    NAB Rewards Business Signature Card

    Hi all, a question about the NAB Rewards Business Signature Card (not the QF version): do the bonus points and regular earn go into an individual rewards account, or some kind of central account for the business? I know that NAB recently changed how things work for the QF version of this card...

    QF domestic return - consequence of no-show for outbound leg?

    Hi all, I have a QF domestic return booking, but I can no longer make the outbound leg. QF does not have a suitable alternative option for the outbound leg, so I wanted to cancel the QF outbound and book a new one way with VA (and keep the return leg of my existing QF booking). I called QF to...

    Gift voucher questions

    Hi all, I have an issue with a gift voucher purchased last February. I intended to purchase 5 x $50 vouchers, but I thought I inadvertently purchased 1 x $250 voucher. I wasn't really bothered about that, but I have just tried to use it, and discovered that it's not in fact 1 x $250 voucher...

    Citibank chargeback after account closure?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to request a chargeback on a Citibank credit card after the account is closed? I'm still a Citibank customer, but the card account in question (a Prestige card) was closed just over a month ago. I'm guessing the answer is no, but thought I'd throw the question...

    What happens if you cancel an Amex with negative points balance?

    Due to various refunds coming in, I now have a negative points balance on my Altitude Black Qantas Amex. I was already planning to cancel it, and I still am. Does anyone know what happens in this situation? Is Amex able to claw back the relevant number of points from Qantas? I can't see any...

    Is there a glitch with Classic Reward points calculations?

    A couple of weeks ago I was scoping out a Classic Reward trip from Europe back to MEL for next year. I found flights that I liked, involving a short BA flight into LHR, then LHR-HND followed by NRT-MEL with JL. It priced at 180,000 points (in J) per passenger. I took screenshots, so I'm not...

    AMEX bonus point lock out question

    Does anyone have current information/experience on whether holding a Westpac Altitude Amex and/or a David Jones Amex prevents someone from availing of sign up bonuses with "mainstream" AMEX cards? It certainly used to be the case that you could get AMEX sign up bonues even if you hold one or...

    "You're just away from status"

    I just received a rather odd email from QFF. The subject is "You're just away from status". I know, that doesn't make any sense to me either. The email itself says nothing, except the standard blurb at the bottom of all of their emails, "You have received this email because you are...

    QF-Air France partnership - interesting observation

    While I realise we still won't earn QFF SCs on Air France coded flights, we can now earn points and in my current circumstances that's about all that matters (I'm currently P1 with no realistic prospect of retaining P1). This led me to look into AF for an upcoming trip to Europe. The cheapest...

    Minor schedule change - and now I have to phone Air NZ?

    I've got a TT flight booking (for next July) with NZ, and I have just got an email from them advising of a very minor schedule change (15 mins earlier than the original departure time). For some weird reason, the email says: "We're reminding* you we've had to reschedule your flight(s) below...

    Citibank Prestige - waiting period required for bonus eligibility?

    I asked this in an old thread, but no response - I'm sure people on here will know the answer so I thought I'd give it another go. Does anyone know how long you have to wait after cancelling the Citi Prestige to become eligible for bonus points when applying for a new one? And am I correct...

    Hi all, does anyone have any experience of redeeming KF miles for NZ flights? I'm trying to redeem miles for a Trans Tasman booking with NZ.

    VA direct MEL-ZQN flights

    Does anyone know what the deal is with the direct MEL-ZQN-MEL flights operated by VA? They announced relatively recently that they were starting this route in Oct 2018, but checking online it seems there are no direct flights available on this route after early May 2019. So have they decided to...

    Hi all, I'm currently booked with my wife and two kids from MEL-SIN in Y. It's a daytime flight and we have 4 seats together in Row 32, which I understand are among the best Y seats on the plane. I booked using points during the recent promotion that offered 50% of Y awards. I'm still happy...

    SC earn on AA domestic "First"

    Hi all, I seem to remember reading something a while back saying that First fares on two-class AA domestic flights will now only earn at the Business rate - is that correct? Reason I ask is I'm currently in the process of arranging a trip to the US. I basically have two options: 1. Book the...

    Flights booked via Virgin Holidays - fare class?

    Hi all, if you book flights (with VA in Y) via Virgin Holidays, does anyone know what fare class you get? It doesn't offer a choice between Getaway, Elevate and Freedom, nor does it say anything about what class you are purchasing. Just to clarify, I would NEVER book anything with Virgin...

    Hi all, I'm a Velocity Platinum, and will shortly be flying trans-Tasman in Y from MEL on NZ metal and an NZ ticket. Do I get Express Path access when departing?
