    Credit Card rewarding points for BPAY

    You could do that, but the BPAY biller code would probably tag the 1st CC payment as a cash advance on the 2nd CC, so interest would be charged on the BPay from the day you make the payment. Probably defeats the purpose.

    Melbourne drinks and dinner - 14th Aug 2010

    Well #%& me sideways (to use the vernacular). I've never ventured into that section of the site before. I just assumed that there would have been a relationship with HotelClub, given that the AFF Gold membership gives a discount on bookings through them.

    Melbourne drinks and dinner - 14th Aug 2010

    Just a comment re the accomodation - I used to use Wotif regularly until I was booking for a RTW holiday with my boys last year. I stumbled across booking.com, which seems to have a fair selection of Aus accommodation, and beats the hell out of Wotif for the USA and Europe. I found the prices...

    APEC Business Travel Card Renewal

    I was just thinking that it might be useful to apply some analysis to this - does anyone know how may applications are made, and what the size of the processing / decision-making staff is? Looking at the application form, the only quantitative question are 16 (no. of planned APEC economy...

    APEC Business Travel Card Renewal

    Yeah - mine expires in October, so I downloaded the form yesterday. My last renewal, I just put the same information on as the time before that, and had to sweet talk them when they phoned me to follow up on the application. This time, though, it looks like I might have to LMAO (and in this...

    World Cup

    Spain 2 d Chile 1 - and the Chilenos are going crazy because they still go through to the next round - I imagine it sounded something like this when the big earthquake hit. I don't even want to think about what it would be like if they had actually won. Samh004, how's the mood in Barcelona?

    The Operational Upgrade Thread

    The Op-Up thread I did suggest that we should travel together more often, because he was obviously a good luck charm (for me) - which REALLY set him off.

    Air Asia..No Alcohol in Luggage

    I did the same thing with a bottle of Jack many years ago. The funny thing was that the bottle was completely intact, but the plastic screw-cap was shattered. Needless to say, the clothes needed much laundering, and I ended up throwing the suitcase out.

    World Cup

    I'm in Santiago at the moment, and Chile has played and won 2 games so far. Each time they have won, the whole town goes completely mad. Tomorrow is their 3rd match, and I'm starting to get nervous about walking from the office to the apartment (especially if they win again) through thousands...

    The Operational Upgrade Thread

    I'm a bit late getting onto this thread, but the earlier posts re the op-up "algorithm" are interesting. From personal experience (not conclusive, but certainly suggestive), I think the "pax value" idea si most likely correct. I've been at WP since 2003, but was mostly flying discount Y -...

    A Silly Questions Thread.

    Heard a good version of this a while ago: "There's no such thing as a stupid question - but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots!"

    Uber-WP numbers

    Thanks for the feedback Mal. I guess I'm not so much trying to get QF to acknowledge my flying pattern as trying to determine if QF have misjudged their FF bands, and if so, whether there is enough "weight" to get them to review / reconsider.

    Uber-WP numbers

    Hi folks, Apologies if this has been posted before - if so, please reply with link to relevant post(s). Basically, my question is how many QFF members have gone well and truly beyond the WP achieve / retain point? For these people, do you receive any "special" benefits from QF for this...

    QF: Hurry for the expensive fares

    The "Hurry" flag just indicates that there are less than 5 seats left in that fare class. The QF booking system obviously doesn't employ any clever logic to present a "common sense" picture to the end user.

    A bit of humour

    A group of six blondes walk in to a bar, and grab a table. One of them goes to the bar, and orders a bottle of champagne, and 6 glasses. On returning to the table, the champers is poured, and a toast drunk, the toast being "9 weeks". This continues through several bottles of champagne with...
