Thank you so much @sudoer, amazing 🙏 No more confusion about our whereabouts, brilliant!

Thanks @tdimdad for the congrats! 🙏 I was lucky in that we were more or less alone in the smaller biz cabin (SIA crew was as always great). Thanks also for the breakdown, that's most helpful! I was thinking along similar lines as I don't think our flight would've made it to the next time zone...

Sorry @Sunnyj, it never came to fruition as Westpac denied my application (very confused as to why, but that's another story) and thus I only went with Virgin.

One year ago, I got engaged on a Singapore Airlines flight between Houston and Manchester. I'm now trying to figure out where exactly we were and what the local time was where the plane was at the time of engagement (as I'm not sure whether we got engaged on the 11th or 12th local time, the...

Has anyone figured out whether one can get multiple 30k bonuses? I'm thinking of both the Westpac Platinum and the Virgin Flyer Card but hope to confirm that the mult-bonus is available before applying. cc: @Amanad78

Thanks @Happy Dude, searched the thread but couldn't really find what I was looking for. Will head to good old Google instead to figure out if Personal contributions have any downside vs Salary sacrifice.

Actually, if this will be a problem for credit card approvals, would it then not make sense to do Personal super contributions (instead of salary sacrifice)? Are there any real downsides to choosing Personal contributions? From what I understand, the tax savings will be the same...

Thanks @Dr Ralph and @turnipapple! Yikes, that's not what I was hoping to hear. I'll crunch the numbers to see whether it makes sense to revise my plans (e.g. do a 50% sacrifice and/or spread out the sacrifice to months later in the FY).

Does anyone have experience with how salary sacrificing affects the ability to be approved for credit cards? I'm planning to sacrifice 100% of my salary for Super for the next 4 months (I have a lot of catch-up concessional contributions to be done). I've never had problems getting approved...

Am I right in that it's only the application that needs to be done between 6 November and 17 December 2023, not the spend?

I'm flying the QR 988 flight next week on an AA business award (starting in Stockholm) and was hoping to hear if anyone with a ticketed arrival in Adelaide has managed to end their trip in Melbourne? @frequentflyer91 , did you perhaps get a positive response from the ground staff in Barcelona...

I'm about to return to Melbourne from Europe with 3k in EUR cash. What's the best place to convert them to AUD without too much currency loss? Airport FX trader (probably not), specific local exchange in Aus, local bank...? Thanks

I'm trying to re-link my accounts but after clicking through from Qatar, the sign-in page of BA sends the OTP to an old German mobile number that hasn't been registered in BAs system for over 6 months (this is also confirmed by BA). I've been back and forth with BA for months without any...

I hold the fee-free Amex Hilton card since 3 years back and would now like to apply for the 60k Green, but having trouble... 1. What's the best way to apply for someone who has a FICO (775) but no SSN?? 2. When trying to apply as logged in under my US account, it asks me for SSN "Please enter...

Available award seats – fees can't be paid with cash? I've found some business award seats from Europe to Aus with Qatar for 121k one way per seat. However, when I try to book the seats, the system automatically chooses to use all my points for the taxes and surcharges (making it 244,200 per...

Partner award bookings When searching for flights as close as possible to next Xmas within the 330-day limit, the system shows that there is availability for the first "greyed out" day (see Fri, 15 Dec). This is the same for all ex-EU departure cities I've searched. Is the 'Available' tag a...

Thanks, will see if I dare try applying via GT directly and overcome the pop-up obstacle that way, or if put some spend on my Hilton card for a later sign up of the Amex gold via a referral link.

Very helpful, thank you. The card hasn't been used since receiving the bonus points, so I would think that's the reason.

Wow, thank you for the link. Feels like something out of the Twilight Zone!

I just tried going through the Resy link. Filled out my details while being logged in under my US Amex account. Their preliminary decision was: "Lunne, you are not eligible to receive the welcome offer. Would you like to proceed?" Then the system allows you to withdraw the preliminary...
