All About Foreign Credit Cards

I didn't know you could file an alternative address in Australia...interesting

This is a good idea. Is your account address still US? As in you just asked them to send you a new one to Aus?

Just let them know you are travelling overseas .

Last month Wise Australia sent an “Your USD account details are changing” email. Because of the change, I had to manually link the new checking account for my Amex US repayment. Interesting the US Bank is now Community Federal Savings Bank, replacing the previous Evolve Bank and Trust.

Just saw the article about Diners Club closing down here Down Under ( https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/diners-club-australia-closing-down/ ). Reminds me of the Diners Club card that I hold, a foreign one issued by ICBC. It won't be affected by the change here for sure, but I hardly use it anyway, more for collection purposes as a cardaholic.

The news also reminds me of Australia Post's notice earlier this year: "Payment by Diners Club no longer accepted".

Hilton Aspire card holders - how are you guys using the quarterly flight credit? ($50 per quarter) - I'm just banking it on united. Is there any better way?

Pay taxes applicable to reward flight bookings with Qantas or any other airline. Or according to some sources, shopping on Qantas Wine, Qantas Hotels etc will also trigger. This $50 quarterly credit is so much more flexible than before, so it's really not advisable to bank it on United.
