    Pre paid SIM card in US

    Got back from my US trip last week. Thought I'd detail the steps we went through to activate our AT&T Sims and use them with my unlocked iphone. It's a bit fiddly, but the Iphone is a godsend especially in New York. You look much less like a tourist if you don't have huge maps in your hands...

    Flying to LAX/JFK on Friday... a few questions

    GRRR... unable to checkin online. Some problem with the system. Gave them a ring, it shows error code ER100... a quick search reveals the flight may be oversold (great). So it's early to the airport for us.

    Flying to LAX/JFK on Friday... a few questions

    Thanks File51 :) BTW off topic but we are travelling with iphones and have got hold of some AT&T prepaid SIMS so I will document how that goes when I return as I see some sketchy info in the internet/communications forum. Suffice to say you can do it, but it's not completely kosher and a bit...

    Flying to LAX/JFK on Friday... a few questions

    Hi guys, thanks for the info... I am a frequent flyer but zero points (so basically a noob lol). My ~$1200 fare was also booked just on the QF website. We'd seen it cheaper a few weeks prior but we're pretty happy with that price. Also checking seat counter again now there's availability on...

    Citibank QF number no longer on file?

    Sadly you can't just type in your QF# and name, you have to ring them to get it registered. But try as I might, when I ring 13 24 84 no matter what I do I can not get to a phone queue to call a real person, it's like being stuck in an endless loop. I have emailed citibank, they told me to...

    Citibank QF number no longer on file?

    Hi all, I recently went into transfer my points (I have 18000 odd) from my citibank rewards to my QF account. To my surprise, my QFF number is no longer on file. It recommends I call 132484 to get it put back on. I sent them an email through the internal secure email system, and they also...

    My Cancellation Odyssey

    Update... rang them, was put through to another area much like the comment above. I said I didn't need the card any more, they said I could keep it without a fee as they would cancel the rewards program (fine by me, I have no points owing to me and now have citibank for all my points). They...

    My Cancellation Odyssey

    Just thought I'd document my cancellation odyssey. I've got the AMP Amex card, but am no longer using it and now want to cancel it before the annual fee is charged. That won't happen til September but I'm getting in early. I rang Amex, eventually go through to Apu in India. I stated simply...

    Free renewal and 5000 points!

    Hi all, Recently my WBC Mastercard came up for renewal. The $100 fee is a complete abomination and half points is the ripoff of the millenia, WBC don't deserve any of our business. I had paid of my card and went into a branch to close it, but when questioned on why (I have now got a...
