I spotted the following article about the use of predictive analytics by AMEX in Asia Pacific - Amex expands predictive analytics platform - Software - Technology - News - iTnews.com.au . Given what appears to have been quite a shedding of cardholders in the past year, especially amongst AFF'ers...

An interesting article at Suite talk is all positive - would certainly help arrest the current decline of properties for IHG in Australia and I'd imagine would lead to the introduction of the Candlewood and Staybridge brands into Australia as well. I guess we'll see soon enough whether or not...

I just noticed with the current Grand Prix sale fares that fares to Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo are now available for purchase one-way rather than just as return fares. Not sure if this was the case before but it's the first time I've seen it for these destinations. Is this...

Full details can be found at HSBC Platinum Qantas Credit Card | HSBC Australia - for those that don't have QP access...

I was just in Coles last night and at the bottom of the receipt there was a couple of extra deals for earning bonus Fly Buys points (one was 300 points for $25 worth of meat or fish and the other was for triple Fly Buys points). I noticed the following link provides more details -...

I just received an email from Garuda with some very competitive pricing through to Amsterdam for next year. It does mention in the small print that seasonal surcharges apply, so I'd imagine the lowest price is only available in the FEB/MAR timeframe. Yes, it is Garuda still, so not a desired...

I noticed on the ACCC website the following tidbit of information - HSBC Bank Australia Limited - Notification - N94913 - So does anyone else know details about the card? It doesn't appear as an option on the Everyday Money site yet, but I guess it will soon. If the points are right I'm...

I noticed this offer at American Express® - it's not particuarly inspiring compared to others out there, but may be of interest to someone. The core details are: The American Express® Card Receive a $100 Ticketmaster voucher after your first $3,000 spend in the first 3 months. The...

I received a card in the mail today from Citibank with a bonus points promo for my CitiBusiness card. Basically, if spending $7,000 or more between 15 August and 15 October then it earns 4,000 bonus points. Nothing earth shattering, but it's the first time in about three years that I've received...

My wife just got a flyer in the mail to apply for the new Qantas American Express Discovery Card - doesn't appear to be on the AMEX website yet, but basically it's got no annual Card fee for the life of the card (the good side) and it earns 0.75 points per dollar spent (the not so good side)...

I've noticed since yesterday that ads have been popping up for me on the American Express website, variously offering 2000 points for adding supplementary card holders to my Platinum Credit Card or my Gold Charge Card, and both with no additional annual fees. Might be worth taking a look if...

I just received a postcard from AMEX, basically if you transfer 50,000 points to Velocity before 28th February 2010 you also get Velocity Gold Status or if you transfer 20,000 points you get Velocity Silver Status. Not too shabby if you were going to transfer anyway, especially given Gold...

Just noticed there's a sign-up bonus of 20,000 points available for the Citibank Platinum if you sign up at Citibank Australia - certainly worth a look for some people given the changes happening with pretty much every other card vendor at the moment anyway.

Just checked my Membership Rewards account and noticed a couple of notations of "Bonus 1,000 points for 5 transactions" - looks like it commenced from the start of this month. Don't have any more details at this point and haven't received anything in the mail. I haven't registered for...

Just noticed that Garuda has some pretty cheap fares for the new SYD-CGK service they've just commenced. The economy class fares are around $650 return (a bit less on travel.com.au and others no doubt) but more surprisingly is the business class fares for under $1200 return. Given the new...
