    Expiring Krisflyer Miles - When can I travel?

    Can flights be booked with a travel date that is after the expiry date of the points? Or do I need to book AND fly before the expiry date? I have points expiring at the end of the year and just want to know if I can use the points before they expire but for travel in 2023.

    Better Cards Than Amex Post April 15?

    Is anyone considering switching to a non-Amex card for everyday spend, post April 15? As far as I can see, even with the devaluation in points earn and transfer rates, Amex still comes out marginally on top when compared to other banks. Even with the top tier cards from St. George, Westpac...
