Hi everyone, just wanting some advice on the best way to book flights for someone in my position. We have no set travel times so we can book whenever we can find available flights. We only have bronze status at this point. We are going to hong Kong and Beijing and have 200k points at present...

Ok so in light of the velocity earn being reduced it looks like I probably shouldn't go with a direct earn velocity points card? I'm leaning towards Anz black rewards. With that and the Anz Qantas black will that give me a good spread across the board? edit: unless I'm missing something here, I...

Thanks Swan, but noiw you're going to hate me. Should of mentioned I was looking for a Visa/MC velocity earner. Most of my suppliers don't take amex.:( (or both Amex and VISA/MC)

Sorry maybe I wasn't clear. I want to extend my reach and start earning velocity points on another credit card. Looking for the best points earner, uncapped.

Ok so I'm off and earning QFF's. What's my best uncapped Velocity points card? Gotta get this second one going!

Yep, freq flyer. Is the Anz black rewards possibly the next best option for my second points earner?

Thanks again everyone. So helpful. Got my Anz black in the mail. Am I right to apply for another card so soon? I really want to get going on the velocity points too. Thanks for the heads up on the cards buzzard. I was thinking of going the highest velocity points earning card out there? I notice...

Thanks so much roo. Lots of info. I'm trying to find a card that gives 2 points per $1 for either Qantas or velocity. Do these magical cards exist? If not I think I want to look at the best two cards for direct earn, or best earn and equivalent conversion rate to either ff or velocity points...

Yep. Just throughly re read your post roo. What airline would you say has the best allocation for awards seats? oh also, how do I discover the cash cost of the business points seat?

Ok so home from work and more investigating. I really need some help understanding the ins and outs of this game! I've just looked at a business class flight to Frankfurt and it comes in at over $8k return. I've looked at the points, Qantas at 280k for return. Now to get to 280k points I'd...

Thanks roo! We would be mostly doing Europe and USA/Canada. Can you please explain j and f? I did read using the points for premium seating is often better?

Edit. I suppose I should ask about points conversion also. I had it in my mind that I'd get a card that I didn't have to convert, ie. $1 = 1 ff point.

Cash flow is not a problem. Working account is always healthy and ready to pay for invoices.

Have two suppliers that take Amex so far. Coke takes Amex and only charge 1%. Frucor take Amex but it's a 2.5% charge. Those two combined would be an average $3k spend a month where as all other suppliers are 1% charge for visa/MasterCard and don't take Amex. The tobacco would be my big earner...

Thanks gph. Forgot to mention it's just my wife and I in the family and I suppose we'd like to use points for international travel mainly. Cheers!

thanks for the detailed response deka. 1. Potentially could spend $28k on one supplier alone per month. Much more could be spent if I used it for others. 2. No airline status. 3. No frequent flyer points. 4. No airline preference

Hi everyone. Brand new member here and I feel fairly silly that I haven't investigated this earlier. I'm a small business owner, convenience store, and I have several suppliers I can pay by credit card. I've started investigating them and so far they all incur a 1% fee on an invoice. My question...
