    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Not really. We don't actually shop from supermarkets much with most of our buys from Costco (who don't accept Amex anymore) and farmers markets. I really only use Krisflyer but as it is, finding it hard to book reward flights as waitlisting kills my nerves. I wanted to redeem qantas miles...

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Currently using the NAB visa platinum as their signup offer was rather enticing at the time. I already have a free flight attached to my ANZ travel rewards so losing the AMEX isn't a big deal.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Just cancelled my plat edge. Was offered 15k to stay, but with the changeover of the free flights to a $200 credit, that's just not enough to keep the card. So goodbye plat edge!

    Best way to fly ADL - SIN - LHR (combination of cash + miles + cc points)

    Thanks Trooper. We are quite familiar with JHB as that is my hometown and would prefer to fly from Changi (SIN) instead of JHB or KUL. I have no love for either of those airports unfortunately! Logistic /family location wise, SIN is also a better route as the causeway jam is a painful journey...

    Previously I have always been able to choose my meal right after confirming my seat booking.

    Ridiculous carry on baggage

    Often it is a case of the airline not allowing the check in. My friends tend to get told to buy a seat for their cellos as they aren't allowed to check it in. Or if they do check in, the airline bears no responsibility in the wellbeing of the instrument. Given what we pay for our instruments...

    Proposed new ANZ Adventures credit cards

    Definitely call them back. The bank manager who did my switch rang up the credit card department twice to double check that the flight would still be available through an internal switching of cards (vs. being a new card customer) and they confirmed both times that yes, the flight would be...

    Proposed new ANZ Adventures credit cards

    The new annual fee applies - but I get a rebate on the annual fee I've already paid for the rewards classic card. That was the best offer they could give me at that point.

    Proposed new ANZ Adventures credit cards

    Had mine changed from Rewards classic to this new Adventures card yesterday. Went into a branch and the bank manager processed the change. He did mention that as it was a very new product, he was not well versed with it so he ended up ringing the credit team / call center anyways for questions...

    Hopefully, tho none of my points have been credited in. I might be a tad impatient tho so I will wait another week before I start questioning it.

    IHG Accelerate 1st June-31st August 2016

    I've only recently joined IHG and had a look at the accelerate offers, but the T&Cs state that the campaign is only available to members located in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Greater China. How is everybody taking advantage of this campaign then? (Apologies if this is a silly question...

    Proposed new ANZ Adventures credit cards

    Stuck between the new ANZ Rewards Travel card and the AMEX Platinum Edge card! Currently I have a basic ANZ rewards so am looking to change over to either one to maximise points - the two cards seem fairly similar but I am very new to this game. Or perhaps I should go platinum edge for the...

    Hello!

    Hello everybody on AFF - long time flyer but only recently realised that I really should be doing more research into all the loyalty / reward / miles programs that I am a member of and maximise them instead of just plodding along and doing the most straightforward thing. And with that little bit...
