Used my accor plus membership to get another $50 of value during dinner last night, one of the best perks and will be sad when they…

Worth saving some coin if you don't benefit from the speed boost; honestly. I'd defo do it if it saved $15-20 bucks a month.

It can be hit and miss; genius level 2 is easy to achieve for booking.com and that also comes with a 10-15% discount as well as comp…

I'd probably go with mac, at least they're likely to stick around. Whereas HSBC are also looking to offload their australian retail arm.…

they did, they kept the citi branding (for now) but the cc's are issued by NAB. They even show up as NAB products in a credit file search.

no reason you couldn't do this at a manned checkout counter. They allow split payments there too. If they give you the side eye, say you…

so if i order 100g of ribeye steak and their smallest piece is about 250g, i get 250g?

in plain english, if you don't know what status credits are; they're worthless to you. The only time they're useful is if it'll help you…
