Credit Card Offers CommBank Ultimate Awards Card: 100K award points – potentially fee free

[MG1]

There can’t be many card users who are spending $10k of non AUD on this card in a given month, let alone every month. My own spend profile seems to net me around 4000-5000 QF points a month.

I used $10k as an example as it was a nice round number to work with. I agree that most people, me included, likely wouldn't spend that much in non-AUD purchases per month.

If I downgrade to Smart Awards, it would be fee free (we'll always spend $2k per month), but I would lose the two free DragonPass lounge passes - which isn't much of a loss.

Open a World Debit Mastercard shortly before travelling? - two Dragon Pass entries are issued instantly - then switch back to a normal debit card once back.
$10/month per card.

Very cool find!

Having said that, Mrs BJReplay has decreed (and I can't say that I disagree) that future travel will be in J, after our last trip was in redemption Y, so the need for lounge access will decrease in any case.

Asiana Y was good (surprisingly decent legroom, good sliding seat-base recline), and ICN-NRT and return were A380s where we snaffled upper-deck A/B and J/K seats at T-80, so pleasant enough, but MEL-ICN and ICN-SYD were A350s, and 9 hours in Y was too much for either of us.

Free flights were fine, but SWMBO has spoken, and I agree with the sentiment.
