I found this helpful: Does travel insurance cover COVID-19? | CHOICE

We went with an annual multitrip with NIB because it has COVID cover. It’s not high ($2k, I think, for delays) but it hit the right balance of cost/cover for our needs. Will find out how easy is to claim next week when we return from the US as it turns out to have been very necessary. Just...

I called a few weeks ago to claim some missing points because the form wasn't working on the website. I spoke to someone who patiently took all of the details for the six flights I was claiming, told me it would be 3-5 business days before the points would show up. Eight days later, the points...

I think that's only in Westin Hotels, not all SPG/Marriott.

Yes, I also liked the location. It's a shame. Although Sheraton on the Park is now Sheraton Grand. And their recent refurb is quite nice.

I received a similar offer: Spend $100 before 31 Jan, receive $15 or 3,105 points.

Yes, looks like it can be either. Is there any advantage to one over the other? The price for CX vs QF is roughly the same, but the spreadsheet still needs some work.

Thanks, that makes sense!

A new Macbook :oops: + some cables. So the points, in theory, are for the part of the order that wasn't the MacBook... But that doesn't entirely make sense either, because the points still don't add up.

I'm looking at flights in September/October. I have to be in Vancouver, and then Dallas, TX the following weekend. I was planning on doing SYD > LAX > YVR > DFW > SYD But using the Qantas points calculator in Economy seems to show that SYD > LAX > YVR on QF is 75 SCs, but SYD > HKG > YVR on CX...

Oh, Qantas Mall... Why are you so erratic? Bought some gear from the Apple Store a few months ago. Once the order had cleared and shipped, received the email saying that my points are on their way. Points credited last week: 216. Order value: $2,500+. Have lodged a claim, hopefully it goes...

This makes my decision-making much easier. I signed up with Optus specifically for the QFF points, had an awful experience, complained about a million times, with no love from Optus. Considered taking it to the TIO, but was too exhausted with the entire thing by that point. My 24-month contract...

I bought two gift vouchers, one for $100 on Xmas Day, the other for $500 on 20/12. The 1000 points bonus posted on 23/01 but the 5000 points bonus only posted yesterday, even though I bought that gift voucher first...
