I've got the Altitude Black card and AmEx Platinum. I've been having points transferred to Altitude points (not airlines). The new deal is a backward step for me. When converting to a gift card, the earn rate is currently $11,300 spend per $100 voucher. The new scheme makes that $13,333 spend...

My offer was for an Altitude Black card with 40,000 Altitude points (not FF points). I've taken a screenshot just in case.

I should add to my above post that I found another combination that better suits me. They have an AmEx Platinum card with a $49pa fee. It earns less points (2 per dollar) than the black ($3 per dollar) but the lower annual fee is a better result me. With the Westpac Altitude Black and the AmEx...

I've been a member here for 13 years but haven't posted for many years. I previously had the standard Altitude card and when Westpac did the previous round of point revisions and introduced points caps they were quite detrimental to me. They sent me a letter at the time and offered me an...

That's certainly an idea. I have relatives in the UK. I've got no plans to visit them but they would gladly forward any mail to me. Its certainly not my preferred way of getting a discount membership. I'd prefer something more above board if possible. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Both my wife and I want to join QFF. With the price being $82.50each ($165), I'd obviously like to reduce or elimate this cost. A while ago, I recall that Westpac were waiving the fee for Altitude customers. This doesn't seem to be available any more. Does anyone know of any ways to get a...
