InterContinental Sydney opens elegant Club lounge
Aug 07, 2022, 05:56 PMA good move forward. Intercontinental Sydney had become lack-luster and Club invitations were never forthcoming for Platinum members, so I switched to the much more exciting and generous Sofitel Darling Harbour.

Australia-New Zealand flights set for likely September start

"We're making some changes to your Coles Mastercard" - in other words, we are...
Jan 19, 2018, 06:41 PMPity about Coles stooping to Citbank. I've had mostly bad experiences with Citi. A pretty ugly organisation. Anyway, one less card I need to monitor.

Nov 23, 2017, 02:34 PMIt's perfectly normal! I'd never risk JQ for any travel at all. I learnt that lesson 10 years ago.

I've been a Rydges Priority member for some time now, but ha
Jun 10, 2016, 12:52 PMI have been a member of this programme for some time but never seem to receive any recognition or rewards. Their programme is not as generous as others.
