    Samsung smartphone, any one with NFC, wow: can even read my Myki balance

    You or I in this case, never knew it could do that via NFC. If anyone has to upgrade their phones from 3g to 4g, or volte, pay a bit extra and get NFC, its the greatest. Not plugging the Samsung, in fact any phone, buy the NFC one.

    Scams like these

    These people have no fear. Who ever is running this scam. Linkt themselves are not helping either. Neither is the Aus govt, or the telcos. They leave it to us to block and delete. Just found out, blocking itself on my smartphone, means it does not sound on the ring, ie, if the scammer sends an...

    Scams like these

    They probably want to glean who you are. If you reply, I am not Joe/Chris, they would probably ask, your name and your phone #, and thus confirm the phone # is live, and can onsell you, onto linkt, ato, afp, etoro, etc. Dont belief the # they are sms from, I had seen one, somehow, they were able...

    Jury Duty

    Guess the only way is to show the ereceipt/booking invoice, if and when you get called, that you have to fly overseas. Better if you can work as a "consultant" who has to go overseas every 3 months, like clockwork. Would say that IRL, there are people here in Aus that do actually do this, ie, go...

    Those on the QFF side of AFF might have an idea, try posting on that branch/twig of AFF too.

    Jury Duty

    For overseas travel already booked, yes, tell them to avoid a fine. Guess you have to wait till you are specifically called up, ie, when you are definitely called up for a specific case. As of now, I believe you on the list available for them to use to call up. Some criminal cases can be very...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    I think ADL is a "special case" as there is/are no defined AirNZ Koru lounge, so AirNZ/Koru pays QF for the priviledge. If you go to the AirNZ Koru lounge website, its says so, under Loounge Access, other places where there is a defined AirNZ Koru, no QF lounge access. So, still have to give it...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    They are not in the same FF program. No u in Qantas. *** Not sure if their "special liaison" covers lounge access.

    Unsuccessful QF missing points claim

    Most likely booking EK code could be the pinger. Should have bought the QF and flown the code. Maybe the upgraded (class) code EK have used does not exist in QFF. Flying the EK code earns much less than if flying under the QF code.

    New one this one: ((Your Mcafee renewal for ($)499 Australian Dollars will automtically renew at midnight)), lah lah lah, ... in a sort of recorded AmericanAussieBrit sort of accent, what ever AI system the scammers are using now, they are cunning to use an accent in English that is not...

    Minimum connection time in Sydney

    I would get the 4.20pm or the 5.20pm, but not the one after. Last flight of the day, can be cancelled more so than the one before. But of course, any of these dom flights can get cancelled too. If you can tho, keep that next day free, in case you have to overnight in SYD, pre the VA VA (admin)...
