Hi, I still hold the Citibank free for life card from ages ago - it has been upgraded over the years and is currently a Citibank Word Premier Mastercard. Its reward program is not very good, and I only use it for certain small spending (under $20k per year). Recently I applied for a Citibank...

One and a half months ago, I reduced my Citibank free for life credit limit to the minimum $15,000 and closed a credit card from a different bank (total over $50,000 reduction in my available credit). I did this as I intend to apply for the St George bank credit card and want to increase my...

I just saw this article on the News website. Quite a cool invention, but maybe not so practical: Samsonite Scooter unveiled for exec on the move | News.com.au Who here will be the first to buy & post a pic of them on it?

As QFF website usually doesn't show CX award flights, I usually check Asia miles website first to find appropriate awards and then call Qantas to book. The last two times I have successfully done this on both occassions I needed to call Qantas two or three times to do it as the first person I...

Hi, I don't use my Citibank card that much anymore due to the points capping, but with the increase in the Qantas direct earn fee to $49, I have decided to quickly change my card to Qantas direct earn so I can get 1 year at the $19 rate. However I have 400,000 Citibank points and am not sure...

I was having a look at the new ING Savings Account - the Orange Everyday account (with a Visa Debit Card) which is promoted for having virtually no fees. Looking at the fees table, I noticed that the overseas ATM withdrawal charge is listed as $2.50 with no currency conversion charge. I...

Hi, I thought I would post about a problem I have had around 3 times. Often when I travel to Thailand for business I book award flights as BA has quite a bit of award availability. Often I am not sure how long I will stay and whether I will return directly to Australia or make a trip to...

I regularly redeem Qantas Award flights. I decided to have a look at redeeming Velocity Award flights. With Qantas you can change or cancel an award flight (up to 24 hours before the flight) and you only get charged 5000 points. I did a search on the Velocity website for flights on V...

Hi, I am wishing to book an award flight for myself and someone else. There is a flight with one seat available in Business class and one seat available in first class. I don't mind using the points for these, but I would prefer we were seated together. Do you think if at checkin I request...

Sorry if this has been posted before: I am about to book a QF economy domestic flight. I wish to apply for an upgrade with points, but I want to credit points/status to AA. Is the only way to do this, to use my QFF number when booking, and then ringing up Qantas after getting my boarding...
