具体在以下链接的terms and conditions栏:
http://www.citibank.com.au/AUGCB ... p;tabId=cc,acc,gold,

Qantas在http://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/dyn/partners/card上的声明:

不知道是不是受经济影响的原因，也不知道下一个是谁(paopaobing(79)) ，要redeem或transfer的TZ抓紧，也希望用过http://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/dyn/partners/card的TZ能推荐几个alternatives,American Express到底好不好用啊？还有Diner Card好像有25%的redemption的点数优惠？(paopaobing(84))

跟经济危机没啥关系，主要是QANTAS想把这个点数和自己有合作关系的发卡行联系起来，不是嫡系的就一脚踢开了。
Woolworths新出了一个信用卡，可以兑换FFP的，年费也不贵

"Woolworths and Qantas Airways said on Friday they have signed a heads of agreement to allow 2.7 million Woolworths customers participating in the retail giant's Everyday Rewards program to earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points from mid-2009.

Details of the program, including the points conversion rate, are still to be finalised and the IT infrastructure still to be bedded down, leaving a formal agreement still some months away.

Qantas' chief executive Alan Joyce said Friday's move would encourage those members of the frequent flyer program converting points from a credit card to move to a direct relationship with Qantas by the March 31 deadline."

综上新闻所述，目前Woolworth还没有被加入，要到今年年中才有苗头。

另外，也不知道这个"direct"到底是什么关系，感觉woolworth委托HSBC更不能算是“direct”?

WBC的altitude card也是一样的，这是Qantas的政策。

WBC是altitude还是earth?好像后者不受影响？
