Hi Guys, I'm looking to get from the US to Asia in May 2018. I can see availability for 1 passenger from SFO - HKG, but as soon as I try two, it comes up with waitlist. When I view the seat maps I can see J is 10% or less occupied on the flights I am interested in (I know this shouldn't be a...

This is such a silly question on my part! I tried researching but didn't really come up with anything. I think the answer is Yes - however want to clarify. Can my card and my partners card link to the same airline account? I'm assuming it makes no difference to have multiple cards linking to...

Hey Guys, Planning on using my Citi points (transfer to HHonors) to book at the Conrad Maldives in April/May next year. Hopefully will get Gold (via the Citi fast track program) which hopefully means I just need to spend points for 4 nights and get 5th free. I've been checking availability...

Hey Guys, Quick question...just want to confirm the number of points required for 2x F/J flights with EY: MEL - AUH - MLE 200K points for two people for F to AUH, then J to MLE? I was always under the impression that the Maldives were classified as Middle East, but according to the AA Award...

Hi All, I'm not sure what is going on here - I'm logged into Etihad Awards - (etihadawards.com) and from the member section I navigate to award flight booking - this now takes me to etihad.com and I notice I'm not logged in anymore, so can't search for flights. When I hit the login button on...

Our business involves working with suppliers overseas. We transfer a fair bit of money overseas through the likes of ozforex etc. We're at the stage where we could have a constant supply of J/F flights if we could tap into earning points on these money transfers. We try to maximise CC earn...

Is it just me? For the last few days I've been logging into the BA website and trying to search for award availability (via spending avios and reward booking link). I always get the same error: "Unfortunately our systems are not responding, so we are unable to process your request at the...

I have the Platinum mastercard and have been using it to earn 1.5 skyward miles per $1 spent. A great card in my opinion, until the Qantas/Emirates merger, which seems to have dried up a lot of availability and redemption rates have gone up, not to mention the fuel surcharges. I was re-reading...

Hi All, I’ve been a member of Emirates Skywards for a number of years, and my only means of obtaining points is credit card spend through the Citibank Emirates credit card. It’s served me well so far, getting 2x J and 2x F (A380) flights from AUS – NZ. Probably not the most economical way of...

Hi All, I'm planning a trip to west coast USA in mid 2014. I was going to use some US dividend miles I've had on hand to book a J return ticket. Problem was on the way home, I have a tight schedule and wasn't able to make anything work. I've been doing some research and there seems to be VA...

What are the best ways to accumulate UA miles for the cheapest cpm for us Aussies? I know that there are a few techniques which involve having a US credit card, but is there anything that we can do to purchase points consistently for under 1.5 cpm? There are also times when promotions are on...

Hi All, I've been trying to figure out a way obtaining some FF points cheaply - and thought of this recently. Transfer money through Western Union to a family member, or even yourself and redeposit the money back into the card. Rinse and repeat. Having looked at the fees, it may not be that...

Hi everyone, Please excuse the long post! A bit of background. I’m working full time earning around 50K, but also have a ‘hobby business’ where I import from the USA/Asia and re-sell online. Most of my suppliers take paypal as their form of payment. All of the money goes through my CBA...

Hi, Just wondering what I can't take onboard the plane? There seems to be much more restrictions on international flights. I can't really find too much on tigers website regarding domestic travel? For example can I take alcohol on board? What about picture frames? Hair straighteners? I know...

Hey everyone! I need to turn to the experts for some help! I think this might actually be easy for someone that flies frequently, but I’m pulling my hair out! This will be quite long :) Now, a bit of background info: I finish uni at the end of November this year! So, as a celebration...

Hi, Quick question. Just wondering if its possible to transfer the Amex Altitude points to starwood? If so, what is the rate? I know you can transfer Amex Ascent points at 1000 Ascent points to 333 SPG points. If anyone can point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it.

Just a quick question regarding points transfer. Basically is it only possible to transfer AMEX points to a starwood account? Is it possible to transfer other points, say points from ANZ credit card (that would normaly go to QFF?) IF so at what rate? Basically, is AMEX the only card that...

Hi all! Im trying to make the decision of which carrier to join for the FF program. At the moment its between Qantas and AA. I'm more leaning to AA as from what i gather the burn rates are much better then Qantas, plus their points don't expire like Qantas' (correct?) Basically i have an...
