    Combining family luggage allowances - Cathay Pacific

    Hi all, has anyone had recent experience with this type of scenario? 6 family members travelling to Milan from Sydney economy. Can we pool our 20kg luggage limits and have multiple check in bags? Total would be 8 checked bags, 2 with snowboards about 20kg each. That would leave us with 6 bags...

    I don't have a credit card!!! What should I get???

    Thanks so much for all the help guys. I've gone with the first year free NAB Premium AMEX+Visa and the Citibank Plus Debit when overseas, I don't have an offset home loan so no real advantage. Last question, if I'm offered the option to pay for my Italian rental car online for example in A$...

    I don't have a credit card!!! What should I get???

    Is there a reason why you guys use the BW Platinum Zero for larger purchases, and not use the Citibank Plus Visa Debit if you have enough cash to load it up before you leave? Also is the 28 degrees and BW Platinum Zero the same features? The extra insurance offered by BW will not apply to me as...

    I don't have a credit card!!! What should I get???

    Is this because of the exchange rate offered? The way I read how the Qantas Cash Card works is you transfer your loaded amount into the currency you are going to be using (Euro in my case in Italy) and you are not charged a currency conversion fee. If I go to Switzerland though and use it there...

    I don't have a credit card!!! What should I get???

    Thanks guys for all the info After much reading and calculations, aa I'm not a regular Qantas flyer, will be doing an Italy trip at the end of the year with family. I think I'd be better off with a no fee card. So the AMEX discovery seems good for me, I will also apply to get the NAB Platinum as...

    I don't have a credit card!!! What should I get???

    Is that because you earn 1 point per $ instead of 2? If so would it be worth getting the Jetstar Platinum for $69 first year, including saving on fees and getting Jetstar dollars to use over the 10 or so trips? I only will be flying Jetstar for work to Narita, we fly Qantas when we holiday, so...

    Last year I put around $50k on my debit master card, and about $30k from my business, that will be going up to about $50k F15/16. What about the Qantas Amex Discovery Card.

    I don't have a credit card!!! What should I get???

    Thanks for the recommendations, I don't have a veda score it tells me, maybe because I don't have loans or credit cards? Haven't for years. So no Citibank special offers for me :( Also when I check the Bankwest Platinum Zero it seems like it's not a rewards card? But there is the Bankwest Qantas...

    I don't have a credit card!!! What should I get???

    Hi all, Yes that's right I don't have a credit card, I used to with my offset home loan, but now the closest thing is a debit mastercard. So now I will be flying a bit more I had better get something that earns me some upgrade points. I've checked quite a few out and am not after a black card...
