Yes, not being able to work out mystery wines are and mediocre offerings to spend the quarterly Bud $25 vouchers on (combined with the perennial problem of having too much wine) mean my Cellar Door spend has plunged too.

A semi-regular 'buy points, get free wine' bottle has put in another appearance during triple points: Magarey Lane Glenroy cabernet sauvignon 2016 is going for $67.49 per bottle with 4,607 points at 1.465cpp for PCP members (4225 points at 1.7cpp for folks who are not PC members)...

Of course, green tier points don't count for PC+ so the only real value for anything status-related is in the 50SCs. Green tier SCs are slightly better than the 100 rolled over from PC+ in that they count towards lifetime totals but otherwise, unless they mean the difference between hitting a...

10x points for the second week in a row. Stacked with my second 2000 points for a $50 online spend so got ~2620 points for a $61.40 spend...

You could do well move the points to Velocity as there's a 15% transfer bonus this month. It means that, if you do move the points to KF down the track, the penalty is only about 7% (37K KF miles at 2:1.15 then 1.55:1 vs 40K at 2.5:1 if you're converting direct).

I would've thought you can through Qantas.com (unless you're forced to use a corporate travel agency).

You're looking at QF codeshares on EK too? Or just EK codes?

If you're on the QF codes on EK, it shouldn't make a difference. It's all Qantas-marketed... The difference may come from the earning categories, or from booking on EK codes (which do indeed have a lower earn rate and no SCs)...

The novelty of schlepping from CBR at sparrows to some meeting in SYD or MEL wears off very quickly. Trust me! (Mind you, the travel allowance was nice if you had a friend you could stay with.) I started getting interested in frequent flyer programs in my second stint in the feds, but moved...

Two or three weekly $20-$30 spends usually sorts the algorithm out...

Under my Coles Plus page, there's an extra 10% off a paltry selection of (mostly overpriced) booze. 🥱 Mind you, I've just placed my first two delivery orders (one in May and one in June). So many coupons to stack on top of free delivery (15% off from the Mega Sale, 10% off from Coles Plus...

Thanks for the tip - they're a 10 minute drive from home so this could be a very convenient way of getting rid of surplus stuff...

4x$60 for 10K points here. Quite doable, alongside the EDR 3x$50 for 2K points.

What?!? Are you trying to suggest that bottles of 1847 and Chateau Yaldara wines aren't worth the ~$500 RRPs they're usually offered for? Think of the savings over buying Grange or Hill of Grace! ;) When I can buy eleventy billion dollars worth of wine for a few hundred bucks, that's surely...

FWIW, another Langton's Private Sale. Password is VintecExclusive https://www.langtonsprivatesales.com.au/

Glad to hear it's not just me. Sounds like (as expected), Citi's/NAB's systems are being s***. EDIT - it seems that lots of people have received the email. What a total cough-up on the part of NAB...

A very weird one tonight: Given that I have put precisely one work-related transaction through in the last year (for a practising certificate I need for my job - as a government employee!) I'm not sure where they're getting this idea from. Anyway, have sent them a 'please explain' email given...

BWS has 20% cashback (capped at $25) today through Cashrewards. All the better to stack with your points boosters. (I had spend $80 for 1600 points.)

Following on from Bamboo's widebody ambitions really... ;) But yes, it's a helpful reminder to *always* pay travel agents using a credit card if possible as travel insurance usually doesn't cover insolvency of travel agents.

Here too - did my Special Gift Card cashback, but now I can see that none of the others would have appealed anyway...
