    A different story about being bumped from J to Y (SYD-HNL)

    Feel so bad for this fella. Finally get to ride up front and the seat is busted. I don't know what kind of comp he deserves, but I would be sad. What a class act, though

    That 30x plus other boosters. Not bad.

    Credit Card Offers Virgin Money Velocity Flyer Offers & Discussion

    I was just approved for the High Flyer card after closing the regular Flyer card 6 months ago. I assume I'm still eligible for the bonus as their T&Cs don't specify any cool-down period. I also just closed the Citi Ready Credit card last week, and I currently hold a NAB card. I was half...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    If this is within normal spend rate for you that's equivalent to 20x every week, not bad. Could tie you up away from Flybuy offers, though

    Is this really true? What would you do?

    My experience has been that there is almost always classic rewards availability in the near future between London and Australia when traveling outside of typical holiday times. Perhaps find a somewhat flexible fare you could cancel for a refund and look daily for classic rewards. Assuming you...

    Yeah it's rare! We only just started using hers a few months ago, and use it rarely. That might be why. When I signed her up for Flybuys she received an offer for 40x on her first online shop! Needless to say, we have plenty of razor blades and dishwasher tablets in stock 😆

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Didn't get a specific points-for-x-spend like you but I got a 10x booster. My partner got a 30x points booster on minimum $100 so will make use of that one

    Qantas Lounge Pet Peeves

    Oh I just can't let an opportunity to bash Apple go by. I have owned several Apple products and the only one I liked was the 1st generation iPod Nano. Since then I have only gripes. I hope someone got fired for that ridiculous charger design! I'm forever a Windows/Linux/Android person, I think...

    Car on Credit Card, points and balance transfer

    Can you elaborate on type of card? And was it all in one transaction or did you split it?

    Article: Qantas Bans Filming People On Flights Without Consent

    I totally agree with this decision, I always feel annoyed for other passengers who are clearly not happy to be filmed. Some aviation vloggers, e.g Nonstop Dan, go to lengths to ensure people aren't filmed (at least in recent years) but some dont care at all. I wonder how many of these...

    Have you ever had problems with the person sitting behind you on a flight.

    n=1 I haven't been able to fall asleep on my back since I was about 4 years old. I'm a side sleeper. If i roll on to my back in the night, I wake up from my own snoring. My father has sleep apnea and cannot sleep on his back either. I can "rest" just fine sitting up, but not sleep

    Have you ever had problems with the person sitting behind you on a flight.

    I did this during our LAX-SYD because my lap-toddler wouldn't sleep much. And those aisle J seats on QF do not have a lot of storage. I was up and down all the time, fishing out new books, toys, activity packs for the little guy 🙃

    General Medical issues thread

    Since my toddler started daycare in early September, I have had maybe 10 days of not being sick. Same for my partner. My son has had even fewer days. He even spent three days in hospital with high fever and IV antibiotics and fluids. I know this time will pass and it gets easier, but my goodness...

    Credit Card Offers Virgin Money Velocity Flyer Offers & Discussion

    Other people in this thread have had concerns about this. Looks like Virgin Money will often first issue a statement that ends on your join date, and then they begin your statement period on your join date. Some people "missed" their first month but had points retrospectively added after...

    Credit Card Offers Virgin Money Velocity Flyer Offers & Discussion

    I cancelled my Velocity Flyer card in early August, considering going for the High Flyer card later this month... I know there isn't a specific cool down period listed for these cards but I suspect they'd happily decline me given I churned their other card just a few months ago. Has anyone...

    Credit Card Offers G&C Mutual Bank Platinum Visa Credit Card. 50,000 bonus QFF points for a new card.

    Wow that's intense. I was just ranting in the ANZ Black thread about the information they demanded, but this is on a new level. Interesting you mention novated lease, I'm entering into one next month for the first time and I'm wondering how it will affect future CC applications. I guess I...

    Credit Card Offers G&C Mutual Bank Platinum Visa Credit Card. 50,000 bonus QFF points for a new card.

    Thanks for venturing into the fray for us, @Dr Ralph I think I'll give this one a miss, I certainly have no desire for them to email my manager or payroll dept.

    Maybe my best travel advice - virtual mobile for SMS

    My phone only has one physical SIM slot. Yearning for the day Boost Mobile finally supports eSIM.
