    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    I think it depends on where you live. My daily charge is highish with them ($1.05 vs $0.76 with others) but I thought the 8c overnight charging would offset it. Problem is the “peak demand surcharge” which is adding 25% to the monthly bill. AGL doesn’t seem to charge that.

    Bit of a hit losing the 8c EV charging from OVO but the $200 offsets it. Might give this a go then swap to the AGL EV plan after 45 days.

    ☹️ seat changed at checkin

    Yep. Didn’t make a lot of sense. Was a little surprised the remark even came out to be honest. Not even an attempt to come up with a decent story! Original seats were occupied (it was a full flights)

    ☹️ seat changed at checkin

    Had a similar incident recently. First time I’d flown QF economy for ages and I remembered why! Fortunately only a SYD-AKL. Both pax on the same ticket. Had checked in online and allocated A & B seats. Had an error message at the kiosk and flagged down a staff member who took over and said “oh...

    Card Promotions New ANZ Frequent Flyer Black 110,000 points & $100 back

    Annoying. I wanted to cancel it. Bit strange it didn’t work. Well over the 12 month exclusion period.

    Card Promotions New ANZ Frequent Flyer Black 110,000 points & $100 back

    Hmm. Didn’t get the signup bonus in the first statement after meeting the required spend (or the annual fee cashback). ANZ generally does it the first month after meeting the spend, don’t they?

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Fingers crossed. The whole system is a mess though. I am randomly still getting responses from the escalations team regarding the J seat the Filipinos were unable to find. This has ranged from “business class is full” (11 months in advance….), some seats are only available for the Japanese...

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    As far as I know, it’s personal only. Never crossed a business one.

    Hmm that’s odd. It’s usually the other way around. Lima must be an oddity. Use the BA website. It’s accurate 99% of the time.

    Do a multicity and stick something random before LIM. Try SCL-LIM or EZE-LIM and then, as flight, LIM-MIA and flight 3 MIA-MEX. Should at least show you availability.

    Jury Duty

    Isn’t an official term for jury “the 12 people who were too dumb to think of a way to get out of jury duty”? 😏 Having property in two states has always saved me. I’ve just sent a rates notice and said I will be relocating.

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    I’ve wondered that as well. Wouldn’t want them having full access to something like expenses.

    Earn points on Bank Transfers

    Don’t think PayAll counts for the min spend?

    I think a lot of the issue is the constant “phantom availability” problem. There doesn’t seem to be a consistent pattern of what is and isn’t available (and each call centre seemingly uses a different system showing different things). Backend Amadeus doesn’t seem to show the actual required fare...
