thanks for the tip! checked Aldi but unfortunately they don't support roaming in Chile :(

i'm going to be working in chile for about a year and i need a cheap simple Australian sim only plan for receiving text messages (mostly banking and verification related). data or voice i don't care about. been looking at optus/telstra/vodafone/virgin and they all come in at $30-35 per month for...

Re: ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure now 60,000 velocity points; 1 domestic return flight how strict are they on the 60 days when it comes to the included domestic flight? got a flight i want to book that's in like 58 days.

So i'm trying to get my head around booking a classic award with a partner airline through Qantas. When you search online on Qantas, does it actually search across all the partners? I'm wanting to book a Sydney --> Santiago one way in J but the search on Qantas.com shows no availability. If I...

Got some good news! despite being explicitly told by the amex CSR (twice over two phone calls) that I wouldn't receive any sign-up bonus because amex had plugged the 'loophole' and upgraded their system I did receive my bonus this morning! just minutes after the final charge that pushed me over...

thanks for the update! this gives me hope. my final charge that takes me over $1500 will confirm tomorrow *crossing fingers*

This is my current status as well. spoke to amex yesterday about it and they would try to get the edge back on Ascent but told me that there is a chance that i would end up with both cards on Ascent. Was also told that i would definitely not get any signup bonus for the explorer. Anyway, $1500...

So I got a call back from the CSR now. he told that my options were to either put both my cards on Ascent, or to 'appeal' to the back office team and insist on the gateway program for my explorer. He told me something about that they've now intentionally redesigned the system so anyone who...

yeah it's a bit annoying now thinking back of the conversation with the CSR. he kinda cornered me by first saying that i wouldn't get the bonus and then saying that the Ascent program had a higher earning rate than Gateway. like why whould i want to be on on Gateway then? anyway, he said he...

yeah that's definitely the plan. i'll still do the spend and just see what happens. i did ask for the gateway program for explorer, and he said he'll try but that there might be a chance i'll end up with both cards in ascent. crossing my fingers. anyway, i'll keep you guys posted how it plays out.

ok so i just came off an interesting call with American Express. i've been in the process of linking my explorer from ascent to gateway. follwed up on this yesterday and they said they would process it no problem. Today i sign in to my online account and i can see that my explorer card is now...

I called AMEX on wednesday to change my explorer card from Ascent to Gateway. It's now monday and nothing has happened. Does this usually take a couple of days or should i follow up with them?

ok so just got my explorer card and i have activated it. have the edge card already. how do I see if the explorer card is linked to gateway or ascent?

Hi Dr Ralph thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it. i actually i haven't yet received the points for the ANZ rewards and the Westpac, but should drop in any week now, and then i'll definitely axe them. The ANZ black is my daily visa spend, and then i also have a AMEX platinum edge for my...

Just got into the credit card bonus game a few months ago in October so still getting my head around it, but so far it's scored me a SIA business class trip to europe so quite happy :) Applied for and still have ANZ Frequent Flyer Black 75k Qantas ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure 60k Velocity...

same here.. did my qualifying spend 2 months ago, have received two statements and been charged the annual fee. maybe i'll give them a call this week to see what's going on

Re: ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure now 60,000 velocity points; 1 domestic return flight nice offer! if i have the anz frequent flyer black card already, would that disqualify me? had a look at the T&C and only reference I could find was this Not available in conjunction with other offers...

Re: Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" bonus given thread. platinum edge with 3-4k spend per month since nov '14. called and said i've been offered a ****load of points from one of the banks. got offered 23k points to keep it, which i took
