I am just looking forward to getting 10,000 points for essentially nothing. I am not sure if CitiBank will be doing the usual credit checks but from what i can understand of the deal while rushing to my flight is that I can get the bare minimum 'card' and get the points after 2 months once I...

Hi all, Has anyone had a look at the current CitiBank deal at the Melbourne Airport? You can sign up there for a Fee free, 12.99% interest Visa Debit card account. The deal is also available at places like Melbourne Central but instead of 10,000 points you get a $50 myer voucher. I went...

Status: Platinum Qantas: 365,814 AmEx: 21,659 Used up only 160k in last 12 months for 2 tickets to LA (bought pre-increase). Points are a combination of: Diners Card (2x points) AmEx (1.5x points) ANZ Gold Visa (1x and 2x for Qantas) Hotel accomodation (3x points) Flights ([2005-every week...

Thanks, just figured it out. Didn't notice it at 5.45am. :-) It was interesting to see that they still want to push people to the 'electronic' statements still. Also, as a frequent flyer I was hoping for an extra entry for every flight I make (unless I missed some small text somewhere). Daniel

I tried it this morning with Firefox but got no feedback. I had to rush off to catch my plane so didn't get time to experiment too much though. Regards Daniel

What is the answer? Regards Daniel

Thanks Rob, the only things I have received from Citibank in the US are my statements which thankfully have come throug international mail without any problems. I'll keep an eye on the account now. I was going to use it to sell my US shares into it and then use it to do my US share trading...

I think that if Qantas wants to increase the take up of the Qantas Platinum AmEx for the its membership base (QFF, PS, SG, WP) then they should offer ADDITIONAL bonus points depending on your status. Ie. Additional 0 points per $1 spent on Qantas flights for (QFF up to PS) Additional 0.5...

They also had a competition where if you changed you would get a chance to win an IBM T41. Regards Daniel

Once a year I usually call up and say that I need new tags and will get another set as spares. I've got about 6 QP tags, 4 SG and 2 WP so far. I do not get any Silver ones as (as they explained) that my QP tag had more 'status' then PS. Regards Daniel

Yep, whenever I see a quadruple snaked line of people in the taxi rank with the line only growing bigger I just walk down towards Terminal 1 and catch a taxi from there. There are usually about 4 people in the line when that happens. Also, if you are popping into Melbourne Airport in the the...

I got the letter as well. I intend to do a few things about it. My anniversary date is August so in JUNE I will do a few things: 1. Pay up completely on any amounts and not use at all. 2. Wait until all my points are pushed into the AmEx card and then transfer it all to Qantas. 3. Confirm...

Well on my RTW trip 10 years ago the 32kg x 2 limit was allowed throughout my RTW trip as all my flights were booked on the same ticket. I would double check this now but if your RTW trip is all under the same large multi-page booking then you should be fine. Regards Daniel

Well a FF scheme is a big thing for me and this has stopped me (apart from my company policy to fly Qantas) from trying OJ out. With regards to a flight to Perth, I just took a flight this afternoon (MEL-PER) and luckily enough there were 34 spare seats on the plane so I managed to block a...

Please excuse my ignorance but is this new Sydney lounge international or is it the same QP I have used for domestic. Also, with regards to First lounges, can a WP flying econ domestic/international go in? Regards Daniel

Well I was thinking about that back in seat 50F. :-| Daniel

I generally get a forward seat (I'm WP) but I usually ask for a seat in the far back and ask to block th enext next to it. If the plane is not full I get to stretch out a bit onto the empty seat next to me. This of course can backfire. Last week I was flying back to Melbourne from Sydney and...

I recently tried the Four Seasons and the rooms are very nice. Not much room variety that I could see though but the in-room facilities, service and views are top notch. I used to use Rydges Jamison (35 odd stays in 2005) and their rooms have a LOT of variety. If you are going to be staying...

Well I remember back in late 1991 I was on a cruise with my family on the Achille Lauro and one of the movies they played every other night was "The Hijacking of the Achille Lauro". :-) I don't think they will be playing any Flying High/Flight Plan/Plane Crash movies on planes anytime soon...
