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

    Called today to cancel my Qantas Ultimate Card, and was offered nothing. Annual fee due in July. Closed the card, as without any bonus I'd rather reset the 18 months.

    Article: When Does it Make Sense to Redeem Points for Economy Flights?

    Living in Albury/Wodonga, the 8000 points plus $40 each way to Melbourne is cheaper than driving, and at least you'll get a seat compared to the train. While service in the Dash 8 is basic, the crews have always been excellent. Wouldn't pay the $250+ cash fare each way ever.

    Ask The Pilot

    I had no idea this guy was a professional pilot. I was religiously watching his videos around the the Oroville Dam spillway crisis. He seemed like a journalist, including asking questions at press conferences. He has a good grasp of crisis responses.

    Qantas Points Auction

    This is why having a lower value points auction is a good idea. I am reluctant to ever let my points balance get that high unless there is something specific I want to use them for

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

    Rang this morning to cancel a Qantas Ultimate. When asked said that reason was the annual fee didn't offer good value. Was offered 70,000 points, or a wavier of the annual fee, or a downgrade. Took the points. Low spend, less than $10, 000 in the last year, but I have been carrying a balance...

    Ask The Pilot

    The Qantas evacuation flight has made me ponder something. Would pilots feel comfortable flying large jets into an airport you had never flown into or simulated before? I know the Qantas flight went into Exmouth, which I'm sure is an airport that appears in the simulator, just imagining a weird...
