    AFF Cruise #2. Rerun. Crown Princess 4 nights 25th January 2025.

    I think both packages are excellent value. We sailed on Celebrity Edge earlier this month and the classic drink package was AUD$140+ per day and barely a decent wine or spirit within the USD12 cap under that package. I thought the specialty restaurant costs were outrageous - AUD $242 plus 20%...

    AFF Cruise #2. Rerun. Crown Princess 4 nights 25th January 2025.

    I’ll confirm that for you once onboard but my understanding it is one device per person - you have to sign into the ship’s wifi through the Princess app so I suspect it recognises which device you are using. As you will need the device to order Ocean Now delivery, your phone is going to be most...

    AFF Cruise #2. Rerun. Crown Princess 4 nights 25th January 2025.

    I don’t usually take a drink package as my partner no longer drinks and, as mentioned, everyone in the cabin has to have the package (I believe you can get a non alcoholic package for you or your cabin companion if one of you doesn’t drink if purchasing the package onboard) but these packages...

    Coles gift card offers

    Just an update re our hacked Coles gift cards. Finally, after 10 months, we received two replacement cards totalling $100 for the $50+ we lost. However, it took a complaint to AFCA to finally get this resolved by the Australian based division of InComm - the company who financially manage the...

    Platinum Reserve Card

    I don’t have the Platinum card. I think it was initially a Membership Rewards card that changed to Platinum Reserve card. I’ve used the PP three times that I can recall - just not great value when you have to pay for an accompanying guest. I am thinking of ditching the card next year, with...

    Platinum Reserve Card

    Slightly off topic. I have had this card since 2005. I didn’t apply for it, a pre approved offer with a $13k limit just turned up in the post one day, all I had to do was sign the sheet of paper to accept the offer and return post (no fins, employment history etc required) and so I signed it...

    Coles gift card offers

    We are 5 months down the track with Coles/Heritage Bank trying to get reimbursed for the $60+ taken from a $100 Coles Gift Card that was hacked. Complete run around - contact help number by phone, then email details, nothing happens, ring again, email details again, nothing happens set and...

    Travel plans 2024

    9 years ago we did a repositioning cruise with RCCL from Copenhagen to NYC via Bergen, Faro Islands, Iceland, Halifax NS and onto NYC. It was a fantastic trip with an overnight in Reykjavik which allowed time to see quite a lot via a small group private tour organised through CC with 12 others...

    Availability of QR award seats on partners

    I found availability for QR segments in J for BCN DOH MEL for June next year on AA but nothing on CX. A phone call to CX proved fruitless and all the agent could tell me was that availability wasn’t open yet but could not tell me when it would be. It seemed that there was no availability in...

    Travel plans 2024

    It will be our first time on Azamara - it’s a bit above our pay grade. These are all countries I have always wanted to visit and it was amazing to find them all in one itinerary, the Suez Canal was a bonus. The ports, particularly in Egypt, will allow us to experience quite a lot, albeit on...

    Coles gift card offers

    Extra security layer perhaps - just reasonable suggestions we have found in the forums.

    Card Promotions What is the best credit card for Krisflyer miles?

    Re HSBC Star Alliance Card - does anyone know if there is a minimum income requirement? Nothing in the fact sheet.

    Coles gift card offers

    Online purchase made through a global billspay portal for a purchase from a US based store one week after we purchased the card in April. We only unwrapped the card to use the week before last. From what we have learned only the last 6 digits of the card are different. Expiry dates are the...
