Given there's probably $15 in postage this is a nice little earner. I once had a pair of the PJs back on the day when you could get an international business class seat on points. They are thin and cheap but OK for a wear-once disposable. I noticed few passengers used them and most left them...
I use points for domestic accommodation. Granted, it may not be the best use of points but it suits me. Overseas I generally use B&Bs and pensions, so points are out of the question.
Here's my earliest memory - 1958, Adelaide to Pt Lincoln. Seating 2 + 1. After takeoff the hostess brought round a tray of barley sugars for you to suck and make your ears pop. A cup of tea served in a china cup with a couple of Scotch Fingers. For take off and landing (at Lincoln) a chap stood...
Having looked deeper into the T&C it's not worth the trouble of changing unless you do a lot of overseas transactions. All I would get is 0.75 of a point extra on Woolworths and the like. As my Platinum card is fee-free there's no benefit there.
I'm the same position except my platinum card has zero fees as an accident of history (a decade ago it was a CPA Australia members' gold card). I think I'll take up the offer. Now I'm retired I'll never get over $10,000 a month.
Recently I've been receiving 2FA SMSs at odd hours when I haven't been trying to logon, e.g., this morning at 6:00 AM when I'm barely out of bed. I have a few of these over the past month.
I checked my QFF account -- all is well - plus I changed my PIN.
I assume someone is trying to hack my...
A scam of sorts, I guess, but I was in the Uzipio district of Riga earlier in the year taking in the Bohemian vibe when a local headed towards me, unsteady on his feet and many teeth missing. He reeked of alcohol and wanted money. Inconsistently he obviously had a job as he wore paint-spattered...
Surely the oldest scam going. Three years ago in Salt Lake City a reasonable looking young man said he'd lost his wallet and needed to get back to Texas urgently for his graduation. Could I lend him $25 for the bus fare?
A few minutes later I came across him trying the same thing on a pair of...
I'm a little older and strongly prefer solo travel. Never had an issue. Being 187 cm helps, I think. A couple of times I've travelled with late 60s American friend. He seems to attract trouble.
I use a Pacsafe Velcro-closure wallet with chain that attaches to a belt loop. The belt clip locks.
