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...

Just reported: [Paywalled] Sniip bill payment app in court stoush with Amex over $2m A lot of us use Sniip to pay BPAY bills via our Amex cards. I hope this doesn’t ruin the 1.5% agreement that Sniip has.
