Totally agree. I've been a customer for over 20 years. This change really takes the cake. To cut points by 83% is ridiculous. By the lack of posts on this thread I gather there aren't many cba bankers here. Interesting to see what the other banks do. This is probably cba's biggest income...

The question is which Amex card to move to? Are the other big 4 banks going to do the same?

Considering using my Dia awards card on a purchase that exceeds my limit a few times over. Anyone with experience on earning points on purchases when the balance is in credit i.e. if I was to pre-load the credit card, pay, load, then pay over a number of consecutive days, knowing it takes 2-3...

Did the same thing. There is a virgin employee ticking names off a list. Confirm no ala carte. Pretty tight fit, with more seats for dining than sitting. With two VA flights departing it was full. It sure why happens when MEl-lax comes on. Food offerings decent, along with bar service. A few...

Here's the English translation:

Can anyone tell me/ direct me to the benefits on VA with Topbonus silver?

Out of interest, can anyone tell me what the vendor is for the credit card charge for a successful bid? Wondering if it's VA, does this count for a valid spend to trigger an Amex rebate offer (like the current "spend $150, get $30")? Or is the vendor something other than VA?

Re: Hilton HHonours Macquarie Platinum Card Question: if I use a reward night certificate plus a paid night, does this mean I get no points for the entire 2 night stay?

I suspect it's row 3 or exit rows. Seat for charge, and no freebies for plat or gold.

My experience with the Edge was that they allowed a 4 week grace period. Seems different to the Velocity card based on the reports.

What you are planning will work. You just need to check the hotel accepts them. There is a list on their website. Just tell the front desk you want to use them. You can use in Aus/NZ I think. The restriction is that you can only use them against post-paid rates at the hotel, not pre-paid...

Would this stack with the double your points on offer til 31 August?

After holding out on an HGVC presentation I finally caved while in Waikiki a couple of weeks ago. I was genuinely interested in purchasing and was aware of the high pressure tactics. I was offered 50,000 HH points or $200 Amex card. Why not, eh? Presentation was more than 90 mins with a sales...

Anyone with the Hilton Macquarie visa stay at a Hilton recently and get a 2000 HH point bonus? It was on the stay details as something like "Macquarie Q3 stay bonus". It mysteriously appeared on a stay but I'm not sure how it came. Is it a regular promo or something that is in the terms and...

I think it's limited Availability and is also location dependent, and only for classes up to standard. i've had limited luck booking in Australia, but OK booking in the USA. The presence of rate codes don't seem to bother it where I have succeeded. There is always a small fee for taxes. Not...

Absolutely what you said. Collect bags, clear border force, into terminal (landslide), to transfer desk, checkin and drop bags, then either bus or train. Minimum connection time 90 mins but should take 45-60mins if you went straight through. So yep, plenty of opportunity to drop stuff in...

The only experience I had was in Adelaide where I called up beforehand and got my account number put on the booking. Somehow it worked and I got an upgrade and welcome gift. That was as gold. interestingly I got points for the extras I paid for, but not on the third party booking amount.

I gather that's the reciprocity of benefits between companies. Equivalent to VA gold and plats being given HH lounge access.

Model s starts at just over $100k doesn't it?

Thanks for the heads up CaviAck. I naively went and booked multiple W class seats and then read your post! So I've reached out to Velocity and got a call back today. Not promising (yet). They said yes indeed, no points or SCs on W class! I asked when it would be looked and she said they will...
