I had a pending transaction that normally takes a week to settle that the pending amount was noted on the new NAB account.

Last few stays' information and points.

Just to wrap up my experience as ALL has now removed the suspension/banner. So as I said earlier, happened to noticed the 'suspension notice' banner on my account - overview on the ALL website (suspension notice was not visible on the ALL app). Use the Contact us link on the banner and ALL...

Just wondering whether anyone else has got a suspended account notification. For me I couldn't see it in the app, but I could see it by going to the ALL website and viewing my account (edit: account overview) There is a banner stating "Due to suspicious activity on your account and for...

Aussies win toss and send India in to bat first. India 0/30 after 4 overs

CWC2023 Semi final South Africa win toss and decide to bat first. Already work cut out for the Aussies

Thanks for the warning. So are you saying changing at home would be the best rate v money changer at MNL v ATM rate at MNL? I'm surprised as the 'norm' in SE Asia is to change over there. Did you get a better ATM rate in town? Wasn't Grab convenient at MNL? I think you can pay for Grab...

During a trip through a cash-preferred Asian country, I did a side by side same ATM cash withdrawal of Citi and uBank. Citi had the better actual rate. I did two debit card retail transactions (within the hour) and uBank happened to be minutely better. I also found out the actual rate...

Yes, 20 status nights in the account.

FYI Got an email this morning which looks like targeted email acknowledging those not getting 20 status nights and issue been fixed “I would like to assure you that we identified the issue and on 25 September, all of those members affected received their bonus 20 Status Nights in their account.”

Just a data point that I seem to be getting a difference in exchange rate on Citi - cash ATM withdrawal v retail transaction occurring within an hour of each other - about 0.5%-0.7% worse with cash. Annoyingly $1-2 per $300. In a cash preferred Asian country. PS Yes, checked against Mastercard...

In addition to everything else that has been discussed, I think the 4000 ALL rewards points for Traveller is a joining special for this month only - ie not for those renewing or at a different time. I think Traveller is normally A$249, Voyager is A$399 (or 12,000 ALL reward points I think)

Just my observation that this Members Private Sale (non-refundable) is sometimes more expensive than usual Stay Longer and Save (non-refundable) option.

Does it say somewhere what is the exchange rate being used? Something like "wholesale Visa rate"... This bank charges a fee for international ATMs (and international transaction fees) and then rebates it. There is no suggestion that the ATM operator fee is rebated (as pointed out by SydneySwan...

Not a customer, but based on my understanding its up there with the usual suspects as an option for withdrawing cash from an overseas ATM. When the CitiPlus account no longer has free access to the overseas Citi ATM network (and ING has dropped its ATM rebate), then it's pretty much a level...

Yes, agree. Since it seems the Citi card will possibly lose its access to the Citi network in three year time (?!), Citi, Macq, ING, etc will be on a "level" playing field in terms of cash withdrawals while overseas. This will then makes the choice much simpler, preferred card v Global...

The bottom of the Wiki of the list of countries is very useful, though starting to look more dated (one example was go to a bank that has Visa and allows Citi (Visa) over-the-counter to draw cash).

At times during this discussion (ie not by yourself) there are two issues being conflated: 1) third party ATM fee at non-network ATMs overseas 2) the actual exchange rate being used (Mastercard/Visa rate or some other rate or (in the case of Wise - interbank rate)) From what I have recalled...

I understood these deals were through a TA. Was just writing notes on what is a possible itinerary, booking classes, list of TAs to approach. I did try to use the OW beta booking - hence the East/West question
