Trying to see if I can reach the spend threshold for a targeted Virgin Australia AMEX Statement Credit (spend $150 get $30 back).
I'm about $10 short, so I might as well spend $10 to save $30 (net saving $20).
Anyone have any ideas?
The following ideas have already been explored/exhausted:
Thanks in advance :)
I'm not sure what you're saying..?
You go to the search field, and you literally type a space in and search for a blank character?
yep.
give it a go
I tried. I have no idea how this is supposed to work.

Not a bad idea and the fact there's a competition is a bonus too.
Cheapest I can find from a few foreign countries (mostly in Asia) seems to be New Zealand.
edit: Domestic Travel & Baggage insurance it is! $13.95
Now I need to find out whether purchases through this count as a Virgin Australia purchase
I decided to bite the bullet and just give it a shot.
The charge comes up as COVERMORE INS AUS (V), so I don't think this is gonna work! Oh well.
Virginity?
Have you already accounted for credit card surcharge? Will that, combined with carbon offset, get you over the line?
I have…. and I just checked again… it leaves me $0.07 short. Seriously. LOL.
I would email AMEX from your bank mail and ask them to let you off the 7c. It's worth a try, and AMEX are good to deal with. At least you will hear back asap. Tell 'em you miscalculated.
Hm. It's a good idea.
However, I realised I'll be much shorter than 7c (due to refunds) so I think that'll leave me too short.
I won't try, but thanks everyone for their help/ideas! Appreciate it!
I thought baggage was $20 (perhaps that was Jetstar though … and probably also increased) … so they are making this a tad difficult for you. Seat selection sounds good; when I book (early) I try to secure seat just behind the escape door hatch about half/third way down .,, Worth paying extra for the long legs that don't like being cramped into primary school sized seating, 😉 Good luck! But, if you can go with the gift vouchers … handy for Christmas.
Ps. Do you need to book a rental car too; would that help?
$35 (maybe due redemption booking?)
Seat selection already factored in
Nope don't need car rental.
All good - I have accepted that I won't reach it. Too late now anyway. Deal expired 20 November.
When I am looking for 'anything cheap', I enter a space in the search field. It doesn't work on all sites, but have you tried that?
