I've tried to change the email associated with my BAEC account recently. Thought nothing more of it. Went to try and spend some Avios on a flight last night and denied access because I had not 'verified' my email. Have gone through an excruciating process many times, re-send verification...

My wife and I are travelling Emirates for the first time. We’re travelling Business Class having booked using QF points I notice with commercial airfares that some Business Class airfares do not allow Lounge access. How do I know if my fare allows access. It was a Classic Reward and I can’t...

Horse has probably bolted, but just seeking a bit of info on the claim process We have only recently started taking out travel insurance as we've got older but, frankly and naively, didn't put too much thought into it because we didn't expect ever to claim against it - I know, I know .... And...

Can’t find a specific reference in the T&Cs but does anyone know if you earn the full 2.25pts on purchased car insurance (with GIO)? The Qantas Titanium card refers to ‘government-like’ companies and actually refers to insurance. Was thinking that if Amex use the government earn of 1:1 then...

Has anyone used / tried the investment feature (share purchase) in the Revolut App? Any dp? Pros/cons?

Setting up FF accounts for Mrs V and myself. The website seems incredibly 'clunky' and unstable. Has anyone had any experience redeeming miles for a trip? Any difficulties? We expect to be travelling separately. Most of the points are in my name. Is it possible for me to book a flight in my...

Looking for recommendations - without providing financial advice, obviously 😉😜 - for an Australian bank Having all sorts of issues with CommBank. Bureaucratic, insufferably conservative with credit card limits, etc etc etc. Applied for an increase in my CC limit today and, despite a $400k+...

For those of you with a UK Amex, that pay by DD, I received this email earlier today in respect of my BA Premium Given that all UK Amex are credit cards these days (including the Platinum, I guess they’ll be rolling this out to all their cards

I note from The Times today that Revolut has been granted a banking licence I've been a fan of Wise for quite some time. Is there any benefit to Revolut when compared to Wise? Does it, for example, provide banking details (sort code, account number etc) when you have money stored in foreign...

This from 'The Atlantic' newspaper .... Not sure about the Aus or UK Platinum but one of the advertised benefits of the US one is linking the card to your Resy account to get 'exclusive' access to restaurant bookings. Whilst I am conflicted, for the reasons the journalist mentioned, I have just...

I have a couple of BA ViewTag electronic bag tags that were introduced in 2019 I was just looking at how to clear the data from a broken tag before I throw it out and it seems that the Company that makes the tag no longer exists (at least their website doesn't) and BA appears to have purged all...

Does anyone have any recommendations for an airport hotel in Lisbon - thinking Bonvoy, IHG, Accor, Hilton. Can’t see any in their Apps other than a Holiday Inn Express which is not really my style. Am I missing anything?

For those of you with this card, I received an email from the BAEC today advising the following

So, is there ever a time when this error message is not displayed on the Qantas Money iOS (iPhone) app? Had the app for a couple of weeks and it’s been permanently displayed but bears no relationship to how the app is actually functioning on the day

In light of the changes to SQ redemptions etc etc i’m looking to move to using QR I have BAEC and obviously that works seamlessly given that both carriers are OW But if I travel domestically in Australia, and wishing to avoid the use of QF, does anyone know if I can registe my QR PC number on...

I have the Platinum Reserve credit card with the (for now) grandfathered $400 travel credit. I don’t use the card and keep it only to retain the travel credit. It has an unnecessarily large credit limit (Especially so given that I don’t use the card) If I were to reduce the credit limit, does...

Just opened a QRPC account yesterday and linked it to my BAEC account. Is there any Australian credit card that transfers at a reasonable rate to QR? Amex Plat doesn't. Whilst the US Gold doesn't, it does transfer to the BAEC but that would be a slow old process. I believe that the Commbank...

Just used the app to book an Avis car in the UK for a week early next year. After having hit the ‘Enter’ button, a pop-up appeared saying that I may be charged an FTP fee. This is apparently a Frequent Traveller Programme fee. My Avis account is linked to my BAEC account. There’s limited info...

Looking at QR as an option to fly London to Singapore next year (cash not redemption). The reviews seem mixed at best and they do seem very 'rigid' in their policy application. But specifically, I was wondering whether it is possible to book LHR-DOH in F and then DOH-SIN in J as a single fair...

This website appeared as an advert in my social media feed https://www.ionlyflyfirstclass.com/ i was intrigued and had a look. The Trustpilot reviews seem universally - but improbably - positive. The fares look competitive i vaguely recall reading something about this some time ago...
