    The AFF Hall of Shame (AKA The Confessional)

    I declined an op-up from J to F on Etihad AUH-MEL. In my defence I was travelling with my husband but on separate tickets - I was on paid and he was on points.

    Hertz and Amex Platinum Charge

    I think once you enrol as a Plat holder you get automatic status as Five Star. Its a great benefit and Hertz treat you well, with really good upgrades, along with no waiting in queues at airports.

    Memories of the Sydney Olympic Games

    Watched the opening ceremony again when ch 7 aired it recently. An amazing piece of theatre (almost) flawlessly performed. The marching bands, as good as they are, were a bt of an anomaly. Delivery of the torch inspired. I don't think I've seen an opening ceremony as good before or since...

    A toast to Virgin Australia, some fond memories

    Whilst I had flown DJ in the past, I was a QF SG. Then AJ grounded the airline, and VA got us home during one of those volcano ash cloud incidents, and we decided to switch. An NZ double status promotion catapulted me to WP, and I never looked back. Loved the service on the old 777, but was...

    Greek Island Hopping - Milos, Santorini, Paros, Mykonos, + Athens

    Thanks for the report. How was the sea water temperature in October- and what was the latest date you were there? I'll be in Rhodes in mid October and hoping it will still swimming weather.

    Come From Away Musical Melbourne

    Well worth it. No need to pay big bucks as its not a big theatre and you wont miss a thing wherever you sit.

    Loyalty programs - worse than cigarettes or crack cocaine.

    Absolutely. Forgiveness not required; I didn't think your post was a whinge, and there's nothing wrong with a lament. I no longer travel for business so have stepped off the loyalty game, relying now on my Amx for its various travel benefits (still a level of loyalty I suppose, but not wedded to...

    Loyalty programs - worse than cigarettes or crack cocaine.

    Your post reminds me of Bossregie's lament "Am I a frequent flyer?" (for those of us that have been here long enough to remember). A number of us hit the wall but there's just as many who continue to prosper in the game.

    Travel insurance medical - not excluding terrorism

    Any recommendations for a provider that does not exclude terrorism for medical claims?

    New Amex statement credits

    Just looking to use my Luxury Escapes credits before they expire tomorrow. Reading the advice here, it looks like LE may have changed their payment process. They do not seem to have a cart where you can add multiple purchases before checking out. So it doesn't seem possible to buy a $250 gift...

    Coles Platinum MasterCard

    Don't increase your limit, apply for another card with a sign up bonus and churn. Increasing your limit increases your liabilities and makes it harder to get other cards,.
