the week after if their algorithm continues as in previous years. The 'wrinkle' this year is trying to entice you to spend more for less points (the two week offers). Less alert shoppers will have been hooked and likely will see...

Now that would be interesting if they have adopted the approach that CCs used to use to convert (brainwash?) clearers to revolvers. In this case they're using the 'addiction' to points to increase their share of wallet, and most likely (for the non-AFF world) lead to much greater food wastage...

Of course you will do this anyway, but for those who are less knowledgeable - when you don't activate such an offer make sure you only put through a miserly amount on that FB account (say $8 to $10) so the system sees a good drop in your spend. Put the rest of your spend through as a separate...

Worth having a look at who you get phone, electricity, gas, car servicing (if part of a large chain), NRMA (or similar) etc etc. Some workplaces also have affinity schemes as some of the Industry super funds also do. Never hurts to ask (or look at their web site).

But you can buy eGCs with them... Which means you get the instant value of the discount.

You use a CC? Heard of eGCs? Amazing how many different ways of buying them (at a discount to face value)... then simply print out the barcode off them, making it the about the same size as the shop's card. Simple matter of having the different 'points' cards barcode in one side of a clear...
