When booking with Qantas points, I usually pay for the associated cash component using cash (Zip specifically to avoid credit card fee's). This seems like the best use of points. The way Virgin presents the cost of a ticket doesn't match what I end up paying during checkout. For example, on a...

I have quite a lot of QFF, VFF and SQ points (I figured it would be easiest to post in the Qantas forum though I realise it will differ by airline, etc.) I'd like to take a flight with a friend to Europe who is a much less fortunate situation than myself and therefore use some of my points from...

Frustratingly, Singapore Airlines does not state a weight limit for the second carry-on item on an economy ticket, the personal item. The phrasing on the website suggests that the personal item is in addition to the carry-on, so presumably this means that the personal item weight is also in...

I haven't been able to login to the Qatar website in the last fortnight and have tried different browsers, computers, Internet connections. It seems to be the website, terrible as it is, or something with my account. The new 2FA and captcha are not helping. Has anyone else had issues?

Since I started churning I have been renting and never had to show any evidence of money spent on rent. I will be settling on a property (PPOR) in a few weeks; I stopped churning when I started to look for a place to buy so I only had one credit card. I am hoping to apply for another credit...

Some banks Qantas cards don't impact the exclusion period of their own rewards program cards. It's not clear to me if Westpac is one of these banks. I am excluded on the Altitude Qantas line until later this year but want to see if I can apply for one of the Altitude Rewards cards before then...

Has anyone had experience using the Citibank "Luxury Transfer Service" that comes with some of their credit cards? It looks like it doesn't need to be for a transfer to the airport and could be used in place of a taxi for a trip known ahead of time? What has your experience been?

Flights I am looking at from AU --> EU in May 2023 are waitlisted for the dates I am interested in. I am flexible up to a week and can fly any of the times but it's either 47.5k KF one-way in economy with a waitlist or paying 80k for the next economy level up that has no additional value to me...

I would assume that even if you have gold status, if you're flying on a non-star alliance airline, you won't be able to access the perks such as lounge access, priority check-in (with economy ticket), priority security line (where available), etc.? Perhaps there are times when you can get away...

Since starting to chase airline points, I haven't looked into the possibility of using them to book hotels. Is this a possibility with healhy balances of QFF, VFF and KrisFlyer points? If it is, I imagine it won't offer the point value of an international business class ticket but is it much...

I feel like this is a very "well duh" kind of comment but I'll ask it none the less :). I want to redeem points for an economy flight from EU --> AU. If I obtain gold status via the HSBC credit card deal a few months later, I assume the benefits of the gold status will apply to this previously...

The FAQ details the relevant buttons to mash on the website in order to apply for the linked Diners Club card but after hitting them I get a "You are not currently eligible". Has anyone managed to get the Diners Club card? It's not clear what you need to be eligible.

I am 10 SCs short of Silver which would be helpful for the additional luggage allowance for a flight next year! They will expire in the next fortnight (unless I may be entitled to an extension thanks to Points Club membership; I'm not 100% on this?). Are there any options such as the previous...

With uBank buying 86400 last year, I figure it's worth throwing this referral in. They also have (from 1st Sept) the highest interest rate @ 2.85% on the savings account, besides ING, but with much less hassle than ING. You just need to deposit $200 / month to get this rate...

I started churning pretty consistently last year and then in April had several rejections so decided to sit things out for a while. My salary is plenty high and expenses are low so I suspect it's the several credit enquiries over a short period that resulted in the rejections. Does anyone have...

I have accounts with most of the credit report front-end websites and as far as Open credit card info reported, they are correct besides the Equifax report from WISR. Credit Simple (illion) = Correct Credit Savvy (Experian) = Correct WISR (Experian) = Correct WISR (Equifax) = Not Correct; shows...

I've just signed up for the Virgin Money Go transaction and associated Virgin Money Boost Saver savings account. The appeal of this for me is the reward points offered for BPAY payments for things I can't push through my credit cards, without incurring a fee (rent and a few other things in my...

For years I had a 28 Degree's credit card and had lowered the limit to $2000. I closed this credit card before I started churning however to increase chances of getting approved for a new credit card. There are some cashback deals with 28 Degree's now so I was considering applying for a new...

I have a decent QFF points balance and if possible, I am hoping to transfer some points for a Dutch friend to use on KLM. Qantas and KLM have a partnership however it's not clear to me whether this extends to transferring points from QFF to KLMs points program. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've seen a few comments that mention that if you're rejected for a Citibank card there is a "window" of several (I've seen 3 and 6 mentioned) months where any new application will automatically be rejected. I applied for one of the Coles cards which I believe it actually Citibank. I had a $15k...
