    I haven't received anything since 2021. Strange.

    15,000 BA Avios with a subscription to The Economist

    How long did the points take to post? I've just done this in the last week.

    You can do a free points transfer between family members once her credit card is approved and the points are in her account.

    Avis Presidents Club Experiences

    Is the President's Club still only open to QF P1, or has it ever been opened to general members? I'm now hiring cars more than 180 days a year, and hopefully would be a candidate, if only they published qualification requirements!

    GGL Experiences

    So how many GGLs are there here in Australia, now that we can freely discuss being in Australia. I've been there since 2014, when QFF launched the enhancements back then.

    How to join British Airways exec club from Australia?

    Called the UK GGL line - the online update happened and there is nothing more to do - you can safely ignore the alert as long as your updated account shows the correct address.

    How to join British Airways exec club from Australia?

    I went and updated my address and got this - and yet the details have stuck in my account. 1632358295 And yet when you click "Continue", the details do stick. I'll give them a call on the GGL line to check.

    How to join British Airways exec club from Australia?

    Finally, I don't have to use an address in California for me or my nominated card holders! I'm so glad this has finally been removed.

    Car rental rates during the pandemic

    I've traditionally been a regular renter of vehicles on weekends (Hertz and Avis) and used Amex Platinum discounts (when renting with Hertz), mostly at Sydney Airport but also other capital cities. Traditionally pre-pandemic this would result in rates around AUD50-80 per weekend (rent Saturday...

    Hertz and Amex Platinum Charge

    When I got my card in the early 2000s, I had to complete the enrolment forms through Amex and then badger Hertz about it for a while. Since then though I've been PC and not needed the Amex upgrade.

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    If I can't get a tax invoice for the payments with Sniip, then I can't use it. This is critical. I've used B2BPay a long time ago and it was consistently good for getting a tax invoice and showing the GST component immediately on payment confirmation. Will be interested to see how you do with...

    Hertz and Amex Platinum Charge

    Is it just me, or is Hertz significantly increasing prices and offering no discounts for Amex CDPs now? I've got my old ones (211762) and previously it would give substantial discounts of 15%, but now it's giving nothing. Also, there seems to be a lack of weekend rates now - the standard...

    QF Platinum Denied Lounge on Arrival with Qantas Sydney Airport

    Was allowed Platinum arrivals entry today at SYD T3. They've closed the QP and are directing everyone to the Business Lounge, which had me worried they would be over capacity, but when I asked at the front desk of the Lounge about whether arrivals access would be allowed, they insisted I check...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Given that this is only marginally more than the cost of paying the ATO directly (1.5% vs 1.45%) and gives full credit card points, could become a new viable option for many with Amex.

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Noticed a promotion for Sniip, which offers 1.5% for paying with local Visa/MC/Amex and 3% for international Visa/MC (that seems to include GST) for ATO payments and other bills. I couldn't see that it had been mentioned before so I thought I'd post about it. https://sniip.com/

    Points Club Plus Avis Upgrade?

    The problem with this seems to be that I can't use other AWDs, so it's much more expensive on the QANTAS site making it not that much of a benefit.

    Woolworths gift card thread

    Which catalogue - the one I see for NSW starting 28 Oct doesn't seem to have it: https://d2g5na3xotdfpc.cloudfront.net/uploads/pdf/WW_NSW_281020_nsGfoQm6.pdf There are two other Halloween and Spring Entertaining catalogues and I can't find it there either. Would be grateful if you could...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    I had an interesting experience tonight at my local (regional) WW. I went and cleared the shelves of the $100 V1s, and headed to the self-serve. Guy helping me out told me that he wasn't sure if he should check with manager, so he did. Manager came over and asked me if I had heard of any...
