    Platinum Amex changes.

    All credit card accounts with a $15k + limit are eligible for Diamond. I am assuming you have a lower limit than $15k?

    27th February Big Qantas announcement

    My tip on the big announcement is the merger of Jet Star and Qantas; Virgin has proved the hybrid model works, and with recent financial performance, they would need to adapt to something very similar, but I would say the established idenity of Qantas will stay, and the Jet Star influence will...

    How would you run Qantas?

    1. Customer, Customer, Customer 2. No Executive bonuses, staff receive bonuses based on more bums on seats and better service. 3. Aircraft swap with JQ; old QF Aircraft go to JQ; newer aircraft at QF 4. Cabin Quality; have the best cabins in the sky, period. 5. Focus where the demand is: a...

    What experience have you had with BuyAirMiles [dot] com? I am thinking about using it to buy some points for an upcoming trip to Tokyo; having used all my points over christmas :( The economics of it, in terms of comparing it's cost against the actual cost of a business class ticket on...

    Westfield XS card

    They are a great product for use if you use them as intended. Were even better when the loop hole was opened. I have an idea on an alternative solution. PM me if interested

    Westfield XS card

    What you have to understand is the Lowy Group and Post Master General are probably viewing this a money laundering rather than circulation of the same funds. They will need to abide by the AML CTF act and give you the 3rd degree before allowing you to buy gift cards. There could also be a...

    Using company points for personal travel

    Even if they were to disclose their corporate memberships the ultimate goal in the mind of the ATO is to find out $ value of points used. We all know that each programs points have a different $ value, if points are used for an award redemption there is even more of an issue, then add in that...

    On board recognition - who gets any?

    I've had recognition on flights. Usually the standard "welcome back daggs", a newspaper, galaxy tab, but nothing really special. Was sitting next to a TV host in Y and he received the items from the menu complimentary. I had to pay :(

    Why do you choose to fly VA (domestic)

    I'll add more legroom in Y. Photo of QF 737-800 My knees are pushing against the back of the seat, whereas on VA they just touch.

    Why do you fly QF (domestic)

    I will admit carry-on on VA flights can be a hassle if your not first on the plane (I've flown 170 domestic Y sectors with them last year). On my QF flights this week (x SYD to PER, and to BNE) carry on wasn't an issue very well organised and I'm pretty much last on the plane as a NB!

    Golds make your voices heard regarding the new seating choice arrangements!

    It could be a consideration that WP and SG seating in the old booking system was a limitation. Especially given that DJ didn't add WP until the implementation of VA. New brand, new status levels, new booking engine. More desperation between SG & WP

    Golds make your voices heard regarding the new seating choice arrangements!

    Look at it like sport. The referee awards a penalty. It's only going to please those who benefit from the decision. Those being penalised will always complain.

    Golds make your voices heard regarding the new seating choice arrangements!

    That detective work should make the front page of the Daily Planet. ;p It wasn't and still isn't a major problem if Golds end up seated ahead of me on a plane. However It's a great nice to have that I now get first shot at the pointy end. My big problem is the "lets tell Virgin that we are...

    Golds make your voices heard regarding the new seating choice arrangements!

    I think Velocity PS should be able to select 3-6 and with NR's at time of booking too. They are on the same flight and deserve the same service as everyone else. This is how pointless this argument is. Seriously, SG's fly a fair bit on VA metal, no question there. But WP's fly so much more...

    The problem is that financial institutions have thought of this before and have blocked payment via eftpos at post.
