Hi all, My wife and I are wanting to travel to Europe (Rome, Florence, Venice, Positano) next year in June, and believe we might need to factor in having a 3mth old baby (our first child) as part of these plans. This would be out first child, so we're wondering if the idea of a family holiday...

In case others can get this - I was looking at the Amex Qantas Ultimate card for a while yesterday on my phone browser. I didn't close the tab, and came back to the Amex website tonight. I was pleasantly surprised as the website refreshed on load and showed me a 70k bonus points "exclusive...

I could be searching incorrectly, but I cannot find anymore on the Marriott website the page where it says Bonvoy Gold+ members get 15%+ discount on food and beverages when dining at Marriott locations. The main result I found was this article stating they'd removed this benefit in "Asia"...

I'm keen to hear how everyone decides to manage their credit card churning/every day credit card strategy as I feel I'm in a pickle now. For me, I always look for the 1ppd Qantas cards. This is proving hard as ANZ, nab and Qantas Premier are really the only cards that provide this (at an...

I've just boarded a domestic Qantas flight from Sydney. Prior to the flight being delayed, I was able to see in the Qantas app the option "boarding pass". This brought up the QR code and my seat number and pass details etc. However after I showed my boarding pass at the gate entry I closed the...

Following on from this closed thread: Cabin temperature I was on QF11 SYD -> LAX and QF12 LAX -> SYD last week and I couldn't get over how freezing the economy cabins were. Luckily I had a hoodie on the way over, and used that + hood + the Qantas blanket. But on the flight back, myself and all...

Has anyone had to submit a COVID medical exemption to Qantas yet? I submitted ours last night. Received a default reply saying they'll be in touch shortly. Just wondered what type of turn around anyone has seen as I'm just concious of our upcoming flights. We've got 10 days until our flights...

Is it just me, a bug, or has the Qantas Wellbeing app slashed all points earn rates by 10%? E.g daily step goals used to be something like 4, 6, 9, 12 points. Now it's 0.4, 0.6 and 0.9 points... Hitting your weekly target used to be 70 points. Now it's 7 points. Makes the app quite useless for...

We stayed for 5 nights from 28/12/19 – 02/01/20 at the Sheraton Deva Spa & Golf Resort so it was just after Christmas, and over the NYE period. I’d done a lot of research into this resort and the vast majority of reviews online were extremely positive, with an average of 4.5 across all the...

I believe the Marriot Bar and Restaurant discount program (details here) differs to the Marriot Club Members paid program.... And I'm interested to get people's thoughts/experiences with the bar and restaurant discount program. It'd seem after the Sheraton and Marriot merger and the new Bon Voy...

I have the USA American Express Bon Voy credit card (https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/card/marriott-bonvoy-brilliant/) that provides "EARN 6X MARRIOTT BONVOY POINTS on eligible purchases at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels".... I've just booked a stay at a Sheraton titled...

Hey all, I'm a bit puzzled on this one. I've gifted my sister 2 complimentary QANTAS lounge passes so she can use them on JQ12 (Jetstar) from Narita, Japan in a couple of days time. The Qantas website states it has a QANTAS operated business international lounge (Airport lounge locations |...

Hey all, I've just paid for Qantas flights with my ANZ Black Qantas card where you receive the bonus point per dollar spend. But I chose the pay with PayPal option on Qantas as there were less fees. I've just received my CC statement from ANZ and it doesn't list any Qantas bonus points. On...

I've called the Marriot booking call centre probably half a dozen times now over the last 6mths since the merger and the experience is extremely frustrating. Every time I've called I've had to ask multiple times for them to speak up or even yell to be able to hear them on the phone. I'm not...

I chatted to Hilton over website chat on Sunday for a booking for 29 people and they directed me to [email protected] which was great - I could write all my questions and room requirements into the email. 3 days later I hadn't had a reply so went back to the online chat tonight who...

Hey all, Has anyone every done the maths on if using an American based credit card is better value than using Australian credit cards in Australia? American credit cards have some great offers I feel and a lot also offer no international transaction fees compared to a lot of Australian cards...

My friend was just on an Etihad flight back to Sydney and posted this online... can't really believe they'd have this in the info brochure... has anyone every seen it before?

I've had a Jetstar Mastercard for over a year now, however have just received an email from them saying that my card application has been approved, and just as I write this I've received an SMS from them saying my new card will arrive in 5-7 business days. My current card doesn't expire for...

I've been a member on here for a few years now and it's always great to read the many posts on how to capitalise and maximise your points. A few months ago I was talking to my good friend Dave Drury about my most recent credit card sign-ups and my stockpile of points when he told me about a...

Hey, I'm just looking for some confirmations on redeeming SPG points. If you use points to pay for an SPG room (e.g 10k points/night) do you still receive status points for those nights you stay? When you pay using points, do you have to pay taxes? If your room has a charge for Wi-Fi, can...
