Getting spending up on credit cards to gain FF points

[Shanye2233]

Thanks for that tip

Best tip this thread is going to get, I can tell you that!

In public anyway

Sometimes in life you have to grind and grind till the chips go your way.

However in life we get further when cooperate. There is no pure altruism but rather reciprocal altruism.

What month will the Reserve Bank be offering fresh bank notes on a credit card? I always seem to be a week too late to get a zillion points

In exchange for your information i can offer advice for free hotel stays or cheaper routing with award bookings. :idea::idea::idea:

Thank you all for your help once again.

Sharing means giving as well as receiving and a lot of requests have gone unanswered by you in various posts in the past, that has not been well received I suspect and is unlikely to result in further credit being extended by the knowledge bank by some.

AFF is quite open in what is shared generally, but things need to be kept under the radar at times in order for transactions or spikes in purchases don't draw the attention of the hand that is feeding you!

What you seek is actually being talked about on AFF currently, by people who I suspect are treading quietly and going softly softly rather than emulating a bull in a china shop hogging the Eftpos machine .

fly syd to - xx_ for 17.5k in J to Europe

Shanye I know exactly what this is (you're not the only one who finds these things out) and can assure you it is far too difficult and risky for most of the AFF community to ever attempt because you havent thought through the actual process.

 

[Shanye2233]

The process ? I have already used many of these 17.5k in J for Europe and the states. I'm guessing you know the easy ones and not the ones were you actually end up at the destination. As long as you keep thinking about the process il keep flying .


and markis I searched for a bull in a china shop but nothing returned. And I have help many people in the past ask around

I don't think you need to look far

The spirit of AFF is to start a thread with a tip or offer with the expectation of nothing in return IMHO.

 

[Shanye2233]

I thought it could be also useful to ask for advice no ?

And usually in return for advice nothing is asked for back where I have received 6 PM's about hotels and routines yet no advice for me

The yanks are running around buying visa gift cards and have the advantage of 5x points promo shopping at office supplies and i cant find Sqaut.

Oh, I wish we had some of the opportunities that have existed in the US. What opportunities that have existed here have tended to be a bit fleeting, and still have some cost (cat food anyone?). Opportunites where the return outweights the cost are rare, and the reality is you just need to keep your eyes open on the board and be prepared to strike quickly.

If I see a good point earning opportunity, open to all, then I will generally be posting it here, rather than sending it to a select group of people. Having said that, sometimes they may be oblique references!

Of course, if some information is shared with me in confidence, then I won't be posting it here.....

if y want to look at it that way, considering most people have helped you and have never received anything in return, this would seem to be a bit of a case of returning the favour for previous acts of assistance

now is your time to shine

 

[blackcat20]

bah, nevermind....to slow!

 

[oz_mark]

I just highlighted, right-click and "search with google"... (and probably should have read further before repeating such an awesome "tip")

Sounds like a life changing tip

(I wonder if IE will get a search with Bing option)

I don't think anyone who has helped me hasn't received something back in return. But again this is not in the spirit of the AFF . It's to share ideas and provide helpful advice .
I did a lot of orders from petsmart and donations of 20 cents for a bonus of 250miles per transaction and got zero . I do my research and not asking for hand outs or spoon feed . But I think if someone knows what I'm talking about and posts it in a public forum by Monday the deal with be dead just like the hotel deals that go on FT .

Already does. Can also select Google as your search engine of choice in IE so you can right click a selection of text and "search Google" for it.

 

[SQ421]

There's excessive discussion involving a fair few people who've telegraphed their intentions to achieve an outcome very similar to what you are after, and to be honest, if you haven't found it yet, you aren't looking hard enough.

That's all I'll say.

I've sometimes gotten a laugh out of Shayne2233 and some of the zany antics he gets up to... And trying to figure if he's legit... And some people on AFFs responses to him...

You know what they say about laughter being the best medicine...

You were too quick for me! I realised someone has already mentioned it so I deleted The less clicks the better!

Hmm, I'll need to get this SOE deployed version of IE updated. Should only take 3 years or so....
