Welcome,

With the domestic borders opening up now is a great time to explore more of Australia.

To make it even easier there is a great Qantas Classic Awards Hack that we are taking advantage of. Essentially you can book as many Qantas flights as your points allow with no cancellation penalty. This offer runs to the end of October so be quick before all the seats get taken.

We are also closing down our redundant cards as we are travelling less. The ANZ Travel Adventures Card has gone from hero to zero. If you have one you should be able to get a partial refund on your annual fee.

Closing down one card provides an opportunity to open another. One of our most asked questions is how often can I apply for a card and why so we've written a guide.

Finally we have reviewed some of the best hotels in Germany, Netherlands, Russia, Singapore and Vietnam for when international borders open up (2021?).



Happy Isolating,




Milton & Drew

Why I Am Cancelling My ANZ Travel Adventures Visa Card

Why I Am Cancelling My ANZ Travel Adventures Visa Card
Last year we believed the ANZ Travel Adventures Visa Credit Card was one of the best cards available. It had a good sign on bonus, fee free foreign exchange transactions, travel insurance, low annual fee, free domestic flight with lounge access and good points accrual. The downside with all the benefits is that they were with Virgin Airlines and Velocity.I …
