I'm sure someone will know more about this that me, but I understood that WiFI passwords are often to give users greater security. I seem to remember that a tool became popular a year or two ago that would allow you to capture facebook and other non-encrypted website passwords being used by...

I've never experienced it (or maybe just never realised) but if you want to be safe Google Chrome has "incognito mode" on its desktop and mobile browsers. This can be a good way to temporarily hide and block cookies without loosing the "remember me" cookies that you actually want to keep.

Cadrona would be my pick for starting off but do make sure you get around to Coronet and the Remarkables too. I'd say to avoid Treble Cone this trip as its the longest drive and the more advanced slope. Also, the best skiing is in the morning so try to get to the slopes early. Lastly, if you...

Hi All. Seems to be a few questions here and there about the business model behind the gift cards. I have a little experience with gift cards in a different industry and can explain how it works. The business makes a small amount of money on the fee at time of sale AND the portion of funds not...

I've done my bit too. I think I've used around 100k of points.... although I've earned a few doing it :P

Once you book a car at the airport, where do you meet it? Or does the driver call you to arrange that?

Used Uber for the first time tonight in Sydney. Wait was 14mins and service was perfect. No turning back here.

Greater Union do have one cinema down in Melbourne but it's not the nicest. For Hoyts (if you can't avail of the Optus offer) then you're next best bet would be to get a Hoyts Rewards card. It's $10 to join (but comes with free ticket) and then you'll have access to a $10 movie of the week each...

I did something similar at the start of 2009 (Sydney to Osaka) and at the time there was no lounge access and nothing to do in the transit lounge. In fact, it was probably better described as a transit room. This may have been renovated/expanded since I was there last but I doubt it will be...

While I think I've done it a few times in the past, I definitely did it at the Conrad in Dublin last year. Both bookings counted as stays but, from memory, only one of them got the frequent flyer points. I didn't mind as it was me genuinely realising that I hadn't booked the room for long enough...

The 400 from the airport to Bondi Junction is a 45min journey and, from memory, the stop is closer to Qantas T3. Its definitely worth checking the timetable in advance as the wait is also around half an hour as not all 400 bus services actually go to the airport (worth remembering for the return...

Re: Is it worth trying to get points? Hi Jenner. Welcome to AFF. While some of the more lucrative tips and tricks here may not be too useful for you, there definitely is a wealth of information to avail of. I would suggest that first step is a job :P ... but after that, one of the better...

If you're under 25, you may also be on a P license. Make sure that when you pick a car rental company that they don't hit you with a second fee or, worse, not allow you to collect. From memory, Avis actually didn't allow rentals to one of those groups (can't remember if it was P plates or under...

It may be worth taking at look at the current offers from AA to buy miles and then redeem them on Qantas. It won't help with attaining status, but maysave you enough to buy a Qantas Club membership or even one of the American Airlines memberships that works in Qantas lounges. If going down the...

I'll throw my support behind MyUs.com I've used them for a dozen or so deliveries over the last year or two and have found them to be excellent.

I think I may have an answer to some of the problems people have had with a background buzzing. I find that if I'm using the two-pronged adapter to connect to the plane's audio system AND the headphone cord with the in-line control/microphone I get the buzzing. But if I use the other headphone...

I must admit, they're a few tricks that aren't too different to what I've used on EasyJet flights in the past :P

Not sure if it will work here, but I've found that Hipmonk seems to use the same flights engine and can find the ITA Matrix flights through there.

Not too long ago when I had issues with rental companies that wouldn't rent to me because of age/license category (or had suer high fees) I found that Red Spot was the most accommodating. They certainly don't have as many locations, but are definitely worth considering.

Just got an email from Hilton announcing the change. Existing bookings will remain if they're paid but rewards stays will be rebooked elsewhere (La Defense?). I stayed at the Hilton Arc de Triomphe only last month and thought it was great. Possibly the best Gold HH welcome I've ever received...
