Thanks for the posts. I certainly didn't know about the AEST issue. Realise that data limit is poor, but I use Wifi or local data SIM anyway.I just need to be contactable and will make/take very few calls. Trying to establish if that's going to result in paying $10 a day almost regardless of usage.

Has anyone any experience of Telstra's new $10/Day roaming pass? Supposed to only charge for days phone is overseas and used.With some phones "leaking" small amounts of data, even when data is turned off, I'm concerned that I'll get wacked $10 a day regardless of any actual usage.In the past I've...

I took out a Virgin Money High Flyer card with the main aim of converting velocity points to KrisFlyer. However the card is actually run by Citibank and I concur that the service is absolutely appalling. That and the removal of x3 points for virgin bookings means I'll probably ditch it before ann...

An update - After 9 days and a second query I received this - "Please be advised that a known issue has been identified for Virgin Airline and other non-specified airline transactions not receiving points. We appreciate your patience in dealing with this matter and endeavour to have...
