• Lucky with the bonus offers. The only ones I get is like $220 spend 4  times and get 10k points. I do have 4 households linked to one card so they prob think we spend heaps on groceries per year. What's the redemption level for EY F? I've always redeemed CX J return Aust-Europe for...

  • Darren, how is it 4 points per $ now? Flybuys is $2000 for 870 points. So isn't it 3.435 points per $?

    Jay, the same RTW fare can be booked via CX Asia Miles programme for 110k in Y or 160k in J for up to 25000 miles(no brainer to pick J over Y). 25000-35000 miles is charged as 130k Y/190k J. In addition, CX rules are more lax - they don't count surface segments, only what is actually flown.

  • Domestically I see losers for routes between 600-750 miles and 1200-1500 miles. 600-750: SC reduced from 15 to 10, 30 to 20 Example routes: SYD-ADL, BNE-TSV, ADL-CBR 1200-1500: SC reduced from 20 to 15, 40 to 30 Example routes: SYD-CNS, SYD-ASP

  • Also don't forget Cathay is only allowed to fly a total of 70 services per week to major Aust ports (I'm sure ADL is not included in the cap). Hence BNE is lumped together with PER for a total of 21 flights per week (3 daily flights)

  • Actually its the RBA that sets the credit card interchange fees and whether the surchage can be passed onto the customers. A few years back they changed the rules to allow the merchants to charge whatever they want to the customer for the use of credit/debit cards.The ACCC is more concerned about...

    I used this facility when I was at JFK back in Aug (off an SQ flight).I've only had my ESTA for a few months, but I did enter USA with an older ESTA that expired about 2yrs ago. I think I still had to meet the immigration official face to face at a booth, but with fewer questions asked (and also ...

  • You shouldn't have any issues. I was in the US mid-year and I have a rod in my lower leg (no med cert) - I've been checked with normal detectors and full body scanners, and never had a problem - the operator can clearly see it's within the bone and not external. Otherwise you can opt for a p...

  • Kunlun KVB at Level 18, Citigroup Centre, 2 Park Street. Give them a call on +61 2 8263 0188 to find out the latest rates. Ask for a visitor card/pass at lobby desk to get past lobby barriers.I've found them to have better exchange rates than any street foreign exchanges and also the bi...
