We're not the target market. I didn't feel like i was being sold to. It was more of a "hey guys, this is what i'm doing". I do find it of dubious value.

The "points concierge" offering could be construed awfully close to being "otherwise arranging for another person a right of passage, on a conveyance" which would create a requirement to be licensed as a Travel agent if operating in NSW and the display of the license number in all advertisements.
Offering strategies is one thing, but the "service" supposedly being offered with respect to points bookings looks awfully close to being a travel agent - and does not appear to be appropriately licensed.
Well why don't you just dob them into the NSW government? What is wrong with selling a service you are capable of doing? This person isn't a doctor or even a paralegal, he is just organising travel for people that want to maximise point earning capacity. I hardly see why the government would need to regulate a business like this one.
that's not the point though is it?
If (and I mean 'if') the service provided needs to be registered or whatever under relevant state legislation then surely there's no problem in doing so?
iflyflat is not hiding anything, so if they need to be registered that should be fairly straight forward right?
Such regulation is prohibitive to productivity. Government needs to get out of our lives when it comes to something as mundane as booking travel. As I said, if you've got the money and someone has a service they want to sell you, you should be able to make that transaction. I appreciate the important role Government does in regulating things like health and legal services, but travel agents? What a joke.
I am not personally concerned one way or the other. If I have complicated needs, that require professional handling, then I use an appropriately licensed, insured, registered and recommended professional. If I don't need that level of expertise, I do it myself.Well why don't you just dob them into the NSW government? What is wrong with selling a service you are capable of doing?

Methinks your idea of spam is different.
It's soliciting a commercial service. Read into it what you will. Obviously the mods do not agree with me, and that's fine.It is not spamming as it is relevant and not unsolicited. The mods would have removed the posts if it is spamming.
