    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Yes we as a couple did the flight last year. Bucket list as well. We enjoyed the experience and are glad we did it. But LOL once is enough as it is a L O N G Flight ;) We have decided that shorter J flights are better suited to our travel dynamic, even if the total A to B...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    My wife and I had about 140K expiring on Dec 31. With other trips of various types (some non-flying) already locked in for 2024 and other life events it meant that we could only redeem for Nov/Dec 2024. So where to go? Looking online there were ample flights abd destination choices that far...

    St George Rewards Signature KrisFlyer Devaluation

    Well for me that is a no. The ANZ still earns some points, and so the difference in points gained for my circumstances does not offset the 3%. For myself this is all spending on private and not business related travel. Though I also use the same card for my occasional non-travel related...

    St George Rewards Signature KrisFlyer Devaluation

    Avoiding this is why I use the ANZ Traveller Card when I am overseas instead of STG or Amex Cards. Earns less points, but saves the 3%.

    Lounge etiquette - sleeping in lounges

    They now also have a separate "sleeping" room. Smallish so normally is quite full. In the general area of the Silverkris Business Lounge the old Silverkris Lounge was probably better than the renovated and relocated one for sleeping/napping as there was a pretty quiet area down what used...

    ING Bank Dropping 5 Free Overseas ATM Withdraw Benefit from 1/8/23

    We were there for 6 weeks, so was not too frequent, and I prefer to not carry large amounts of cash. Cash still has its applications, though mainly for smaller things. So we always keep a float on us. "Free Walking Tours", yes you can often pay by card, but a queue forms for payment. So with...

    ING Bank Dropping 5 Free Overseas ATM Withdraw Benefit from 1/8/23

    Actually, you are correct. I just checked in my IN Account and I can see rebates of $5.00... I cannot remember all the Banks now, but Scotia I think was the one in Montreal which worked. Bank of Montreal the card did not work. Each ATM withdrawl receives two rebates, one for International...

    I just logged in at 12.10 AM Melbourne time. Currently still has 2 for 1, and not 3 for 1. So give it a go. It calculates the conversion, so you will know before you commit. See screenshot below. I cannot test as I only have 1 point left ;)

    ING Bank Dropping 5 Free Overseas ATM Withdraw Benefit from 1/8/23

    It will be interesting to learn what is actually now charged of the first 5 transactions. In June/July it was certainly easy for us to use the ING to get cash from ATMs in Toronto, Quebec, Montreal, Banff and Vancouver.

    Yes, I moved the bulk a few days ago, and then just left 5000 odd in both my, and my wife's, accounts so we could mop up some late points that posted today. We both now have only 1 point left in each of our accounts. Any future earn will probably go to our Velocity Accounts. Though we may...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    It would be one nominee per person if you need 3 seats. So if someone is redeeming their points from their account for you, they would need to be able to add all 3 of you. You can only redeem a flight (seat) for yourself the member, and for your nominees. So if they are not a nominee, you...
