I got the same offer for $40/week over 2 weeks. Won't be making use of it though as I only buy liquor when I'm overseas at much lower prices than here. Appears that you can still get 1000 bonus points if you spend the target amount in one but not the other of the two weeks.

Not related to the carrier(s) being discussed, but the discussion relating to the seatbelt sign reminds me of a flight that I had in the US last week on Delta. It was announced by the captain quite early during the flight that he would would be putting on the seatbelt sign earlier than usual...

I'm currently waiting to board an AA domestic flight that I booked using QFF points, and last night when I tried to pre-pay for a bag both their website and app gave me the attached error telling me it was not possible for that ticket, despite it being an AA flight number and not a codeshare...

I'm slightly confused looking at the missing/damaged bag claim form over at https://www.virginaustralia.com/content/dam/vaa/documents/letters-and-forms/missing-and-damaged-baggage-claims-form.pdf: The wording of 'A Justice of the Peace / Solicitor' could be interpreted to mean that VA will...

I noticed some discussion on Reddit about AMEX card holders being rejected from VA lounges during busy periods, which led me to read the applicable T&Cs, which do indeed indicate that the level of priority for card holders is relatively low: Something to be mindful of if you're considering...

There's been some information released relating to proposed local bus services to WSI: https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/projects/current-projects/new-bus-services-for-western-sydney What is relevant to me, is that from the south-west the proposed service from Campbelltown has an estimated...

Perth residents would most likely disagree with that!

I thought for a second based on the title of this thread, that it was in relation to flights being replaced with a bus, as has occurred previously: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/qantas-bus-between-syd-and-cbr.97831/

I'm well aware of that. I've been travelling on those services very regularly for several years. However if you are wishing to utilise any suburban or intercity in conjunction with a longer regional trip booked using a Discovery Pass, you must book your ticket to/from your final...

I've noticed in relation to booking connecting legs on local services (suburban/intercity trains), that if your origin/destination is one of the intercity stations from which it's also possible to book on regional services for travel to Sydney, the booking site won't offer it. For example, for...

I ended up getting lucky out in Windsor NSW on the weekend. Plenty of variable cards available, which I wasn't expecting to find in the metropolitan area.

Nil stock of the variable load Vanilla MasterCards at the store I tried this morning (Regional NSW). I doubt that they're hiding in the freezer aisle as when they have stock, these cards usually move at a pretty glacial pace at this particular location. There wasn't any there when I last...

Little bit better than some other posters received, but not tempting to me: I'm a little bit perplexed why their algorithm chose this offer for me, when the last time I spent more than $30 in one transaction was about six months ago. But I guess that I can always stack it with another...

I just got an email from them today to advise that the interest free period is being reduced from 55 to 44 days: Whilst this doesn't practically make a huge difference to me, after the devaluation a few months ago I think it's a sign that it's time to close this card and find a better product.

Went to my usual reliable store tonight (low socio-economic regional town in NSW) and there was nil stock. Perhaps someone is organising bus tours of the countryside looking for gift cards. Never been let down by this particular store before, they often still have stock left on the final...

I'm a bit slow on this one, but I just noticed today that the Launceston Airport Shuttle Bus ceased operating back in April: Home | Launceston Airport Shuttle Bus I used it once back in 2022 and found it to be reasonably convenient, running to meet each flight as they arrive rather than to a...

I had wondered how long until it would take until we had a devaluation because in recent times it's been good for customers, as many of us have been earning more points on the ground, yet the number of points needed for a redemption hadn't shifted in years. My non-scientific justification for...

I flew from TPE - MEL in business class last week, and would concur with other posters in relation to the quality of the food, as well as comfort. I had the fillet mignon which was excellent, and worth staying awake for, being served at 1:30am in Taiwanese time. One tip in relation to the TPE...

It was claimed by a poster on Reddit today that the aircraft arriving tomorrow morning, departing as ID6014 from CBR - DPS tomorrow (October 13) will be the final Batik Air flight to Canberra, however I can't find any official announcement about it. Having a look at Batik Air's official...

I've had some luck before in the outer fringe suburbs of western and south-western Sydney in finding gift cards. For example, yesterday I was shopping at Coles in Richmond, and there was plenty of stock available of the TCN gift cards from this week's offer. I've also been successful in the...
