Pierre - Relocated from Paris to Sydney

[pycorre]

Hi there,

Just relocated from France to Sydney (Maroubra) as a Regional Service manager helping with the instruments promotion and sales.
My zone covers all main cities in Australia, New Zealand and extends to Singapore, Taiwan and occasionally Japan.
I am looking for the best deals and open for discussion at beer o'clock.

My first question (before browsing the site) will be about my Platinum Awards credit card from Commonwealth bank: is it the best deal (price/awards) for a frequent flyer ?

Also some quick facts:
IHG platinum
Krisflyer gold
Flyingblue silver
Quantas bronze (not for long)
Virgin red (not for long)

Cheers,
Pierre

Welcome pycorrie to the AFF place of learning.

Maroubra eh' spent the 1st 40 years my life there living at the beach, nothing like a nice cold beer or wine at the Maroubra beach pub watching the lovelies pass by, the pies from across the road are to die for (my old mate John had it for many years and the current owners have kept on with his exact recipes). For nights out join the Seals Club.

Welcome to AFF pycorre - I can't offer any advice on the credit card but Beer o'clock always sounds good
My shout if we ever cross paths in a lounge

Welcome pycorre - sorry my French is atrocious so I won't even attempt .

Pity you have to start the QF and VA run to status from Bronze

I'm sure you'll find plenty of advice on AFF

Wow you are so reactive !
Thank you Hvr, Clazman, Limewood, Steady and QF WP for your warm greetings.
You guys created a lot of materials here ! I am currently browsing the forum to find my infos.

Limewood, I will follow your advices. I am living 1 block from the pub.

The first thing i do when visiting my sons is get some of those delicious pies and go to the pub for a coldie with them, enjoy .

I'd have to say over the years the best thing I've ever come across here on AFF is buying miles from US airlines, and I can say with our doubt my good lady has become very accustomed to the pointy end of the plane and of course the lounges too.
