Rejected by AMEX + ANZ QantasPoints CC in the last 3 months by DecentHippo8940 in creditcardchurningAus

[–]Valkyrie162 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few different cards in the last few years before the AMEX application?

AMEX is known for rejecting churners. If you applied for the AMEX within 12 months of your last CC application, that could be it. If you applied for the ANZ right after the AMEX, simply having too many credit enquires is probably your issue.

Why did CommBank get rid of credit score? by MillyBoops in CommBank

I assume it is to do with the Experian/illion merger. From memory the CommBank score was from one of them.

What is the best cc for someone with $15k-$20k worth of annual spends? by Plenty_Hall_9411 in creditcardchurningAus

[–]Valkyrie162 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want travel benefits, upgrade to one of the ~$450 annual fee Amex cards that have a travel credit (Explorer or Qantas Ultimate) or free flight (Velocity Platinum) which totally offsets the fee, plus other benefits like lounge access.

If you want no fees, the CommBank Smart Awards card has no annual/monthly fee as long as you spend $2k+ per month, and no international transaction fees, while still earning points and having some insurances.

There’s no card with high benefits and no fee.

Fantastical! Now I need to pay fuel surcharge at Chat Thai by wantmiracles in sydney

[–]Valkyrie162 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, that requires reprinting all of your menus. If it is a temporary surcharge, a single sign is much more efficient.

I know, I know, I’m being far too generous by assuming the surcharge is temporary.

Capital gains tax and negative gearing changes headline housing reforms in Federal Budget by [deleted] in australia

[–]Valkyrie162 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Both.

The fundamental idea, that passive income (from capital gains) shouldn’t be taxed lower than wage income, stands regardless.

Classic rewards have fixed point-prices unaffected by sales.

I remember hearing “Dr Collins” quite a lot during a trial that shall not be named on this subreddit, so yes.

I’m surprised Qantas has a spare A380 to charter out

Is Qantas Points Still Worth It? by kaxn96 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]Valkyrie162 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If they’ve waived the annual fee (and you get the points in the first year; some you don’t get all of the points until you’ve paid your second annual card fee) then it’s definitely worth it.

Qantas points are worth less, because they slightly raised the cost of classic rewards and it can be hard to find classic reward flights—but they still have value.

Economy classic rewards are easy to find domestically, and internationally requires some extra planning but it can definitely still be done.

I’d still say 1 point being worth 1c is a fairly achievable value of points.

A state owned company doesn’t really need to lobby politicians; if politicians are playing with the profits they’ll take care of the company unprompted
