    Next earn rate cut - HSBC Premier World Mastercard

    Is there anyway to get this card without being a HSBC Premier customer? It seems to be the only decent card HSBC have. I enquired and was told I would have to depost 200K at HSBC to be elligible. Their platinum credit card seems pretty basic to me..

    Star alliance lounge access

    I am currently with Air NZ but am wondering if its worth changing to Singapore or Thai. My main goal is lounge access - not too worried about free flights. Is there a clear winner in terms of the quickest way to get there? Thanks.

    Flying LAX to Washington

    Agree. I go to Arlington every couple of years and I go out of my way to make sure I fly into DCA. I know it gets mixed reviews, but I have found alaskan pretty good. Thats who I flew last time (over a year ago now).

    Bankwest More World Mastercard

    UNLESS (as I found when I rang them) the existing fee was waived for you (which it was for me) in which case, it reverts to the prior cards normal fee. i.e. $190.

    Bankwest More World Mastercard

    I just received an invitation to upgrade from platunum mastercard to this. I haven't heard of it before and based on the benefits, it looks like they are trying to compete with the Citibank Signature card (which I have). Does anyone know much about this? Given I already have priority pass...

    Best Star alliance program for australians

    While i've been an Air NZ ff member for over 10 years, I have pretty much stopped using it since Virgin gets me FF points on Air NZ. But I may be doing a lot more Start alliance travel in the near future, so I was wondering, is Air NZ the best program for me ? It will be mostly travel within...

    Travelling for business in the cold

    As I get ready to put away my winter coat for another year (it only gets used for 8 weeks in Sydney) I got to thinking about how I would cope if I needed to travel a lot when it is cold.

    Excess Baggage forwarding

    I did this when I move to the UK 12 years ago. The thing to keep in mind is (at least in the UK) you will need to clear it through customs which is a long winded process. It took us about 4 hours. I think we used a company called 'Excess Baggage', but given how long ago we did it, I would seek...
