    Business Classic Rewards showing as N/A?

    I thought that but they're listed as A330 and 737s. Maybe they're just not allowing redemption at the moment? I checked MEL-SYD and about half are showing as N/A, one had a "Seats nearly gone" label below it.

    Business Classic Rewards showing as N/A?

    I'm looking at booking some travel PER-MEL in mid-August (after cancelling the flights I'd booked for early June) and while on PER-MEL there's some Business Classic Reward availability, on MEL-PER availability is all showing up as N/A, which is different to No seats. Does anyone know why this...

    Successful QF 'Bid Now Upgrades' data thread

    I was unsuccessful. Once I got to the gate it was no surprise, the premium queue was almost as busy as the pleb queue, and I'm a NB so some of them would have beaten me to it.

    Successful QF 'Bid Now Upgrades' data thread

    Or (having found it via the FF account page) I could request a classic upgrade for 25,000 points. Which is what I'm going to try given "Classic Upgrade Reward requests using Qantas Points for this flight will be processed and confirmed prior to any Upgrades."

    Successful QF 'Bid Now Upgrades' data thread

    I have an offer for QF648 PER-MEL on 15/11/17, I have beaucoup points I'm not using so will offer the max 19,600, the question is where in the bid range indicator should I go? Orange starts at $170, yellow at $225, light green at $280. I'm thinking a lie-flat seat is actually worth a fair bit on...

    Lower Bank interchange fees to 'enhance' credit card earn rates

    Re: Interchange regulation will lower Visa and MasterCard Points Earn in 2016 To some extent I doubt the RBA cares whether the money saved on interchange fees goes to the consumer or the merchant, just so long as it's not going to the issuer and acquirer. That way the money stays in the economy...

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    Tuesday night is a magical time where you can get both weeks' specials at once. Once they start putting up the new tickets they must turn on the special pricing, since otherwise they'd be advertising false prices. You do need to remember what the previous specials were though. Meanwhile, 4x$120...

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    Since Wednesday I've got three additional 1500 points for $130 spend docket deals, that share a barcode which is different to last week's. I had a look at the fine print and it says "Only 1 Docket Deal can be redeemed per transaction." So no leg to stand on for stacking the same deal, although I...

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    I got two of those (spend $130 for 1500) last week, and yesterday I used one, and it spat out another, all with the same barcode. Maybe the code that limits you to 1 docket deal per week is broken?

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    Same here on both counts (although our coupon book was $150, so we're slowly dropping). Also I got docket deals on Tuesday and Wednesday for spend $130 and get 1500 points, which is 500 more than usual.
