Card payment sucharges banned in Australia from 2026

churners don't only earn from credit card spend or SUBs, and most accumulate more than they need. If they are true points hunters they have many other options to accumulate points. So i wouldn't be expecting come Oct for there to miraculously be more CR availability.

Not ‘miraculously’ more… but as I was musing… even 1 more seat would be welcome given how rare they are. All it takes is for the one seat you need to be there!

Those earn rates are brutal, so bad. Points keep getting devalued, and now 0.75 points per $1 for 5k? Basically nothing.

I will probably switch from credit cards to revolut, better value for money for their new most premium plan.

in all honesty the most savvy always find seats or know how to, in reality i think it will just be more for them. those that like to book less than 6 months out but not last minute, they'll still be just as difficult to find.
