Hey everyone! 👋

My wife and I are heading to TML Thailand 2026 and staying at Novotel Rayong.

I’m a techie from Sydney 🇦🇺, and thought it did be fun to create a WhatsApp group for others staying at the Novotel so we can get to know each other before the festival.

The idea is to have a friendly group for meeting fellow festival-goers, sharing useful info, and having some familiar faces around during the weekend. 🙌
If you’re staying at Novotel Rayong for TML 2026, come join us:

👉 WhatsApp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/IeMYd3MeQfh5WkKpvcd51D?s=cl&p=i&ilr=0&amv=0

Drop a quick intro when you join please where you’re coming from and if you are travelling solo or who you’re travelling with!

Quick FYI: This is a genuine community group for people attending TML. Bots, spam, scams, suspicious links/accounts, ticket-selling scams, etc. will be identified and removed. 🚫🤖

Keeping the group safe and useful for everyone.
See you all in Thailand! 🇹🇭🎶🍻

Hi all,

I’m currently using a NAB Signature Rewards credit card with a 6k limit and am looking to apply for a new card to take advantage of a sign-up bonus offer.

I have a few flights that need to be booked soon, including:

Australia → Thailand
Thailand → my home country
Return flights later on

Because of these upcoming expenses, I should be able to meet most minimum spend requirements to get the bonus points without any issues.

My main goal is to maximise points value for flights, whether that’s through Velocity, Qantas, KrisFlyer, or another frequent flyer program.

A few questions:

1. What are the best sign-up bonus offers currently available?

And I would like to avoid the annual fee for the first year.

1. Are there any cards with particularly good earn rates or bonus point promotions right now?
2. Should I be looking at Qantas, Velocity, or flexible rewards programs given my travel plans?
3. Anything I should be aware of coming from a NAB Rewards card?

Current card: NAB Signature Rewards ($6k limit)

Credit score/history: Good, no issues with repayments.

Would appreciate any recommendations or recent experiences. Thanks! 🙏🏻
