    BA Gold status for life

    GGL is like P1 vs Gold which is like WP. I don’t believe lifetime GGL exists but lifetime Gold does, so they could go for that if it’s realistic.

    Not had that experience or problem in many trips there! Can pretty much get away without cash in Japan now in many larger areas. Still wouldn’t want to be caught without some cash there, however. On the Cuba front, Bankwest credit and debit cards work at atms and shops last time I was there...

    Which Melbourne hotel has best Lounge

    Not many lounges in the Hh system are worth it, and non in Aus. I’d consider Sofitel maybe. TBH I’d prefer a nice dinner with the difference in cost.

    Sofitel Melbourne Buffet Breakfast Review?

    Sudoer with the maths. But also note opportunity cost of getting to next status level with ALL if that was a realistic possibility ;)

    Sofitel Melbourne Buffet Breakfast Review?

    Breakfast there is decent enough while not being to SE Asian massive spread standards, generally. I wouldn’t pay $64 for 1 but figure $32 for 2 would be worth it

    Changes to NAB Rewards Signature card: No forex fees + earn rate changes

    Nope; it will be pretty much mid market rate/spot rate. Generally within about 0.3%. 1713521020 Yeah, this is what the card will be. They don’t set the conversion rates. I’m not sure why so many on this site still don’t understand that. Foreign exchange fee free cards are the best deal you can get!
