    Building up a credit balance on Platinum Charge

    Interesting approach. That could work I suppose. I can still use that cash then to pay off the charges on the Amex plat. And then gradually pay off the BT amounts over time.

    Building up a credit balance on Platinum Charge

    There’s also the Qantas Premium card which offers both 80k points bonus and balance transfer (this is like crack for me), but to get the bonus points you need to spend $3k/90 days, but there’s no interest free days if you’ve got a balance transfer amount. But if you put the card in credit by 3k...

    Building up a credit balance on Platinum Charge

    Hi folks, just wondering if anyone has thoughts or experience doing the following ... this is a bit convoluted. I like keeping as much cash as possible against home loan in an offset account. From some research tonight, there are still dozens of low fee balance transfer cards out there, some...

    Access to AMEX lounge without physical card?

    Ok, interesting. I guess it differs from one bank to the next. I’ve got multiple PP’s from Banks in Singapore and they’ve all advised or already have gone to app only.

    Access to AMEX lounge without physical card?

    Priority Pass is only on the app these days, I’m not sure they issue physical cards anymore Unsure about Amex lounge. Maybe they have a way of looking you up if you don’t have the card on your person.

    Meet me in the SQ Lounge thread

    Managed to pull off one wife (guest) + 3 cute daughters into the KF Gold lounge in Singapore back in January. Economy tickets, I’m the only one with KF Gold status. The kids still ask “dad why do we have to do the cute face thing to get into the lounge?” They weren’t busy, it was about 12pm...

    Priority Pass lounge Ngurah Rai Bali

    W Hotel in Bali rocked, they let us stay in the villa till 6pm which was great. Smooth ride to the airport. Well we ended up in the “Premier” lounge which was included for me as an SIA KrisFlyer gold + guest, and had to spring $50 bucks total for the kids. We hung out there for an hour before...

    Priority Pass lounge Ngurah Rai Bali

    Thanks for the advice Austman. Why would I want to …. Late flight out of Bali (9.45pm) and potentially a lot of time to kill between hotel check out and then. With 3 kids under 10. Never been to Bali before so wasn’t sure of the options.

    Priority Pass lounge Ngurah Rai Bali

    Hi all. Looking at international departure lounge options from Bali. The Priority Pass app advertises the “Concordia Lounge” but also notes it is in the Domestic Departures area. Does anyone know if you can use this lounge before an international departure?

    Qantas to release thousands of Classic Reward seats in Y, PE, J, F on 24 Feb 2023 around 11am

    Can’t believe reading this thread, it’s like torture cough. I feel sorry for everyone who has tried valiantly and lost today. Qantas should have restricted this release of seats to only their FF members for at least a few days or a week, before releasing into the OneWorld network. The idea...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    68,500 ea so 342,500 total plus $360 SGD in taxes. At the moment this is $12k to buy so I’m happy with that saving! My wife had a few points built up in her account so her ticket is one itinerary, then me + 3 kids on the other itinerary. But I could have ticketed all 5 on the one. Funnily...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Managed my best redemption yet. 5 x I Business Saver tickets SIN-SYD in late June next year SQ221. 2 adults, 3 children. Had been eyeing it off for a couple of weeks and decided on the weekend to transfer a bunch of points in to grab them, was sure they were going to disappear. This flight...
