    Car on Credit Card, points and balance transfer

    Hi, I'm a bit of a churner and we are looking for a new car. I'm exploring the option of paying on a card, and wanted to ask if anyone has done, or decided against something similar. Points should be nice, especially if a new card and getting some bonus points. CC Fee ~1.5% on approx $45000...

    Virgin Australia Involuntary Cabin Downgrade

    Bought Business from Sydney to Melb earlier this year. First time Business and first time using points. Early morning flight ~830 was cancelled and my seats were shifted to a ~5pm flight, but still business. 'Voluntarily' downgraded to get on a flight that wasn't half a day later and got no...

    VA Flight cancelled, was rebooked, got booking moved but downgraded

    Yeah giving up the J to get on a flight an hour earlier was a spare of the moment decision, after waiting in the service line for an hour. Thanks! I knew it was a little high, but was happy considering the prices of the flights in $ given school holidays and it being a fairly last minute...

    Virgin Amex Velocity Platinum card now 110k points

    I mentioned it before but I was accepted using Sojourner's and the card arrived in the mail on Thursday. A bit longer than I expected but, reading the thread they have been pretty popular and are taking a bit longer. That said I'm still waiting on my 28Degrees which I applied for around the same...

    Tahiti Questions: Lounges, Cards and any other advice

    Thanks MattG, Now to see how badly they've hit my credit rating! I will have to cancel some after the trip and the points transfer so my overall credit limit goes back to something smaller, even if I always pay the bill on time, and will rarely use the other cards.

    Virgin Amex Velocity Platinum card now 110k points

    Accepted! Still waiting on the card, and trying to figure out where I get my referral link. I'm assuming it's when I get the card and log in somewhere. Asking on the phone they said the referral points would kick in the same time as the 110k post to me, so I can let you know when that happens...

    Tahiti Questions: Lounges, Cards and any other advice

    Thanks John, Appreciate the advice, I was assuming the airports would essentially be sheds next to a run way, so it's to hear they are nice yet simple. Will definitely thin about renting on Bora Bora or Mooera, I don't think we'll be in Papeete for long enough. We decided to stay on the...
