    Earn points on Bank Transfers

    After a lot of back and forth where they requested the receiving account numbers and other information, they said it was a technical issue. I personally think they are declining transactions they believe are going to the credit card holders personal account and this is the start of the end for...

    QFF Bonus Status Credits/Points gift on back of Aug 2023 profit

    How much is a toasted sanga and sitting in the QF club really worth? We came to the realisation we usually go to the airport later so we don’t have to be in the lounge and when we are, it’s just, well, mediocre. Of course there are times between flights but we also have PP membership that we use...

    Wife and I both 75/5000 with 24,862 kms. Both chose the 5000. QF Gold with a March anniversary, however made the decision to not chase QF status earlier this year and happy to slip to silver and (probably) eventually bronze. Would have retained if we hadn't flown with the competition for the...

    ING Bank Dropping 5 Free Overseas ATM Withdraw Benefit from 1/8/23

    That’s a shame, we were recently slugged $16au withdrawing euros out of an ATM in Istanbul that was rebated by ING. It must be hitting their bottom line. Shame because they have gutted what was once a great product and I will have to look at alternatives.

    Do I have a ticket?

    Had the same problem. Normally tickets come through straight away but when I booked during the 30% promotion for domestic flights, no tickets arrived, just a PNR and hotel promotion. Because I loathe calling Qantas, I let it sit and the e-tickets arrived without intervention this week. You will...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    We are a 777 so it is J>F, but I'm sure it will be just as nice! Was $1100ea and considering there are only 4 seats in F we jumped on it real quick. All our other flights are on A350 so no F at all. Thanks for the tips on the honeymoon cake.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    So...we just jumped on an offer to upgrade our J flights on Sunday to first (it's our belated honeymoon). We have a 4 hours stopover in Singapore before our onward flight to Istanbul back in J. The Singapore airlines website says lounge access is determined by class of travel for your departing...

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    @AFF Editor Don't think the 21 day max duration length is accurate for Commbank. The PDS states diamond and ultimate cards have 12 month max length duration on activated cover. Not sure about their other cards.

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    Further updates: After writing an unflattering review on productreview.com.au, it gave me the option to send the review to a Company Rep for mediation before publishing. I had my claim assessed and approved the following day. After the money hit my account I still published my review. I wonder...

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    Another real world experience.... Returned from the US a couple of weeks ago and one of my internal AA flights was cancelled out of Dallas due to summer storms (along with 400 other flights that so easy for the insurance company to verify) Was not able to get on to a rebooked flight until 26...

    So what is the consensus of the AFF brains' trust on this? GDA380, like you I was OS and just returned. I have an email from 13 May making my selection and want to apply for the virgin money flyer card. Did you end up applying? Not sure if it is worth the hassle debating the point with VA if the...

    Qatar J seats zeroed out 72 hours before departure?

    Thanks! I honestly wouldnt have cared if it was 2-2-2 so as long as I am in business. It changed so many time over the past couple of months. I suspect long haul flights to America and Australia get Q suites priority. Pushing back now. Qld prawns for appetiser and wa crayfish for main. Cheers.
