    Citibank Signature replaced wih Visa Infinite (but not Prestige)

    Got one here too. Same number, expiry and 3 digits on the back. Makes me wonder why I need to call up to activate it?

    Qantas online Mall, cookies and points

    Did a few purchases through eBay in Nov and all but 1 has been posted on my activity statement. Looks like they only awarded 2 points/$1 instead of the 4 and only purchases under $50 were processed correctly. The missing one was the largest purchase at $1000. :rolleyes:

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I didn't check Iberia via Madrid. We are visiting relatives in London so that's why we are flying out of LHR. Was trying to look for flights into Las Vegas, but like I said before, there's limited seats to Washington, Boston...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread The initial reason for flying from west to east was because most of the shopping will be done in US and Japan so it made sense to avoid carrying the heavy luggage around till the last part of the journey. Europe will be...

    re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Very good suggestions, might have to think about it more now. Operator did check most of the US airports, SFO, PHX etc. nothing is available on those dates. Only towards the end of the month. Unless I drop Seoul from the...

    re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread We haven't book any accommodations yet so can definitely chop and change the flights. If I do change my second segment to CDG-LHR-EWR, does that mean I won't be able to stop over in London since it's a transit? We have...

    re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread After lurking here for many years, I finally accumulated enough points to try and book a oneworld award for me and my wife.

    Family points pooling

    How about transferring points across different cards? I currently have a silver mastercard and a gold visa. Would be good to pool the points together.

    28° Mastercard Cash Advances while overseas [No more free cash advances from 1/1/14]

    Not an issue with the merchants but their anti fraud program. Some merchants are classified as high risk so regardless whether or not your account has been flagged as travelling overseas the transaction will still decline. Then the card is temporarily blocked. Try asking the fraud team to...

    28° Mastercard Cash Advances while overseas [No more free cash advances from 1/1/14]

    I'm in New York at the moment and the past several days have been hell. Transactions were being declined randomly. Called the fraud team but you have to wait till they are open for it to be helpful. So unless you have a backup card, be prepared to be very embarrassed. Nothing consistent about...

    8hrs transit in LAX and JFK, what to do?

    First time flying to the US, but its work related. On the way to Dallas I have an 8 hrs transit in LAX and then on the way back another 8 hrs transit in JFK. Both on sundays, so what should I do? Is there enough time to wander out of the airport and do some sight seeing/shopping?

    Citibank Dining - Free Wine Offer

    Are the bonus points only for citirewards and not those who opt for qantas frequent flyers? I went to Din Tai Fung twice in April and on both April and May statements, there's no mention of bonus points. The amount of points transferred is roughly equal to each month's outstanding balance

    CitiBusiness promo points offer

    Same here. Even worst is the spend has to be on my wife's card and not mine (I'm the additional card holder) and everytime we buy/pay for something she's too lazy to pay.

    What to do with Citibank points - I want to change to Qantas direct earn

    The other option is try and convince citibank to convert the account to a citigold business card. If they do, the points will remain and you'll have the options of transfer points to qff in blocks of 10,000 points
