Same here (apart from the fact that the software would not run on any of my machines) I really don't mind some ads but I just noticed that I use the site far less than I used to last year. I used to screen most discussions as it was *fun* but... the design has changed and I find the new...

Then you're likely to pay very high interest rates and you don't get interest free periods either! I would consider refinancing ie paying off the card(s) using a personal loan. And STOP using credit cards! [just my personal opinion and not to be confused with financial advice which I cannot...

Now my own posting got falsified to make me look like I advertise/support a certain VIP Airport Lounge. I find this highly questionable and worse than the recent "community updates" spam.

Did you insert a Credit Card advertisement into your posting [between text and signature] or was your posting modified? Did you consent?

Or the other way round: Amex offered me a no annual fee Gold credit card the other day and I'd be interested to know why Amex apparently DOES NOT know that I already have a no annual fee Amex Gold credit card :mrgreen:

It's extremely annoying. Some ads are also placed such that they give the (false!) impression they would belong to a posting. I would not be surprised if the ad overkill makes people move on to different forums.

Not just in J--in whY you can also see staff giving their traveling buddies a special treatment.

sure? then you might consider paying the difference to business every now and then, resulting in far more points and status credits and leading to more upgrade opportunities

Indeed. Some top-enders might think this is great news but it's not. I spent too much time on those red eye flights anyway but 4.5h on JETSTAR? No thanks. And imagine all those well-paid public servants up there getting used to flying cattle class 8)

And next a card proving that a male is suitable to be placed next to a female? And perhaps another card proving that a guy just looks like a bogan but isnt one? No thanks.

Finally a good reason for demanding NZ to join Australia.

And of course the implicit accusation of all males being potential child molesters. Aussies who happily surrender their privacy rights and agree to be treated like potential thieves when entering Coles and similar supermarkets probably won't even notice 8)

Gender-based discrimination is the issue.

Sure, and certainly not occupying exit row seats as seen on a domestic flight last year. One brat blocking 3 exit row seats even though it violated regulations. No I could not bother complaining as it was a short flight. I was just amazed.
