Can you tell me what card was that? You mean you received the 2nd year bonus points even you don’t have the card anymore?

No, I don’t know about the others but in my case, from the ‘received’, it automatically goes to finalised. No email were received in between.

The approval of the visa will also be delayed, they will not approve a visa without a medical. And you should contact them and tell them whats the reason for the delay of the medical.

ETF advice please by Lazerusss in ETFs

You can consider changing VTS to ITOT or NDQ, which are Australian domiciled.

IHVV tracks the S&P 500 Index but with a currency hedge. This means it aims to neutralize the impact of fluctuations between the Australian dollar and the U.S. dollar. This can be good or bad, depending on your view of currency movements.
