I went through a spell shortly after VA switched to the current bookings back-end where I kept loosing my row 3 seat allocations. Turns out the cause was that the ticketing system couldn't handle the apostrophe in my surname and dropped it. That caused a mis-match with the frequent flyer card...

My Hhonors Diamond was matched! Needless to say, I'm pretty happy. I've never really looked at the Hyatt program so I think I have a little research to do. Particularly the best places to use my Suite Upgrades.

I spent many years working as a casual and was able to get a credit cards at the time. My other half still does work casual and she doesn't have issues either. The solution is to just get a few payslips together, use that to estimate annual income and then, when it comes time to prove their...

Re: Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" bonus given thread. Card: Qantas Premium AMEX Date: Q1 2014 I has membership fee waived and received $500 statement credit.

9 digit turnover can get you some pretty good deals. 1.7% AMEX and avg. 0.5% on MC/Visa.

I'm always willing to find new "mates". And, as well as that, I'd be happy to reciprocate with mates rates from my industry (entertainment located in most major AU/NZ cities).

One suggestion could be the concierge desk at the airport hotel. Assuming you can find a cheap booking, just book a room for when your father arrives and leave a package for him to collect upon arrival. Doesn't actually matter if he stays the night. Failing that, it may even work just offering...

Key to my success is cheap Etihad J tickets out of low-cost cities (BKK is my current favourite) combined with family pooling. If it adds any credibility to the argument, I write this post from BKK where I'm taking my next cheapie on Etihad tomorrow. My best ever was 4 sectors... but this was...

Hi Everyone, I'm meeting some friends in Zurich at the end of August and we're planning to head to Interlaken for 4 nights. Can anyone recommend activities and accommodation? In terms of accommodation, I've looked at hotels via TripAdvisor and also Airbnb but nothing has stood out a...

I've flown EY J a few times with my other half and agree that the middle couple seats are the best bet. I'm just under 6ft tall and was still very comfortable with the seat/bed leg room.

Great find! For those interested, the promo codes are flytues11 and flywed01 Let me know if anyone finds a way to make these work on a multi city booking.

Well I guess it does sound standard. But definitely sounds odd to me.

This a long thread with a lot of valid comments but I think we've missed one thing; the public policy issue. Sure companies are free to select pricing anywhere on a spectrum from flat rate to tonnes of fees/extras/surcharges. And businesses can pretty much charge what they like (yes, there's...

I have a few friends working for QF have always been surprised at the odd rostering processes and huge number of penalties paid. One example is CBR where no flight crews are based, so all the crews for early morning flights have been put up in hotels the night before (with allowances paid for...

re: The view from my "office" Great view from the office today... but it just makes it harder to be here on a Sunday.

I remain very happy with VyprVPN. I find the connections fast and reliable. Plus there are LOTS of locations to connect to. I regularly use it for Netflix/Hulu streaming from US without any issue. I also use the local servers when travelling to secure my connection.

Rules like this are primarily to guard against fraud. My understanding of the merchant fees paid by my work is that the merchant fee still applies to a refund. The most obvious situation it protects against is a stolen credit card being turned into cash by refunding items as cash (or onto a...

Hertz currently has a promo for 15% off weekend hires in Sydney (maybe other areas too). The Promo Code is:196582 The source is: https://www.hertz.com.au/p/hire-a-car/australia/new-south-wales/sydney When I made a booking for this weekend, the discount seemed a lot more than 15%. I booked the...

Well each year for the last decade or two the top 10 films list has been dominated by 'known product' ie. books, sequels, spin-offs etc. So when all the biggest franchises have major releases in the one year, it's hard to believe it won't be epic. But if that's not your thing, in only a month...
