Yeh, I've previously sought to cancel, and then had fee reduced. Works every year.

Hmm, my statement date is the 20th of each month. So we'll see. I guess if it doesnt come through, I should call up yeh?

I've received 3 statements to date, and am halfway through my 4th (so presumably going through my 4th month). I've spent well over the $1500 on the platinum, but haven't seen the 50k points hit yet. Will it happen after the this current period is over (i.e. issue of 4th statement)? Or should it...

Hi Markis, thanks for the advice. Could you elaborate a bit more on that? Thanks, Smoety

It's not a matter of being able to afford it. I guess unless you've gone down the path of long-term budget travel, it's probably something you don't understand. It's the ability to save costs where you can by being smart...if we can save a nights worth of accomo, we can use that for another...

We booked on points :) Otherwise, we definitely wouldnt be able to afford it. We're looking at doing a year in Europe on a budget. So anywhere we can save money is a bonus! I know it sounds contradictory, but given that we both managed to scrounge up points through flying with work and credit...

Hey guys, Quick question. A mate and I are flying into dubai landing around 1am in the morning. We're flying in business class (on emirates) via singapore. Wondering what options there were for sleeping in airport until the morning (i.e. 7-8am). We've got an onwards business ticket (emirates...

Hey guys, Finally made the booking! 2xJ seats to Dubai (via SG) and onto London. Although, the seating for Emirate legs (SG to DXB and DXB to London) on the Qantas site are quite different to the A380 plan on seatguru...any ideas as to why this is? Thanks for all the help and advice! Cheers...

Hey guys, we're at the stage that we're ready to book our flights...ive found 1 in March that goes from brisbane to dubai (via SG) which is J seats for both legs. Ideally, we'd like to go around start of April...is anyone able to check if there are any left? We're Bronze members so assuming we...

bump for mattg?

Hey guys, This may have already been answered. If so, please direct me to the relevant thread. Question: My mate and I are looking at booking J seats (using points) to London via Dubai (stop over for a few days). So effectively a multi-city booking. As it stands, we should have enough points...

No, we don't know how to speak German, although willing to learn some basics in order to "get by"...We'd probably enjoy some hospitality work over an office job, so hopefully there are some hostel/bar jobs floating around. How do I go about getting a bank account set up? Will I need...

T&Cs state bonus points may take up to 4 months to process...My understanding is that the once you've hit your spend, your application is placed in a queue, and will be processed in batches.

Hey Matt, I originally thought it was only UK and France that you could score a Visa with, but obviously have since done some research into this. We settled on Germany as we thought it might be the more logical choice out of a few of the other European countries (i.e. Italy, Denmark, France...

I'm going for up to a year. How well does this compare?

Yeh, just did up a quote with good2go. $580. That's quite cheap. Are there any dramatic differences between the likes of what STA, or Flightcentre, Covermore, etc. might provide? Could always ask for a price match as well for the same level product.

Any responses to this?

In any case, I guess you're at no loss (unless you need the points ASAP) due to the $0 annual fee for the first year.

Just applied for platinum and approved straight away. Even though ive got the basic one from 2 years ago. Hopefully i get the 50k points!

Hi guys, Looking at heading over to Europe next year for up to a year. I've been looking around at travel insurance, but unsure as to what the best might be? All the ones I've look at come in around the $900 mark. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
