    @QF_Flyer did you get your 32k bonus KF miles already? Easy? Difficult?

    New Amex statement credits

    I think the marketing teams are getting smarter. Surely the person who approved the HN offer must have lost his/her job. That was just too awesome.

    Otherwise just buy a cheap local prepaid SIM when you hit the ground.

    Travel sims and money recommendations

    Vodafone roaming is quite good, either with an Australian SIM or one bought overseas. Be careful with data limits and use wi-fi where possible. Cash withdrawals from Citi plus or ING direct saver are good ways to access reasonable exchange rates. Get a card with minimal fx fees for card...

    FINALLY! - Citi launching Citi Prestige with Visa Infinite

    Just cancelled citi prestige. They offered to reduce annual fee to 650 (from 700) but not really worth it IMO. I'll be eligible to signup again with bonus in 12 months anyway (bonus points are realistically worth more than keeping the card). So long (for now) and thanks for the memories Citi!

    NAB Velocity Rewards Premium (75,000 Velocity points $150 annual fee/$1500 spend)

    Yeah, it seems to have disappeared.

    FINALLY! - Citi launching Citi Prestige with Visa Infinite

    Don't think so @Paultiffen, but not 100% sure. Stay 4 pay 3 is booked via hotels.com through the Citi travel desk, so doubt it can be combined. Would be a nice surprise.

    Virgin [initial] FAIL [ Rectified with new reaccomodation policy]

    As Mattg suggested, out the complaint in writing to the airline consumer advocate. Then ring back, state the problem, state that you've made the complaint, and if you still get nothing, ask to speak to a supervisor. Take notes in the call for your record. You can also look at the Dept of...

    FINALLY! - Citi launching Citi Prestige with Visa Infinite

    @Moindart Yeah, if you can put a lot through it easily, it's still the best earning visa/mc in the market. However I'm finding I can Amex a lot of my spend these days, and the lack of ATO earning on this card has become an issue for me. If you're lucky citi will run another double Hilton points...

    I'd like to come, but that's a tricky time. Maybe next time!

    FINALLY! - Citi launching Citi Prestige with Visa Infinite

    Yes, I've mostly emptied my Citi rewards account out and will be calling to ask the hard question in a few weeks. At 350, it's a keeper. At 700, it's for the chop. It's a shame, but they've whittled it right back, so it's much less useful than previously.

    NAB Velocity Rewards Premium (75,000 Velocity points $150 annual fee/$1500 spend)

    Got my card a couple of days ago. Haven't activated it yet. Have to go to a branch to prove my identity I think.

    NAB Velocity Rewards Premium (75,000 Velocity points $150 annual fee/$1500 spend)

    -100 points on my Veda score... Text from the bank today saying card approved. <5 days delivery time apparently.
