Hi there
There is an article in todays Australian, which amongst other things mentions this :
``People love a freebie and will work hard to get the best deal when it's free,'' says Clifford Reichlin of frequentflyer.com.au, a website providing free advice on frequent flyer points to Australian-based travellers. ``Selling points has become an important moneymaker for airlines,'' Reichlin tells me. ``Most points are earned on credit cards. For example, it's estimated airlines sell points for about 1c each. So, to get the 17,000 points needed for a return economy ticket from Sydney to Melbourne, you need to spend $170 on the card. But you can use cash to buy a ticket costing a lot less that $170, meaning the airline is making more money selling the points than selling a cheap ticket.''
Can someone let me know which card gives me 17000 points for each $170 spent?
Cheers
