Starbucks seem to relay on a critical mass of International Students or young people they don't know good coffee and need/want syrups.

AMEX is 18 - but if you're a churner they will turn you down regardless of income.

Yeah, I think that’s where I stuffed up. I saw the clause about needing $60k spend on the card over 12 months to maintain status, but…

Hi there, like many on the forums - I signed up for the HSBC Star Alliance card. Met spend, received my 50K points, then received an email…

With credit card fraud I feel this is pretty outdated.

Just be mindful if you have status for Accor ALL, Hilton or any other chain, you won’t receive the status benefits booking through Qantas…

I tried applying through an older account, got SMS for 2-factor verification but then received the 'unable to proceed' screen multiple…

You can always attach the 'closure notice' as a supporting document so if they see it on the credit file, they can see it's been closed.

I also received my 50k today hitting status mid April. Takes a while but worth it for a zero fee card.

50k points landed today, there was a recent card statement and noticed it when the email had 50k points up the top,

Gold status landed this week in the air Canada portal. Still awaiting the 50k points though.

I hit status confirmation on 13th April. Reading above it seems there may be a number of weeks before it’s all confirmed. Will report…

30K points was the card bonus + the virgin bonus, which I chose 200 status points.

Got my 30K and 200 status points about 5 business days after the statement. Now have Gold status despite only flying with Virgin twice over…

Try g2a instead - showing as $65 - https://www.g2a.com/microsoft-office-professional-plus-2021-pc-microsoft-key-global-i10000271538001

No, I was flying with them. I have a complimentary Qantas Club status through Points Club Plus. That allows one adult and two children to…

I live regionally and take a shuttle bus to the airport, being able to go through an express lane, priority baggage and upgrades can mean…

I did last year for 250 status points, now this should take me to Gold easily and last through to June 2025 - worth way more than the…

@Its Bill Murray - NAB is 18m months now too. "This bonus points offer is not available to existing customers who have received or are…

One was Cambodian and the other was Phillipino, so not caste related.....though listening to some podcasts it seems like their importing…

At a kid's party, I saw two guests of south-east asian descent ask each other what their 'heritage' was rather than asking 'Where are you…

Yup, saddle and tempt you with debt, hope you miss a repayment or are made redundant so they can get that sweet 24% interest

They send you a physical rejection letter, so you've probably been rejected

I think you also get more luck if you let AMEX choose the limit. Myself and other that choose a sub 10K limit seemed to be rejected.

Thinking back I reckon I would have had more of a chance if I selected the option "let AMEX choose my limit" I selected 7K, but seems…

Rejected as well for the first time. Must not like churners. They send the rejection via paper letter so if you aren't instantly asked to…

exactly, they blend news with opinion. All the right-wing talking heads have a subtle comment icon in their logo - but it still has the Sky…

Even with a 'free' ticket for under 2yos, the stress of travelling with an infant makes it less attractive. We have relatives in NZ 3-4Hr…

Depends if you fill it with feathers or lead.

My method is just to set a calendar reminder 12 months from the account closure date for each card/provider. Then prior to applying I just…
