But seriously.....
So yesterday I did what I swore I never would. Applied for the Amex/Qantas card, greenlighted instantly and now I'm an "adult" (at 44 years old).
The intention being to purchase 2x SYD-JFK tickets and burn the remainder of the 3k spend on fuel, groceries, etc. As some may know I'm an apprentice in this game so am sitting at a lowly 15k Qantas points so really wanted a decent shot in the arm as far as boosting them up. Coming up this week is my first ever milage run SYD>MEL>CHC>BRS>SYD which I'm excited about......mostly because I'll be spotting at a couple of new airports.
Later in Feb is a trip to India/Nepal but sadly booked prior to becoming FF cough so I'm flying Airasia X. Dom in India is all on Jet Airways thus far and hopefully I can transfer points once they post. After booking accom via Booking.com I received an email from Jet stating that if I booked accom via their site I could earn points after my stay.....of course I summarily cancelled all hotels and rebooked through them.
Today whilst searching through the archives here I came across a thread suggesting Kaligo as an awesome booking option for points, checked and it looks great....but for next time, I don't want to rebook everything AGAIN!!
Also, again due to the archive, I've been writing hotel reviews like a crazy man over at Hotel Check. 150 Etihad Guest points per accepted review!!
Anyway, this was just a thank you to all for the extraordinary info you guys share so freely. I feel like I'm finally moving forward with this.
