MEL-SYD 4th Sept 2023. Breakfast panini with bacon and egg.

75 SC’s Thankyou for my cut of the 2bn profit….

With this offer if booking a domestic business flight and then changing that flight date/time after the offer ends will the DSC’s still be applied? (Same booking)

Has anyone successfully managed to swap from the Ultimate card to the new Smart Awards card after this change? I wonder if I can “downgrade” or have to do a new application entirely.

I see this happen sometimes and I have no idea why it happens. Specifically for 8th June 2023 I see zero award or upgrade seats available for the evening (except for the last flight of the day - no thanks) for SYD-MEL. Looking at “what’s on in Melbourne” I don’t see anything significant that...

If I were to accept this offer I’d be in staff travel group E. Whatever that means. So I assume Qantas’ tiers board staff in their group order and then other airlines (only Jetstar?) board next?

Still, you must enjoy the fact that you probably have so many airline and hotel points that when you go on a holiday it’s mostly all free?

So I guess there aren’t that many P1’s willing to share what they do for work 😅

I do wonder about those employers. I guess it’s one of the other perks of being a senior executive. I knew a big telco exec who was P1 due to flying MEL-HKG often and MEL-SYD nearly every week. Makes you wonder if that person really had to be there in those locations in person. Maybe that’s...

Did you enjoy this lifestyle of being away from home at weeks at a time?

There seem to be a lot of people with very high status on this forum (naturally). For me it’s hard enough to just try to aspire to Qantas Gold one day. For the people that have top tier statuses, like Platinum One, I assume you travel every week? What do you do for work or what is your...

I have a family member who is a tenured Qantas employee who’s offered to add me to their staff travel. I’ve heard that the way it works is that you’ll be on standby when you get to the airport so the flight isn’t guaranteed. The tip being never book the last flight of the day. Just wondering...

Thanks so much for your help everyone! The specific flight is MEL-ADL QF683 on 14 Apr 2023

I recently booked economy MEL-ADL for April 2023 and requested a points upgrade to business. It’s sitting in “upgrade requested”. I have had flights in the past that went through immediately when I requested an upgrade but this did not. I guess it’s one of those now we have to wait until a few...

It constantly says “connection error” when I open it because it thinks the FaceId has been inactive for too long. Often I find myself force restarting the app so faceId reloads. I hate how you can’t get notifications per transaction. It generally doesn’t have a native iOS feel to it. Maybe I’ve...

I personally hated using the St George app after using the CBA app for so long. I know it’s not a business card but would you consider the CBA Ultimate Awards card? If you are using it overseas you get more points per dollar and no international transaction fees.

True but with a charge card it doesn’t appear on your credit report in a way where banks assume the maximum limit is used when you go for a loan.

I’m interested in the Amex platinum for the main reason that it doesn’t have a credit limit and that doesn’t affect what you could be offered for a loan in future. Generally I like the charge card concept. I always pay my balance in full. Since Amex isn’t accepted absolutely everywhere but you...

Is this some strange inner circle practice? I have honestly never heard of doing this until this post.

Have flown VA a few times in business domestic. I noticed for the meal option they have something like 4 to 5 meals available for each of the two options. When all 8 seats are full there is always a handful of people that only have one meal option available. The first time I flew they asked...
