Cheers! My partner and I just got confused when he went to activate his card (as the previous supplementary cardholder) and they were asking him about his usage of his previous Bank of Melbourne account. I had also just called the bank and confirmed that as he was not the liability holder of...

Any idea that if I was a previous supplementary cardholder (within the past 12 months), would I be eligible for the sign-up bonus? I'm hoping yes as I was not the primary account holder.

I intend to for sure!

Technically starting my 2019 trip in 2018 by flying out on the 24th Dec. But not returning until 27th Jan, so we'll say this is a 2019 trip ;) The whole trip has been booked for 2 pax using points. Trip is as follows: 24 Dec QF J BNE-MEL, then EK F MEL-SIN. This will be my first ever F flight...

Same here...

My partner and I are currently in Dubai and expecting to fly out to Stockholm tomorrow before overnight train takes us to Abisko in the north of Sweden. Apparently the lake at this location rarely has cloud cover, even if the surrounding areas do. This means it offers the best chances of seeing...

Fantastic trip report so far! I am beginning to think I will need another trip in the future to check out northern India.

I am indeed! As I am not doing any tours or anything, this will be one interesting trip.

Great trip report so far RooFlyer. You're getting me excited for my first trip to India in two weeks time!

Last nights (3 Dec 16) EK435 from AKL to BNE was diverted to SYD just before arrival due to rolling storms. This saw it land in BNE at 22:14 (scheduled for 18:50). Subsequently, EK435 from BNE to DXB departed at 00:21 (scheduled for 20:45) and is expected into DXB 7:41 local time (usually 5:10)...

Hmm, interesting Flyer. Would definitely be keen to know if anyone is keen to accept foreign currency! Did you have any trouble exchanging for rupee at the airport at all? Interestingly, I spoke with a currency exchange guy here in Brissy and he said that as part of the new rules, it is now...

Thanks for the updates! I'm thinking that I might have to look for unofficial money changing services and offer a significant percentage of the transaction value as a fee. I know that Indian nationals can still deposit any amount of 500 and 1000 rupee notes into their accounts until March next...

Another day, another Indian government change with this currency situation: The government had at the time allowed a one-time over the counter exchange of 4000 rupees, giving people time till December 30 to deposit the rest of the cash they were holding in bank accounts. The limit for the...

Here's hoping! Thanks for the updates leadman.

Well that's not sounding good! Just as a correction, it is 19,000 rupee, so roughly $380 AUD. I'd be at panic stations if it were US$19,000! Oh well, will just play it by ear and see how things go over the next few weeks. Cheers leadman

Fantastic! Cheers RooFlyer

My partner and I are headed over on 22 December for 3 weeks. Was planning on buying rupee a few days before we left, but a very *kind* relative bought us 19,000 worth of 500 rupee notes a week before this all went down. Needless to say, I am one of millions unimpressed with this sudden change...

I hear you! I've almost had this one for a year and had recently decided to keep it and cancel other Visa/MCs because of the great earn rate.

I did some snooping around on Flexiroam and managed to find a current promo code that nets 500meg of data. The code is SAVEONROAMING. Not too sure if it will only work for new sign-ups, but might be worth a shot!

Thanks moa999 and lathiat. I'll definitely check out Flexiroam. Worst case scenario is that I have another sim for voice calls when needed. If I can't find the 500mg referral, I'll use your code lathiat. Cheers
