Correct, regular income from the SMSF is received.

First hand data point here - I have assisted a self-funded retiree apply for several credit cards in the last 14 months. In all cases the superannuation income met the minimum income requirement of the application, and the 'employment status' was noted as retired etc. Occasionally a letter...

Interesting hypothesis there champ...it's always good to get some input from the daytime TV watching demographic.

She was not aware that her seat could be manually reclined, nor was this offered to her by the FA's. One other PAX in her row was making a huge scene about his faulty seat, and probably took up most of the time of the FA's on this matter. IMO, the issue here isn't the faulty seat (faults...

I agree, and for that reason in correspondence to Qantas, no reference was made to a specific J product. I included the details here because I'm sure i would have been asked! The old vs new J product is still luck of the draw. But regardless which J product you get - both should work as...

Sure. Qantas has so far sent 3 responses (not verbatim): Response 1 - We have received your complaint; we aim to respond within 15 business days. Response 2 - We are sorry we didn't meet your expectations; customer feedback is important to us; we appreciate you highlighting your concerns...

Re: Couple of AAdvantage questions from a newbie to it I've booked several AA awards in the last few months, and all were ticketed within about 3 days.

I appreciate all the suggestions - they will be pursued. Qantas has provided a further email today (again very generic in nature), that basically says the matter is closed from their end. I'll be sure to keep you all updated on the progress of this matter.

Flight was booked direct with Qantas.

I'll keep this as short as possible: My girlfriend (oneworld sapphire) recently did a trip with QF: SYD-BKK-HKT-BKK-SYD, J class, revenue ticket Both sectors SYD-BKK & BKK-SYD were on QF A330 with Skybed 1 On sector BKK-SYD (a night flight) her seat (and all others in her row) had no seat...

Do you have any upcoming or future plans in mind? Also, do you plan to use your points for one or multiple travelers? Personally, I'd be using for either outright purchase or RTW. Different airlines have different fees/taxes. Try redeeming award seats on CX, they generally have pretty low...

Lounge access on arrival in Singapore? I'm contemplating a suites booking on my way to SGN. Itinerary would be: SQ F SYD-SIN 2-3hr layover VN or JQ Y SIN-SGN Questions: Would my F ticket permit me access on arrival to Singapore's First Class lounge, or any lounge for that matter...

Availability on the HKG-ZRH sector CX F/J is reasonable, but the SYD-HKG sector is generally only available either well in advance, or the week prior departure. How would one manage a booking in this case. Could I book the HKG-ZRH sector first, then a week out when (hopefully) a SYD-HKG seat...

Thanks shannan94. I had guessed this might be the case. Personally, I still see value in this award routing.

I would like to book SYD-HKG-ZRH-VIE using AA points on CX and AB. My understanding is I can book a one-way AUS-EUR itinerary (like the one above) for 60k in J or 80k in F. Questions: Ideally I'd like all legs in F, but as this isn't possible on this routing (CX don't fly F to/from...

Re: Amex Platinum Edge via priceline, no fee first year, 13500 bonus pts for $200 spe I have a David Jones AMEX card and was approved for the AMEX Edge. Also, to answer my own question 2 posts above. Yes, purchasing gift cards are fine for the points earn.

Re: Amex Platinum Edge via priceline, no fee first year, 13500 bonus pts for $200 spe I've signed up and received my Amex Edge card. Will buying a $200 Priceline gift card count towards the $200 Priceline spend, and thus trigger the bonus points being awarded? I want get the bonus points...

Thanks for all the feedback. I've decided to go with a DJ Amex and WOW EDR M/C (combined with standard EDR non-CC). Primarily due to my desire to collect QFF points exclusively. Signed up for all cards today. This works out to earning approx. 48k QFF points a year, based on the following...

Hi all, New to the forum, and looking for advice. Been trawling through treads for a while - great info on here. While I've used a CC for years, i've never utilised a rewards program. I want a card/s that provide me with QFF points. I will have a yearly spend of 50-60k. I always pay off...
