    Sam Chui gets Starlux into trouble

    loungeindex is my favorite in terms of entertainment value, good dry humor from a seasoned traveler. No sponsor cough.

    Sydney Domestic Parking Woes

    SACL had no idea of the issues, this is evident due to the carpark closing a few days after the valet parking area had been reopened following a refurbishment.

    Experiences on Qantas staff travel

    OP, it's a fantastic benefit you should definitely use. The most significant benefit is that flights are fully refundable and can be booked up to the last minute. The only caveat is that your QF friend will have to book on your behalf. You will have a lower onboarding priority than most other...

    Additional Benefit on Velocity Earning Cards: 40K Points, 6 Months Gold or $300 Travel Bank

    Rather than getting the 6 months VA Gold status would it be better to just go the points option? If you want the status you could get Kris Flyer gold status for 12 months instead via the 100k bonus on St george Amplify Rewards Platinum card (Convert the 100k points to 50k Krisflyer points)...

    Commonwealth Platinum Awards - 40k Qantas Points. $10 fee.

    I'm happy to take 10K points for nothing :). Although I'm probably going to cut back on the applications though since I potentially will get mortgage in the next 5 years. I've just ordered the free report from Veda. Last year I ordered it I had some muppet call me up trying to sell me the $80...

    Commonwealth Platinum Awards - 40k Qantas Points. $10 fee.

    It would also be interesting to know what the actual customer retention rates are for the cards with sign up bonuses. I'm assuming the AFF and OzBargain crowd are the minority.

    Commonwealth Platinum Awards - 40k Qantas Points. $10 fee.

    I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if I can twist their arm. On another thread someone managed to get 10K points for just calling up and being asked to reconsider the cancellation at a later date. How do you keep your credit rating in order with so many applications?

    Bankwest Transaction account [General Discussion]

    Damn should have persisted with another provider. I ended up closing the account(s) since Virgin Mobile told me it was crashing their system.

    Commonwealth Platinum Awards - 40k Qantas Points. $10 fee.

    Just a follow up. I sent a message through netbank asking when the refund would be made since it was so late I was not expecting for it to come through automatically. I received a reply promptly with attitude saying that I had applied for the card out side of the promotional period and therefore...

    Commonwealth Platinum Awards - 40k Qantas Points. $10 fee.

    I applied for this card in July and received the points soon after, I still have not been refunded the application fee yet though. Has anyone else not had their fee refunded?

    Commonwealth Platinum Awards - 40k Qantas Points. $10 fee.

    Received the card today. The travel insurance "upgrade" isn't very competitive. Although the card covers 6 months of travel, any additional time costs $400+ to extend the policy(I'm travelling for 7 months).

    Commonwealth Platinum Awards - 40k Qantas Points. $10 fee.

    I just applied for this as i'll be going overseas for 6 months and want to make use of the free insurance. Was conditional approved pending the submission of two payslips. Was given a 10K credit limit, surprising since I'm a casual at a supermarket who earns $600 a week.

    Qantas Group Booking

    So I have been asked to check-in online for a flight which I will be taking later in the week with about 20 others. The booking is class G so I assume its a group booking? Will seat selection be automatically allocated in order to match up with the rest of the group? or is it up to everyone to...

    Bankwest Transaction account [General Discussion]

    So its ok to misrepresent others through using their name and email for your benefit, however paying a phone bill which is well within the terms and conditions is abuse? Also, i have no intention to take this card overseas, that's what the citibank card is for. You'll need to come up with a...
