Good to get a cent back. Has been a few years. If we can just nab another 30 odd, we'll be back to 2013 levels!

Australia might as well declare now for some shock value. The game's over half way through day 1. Would seem like an extraordinary capitulation on a road like this if it didnt happen every 2nd game for the last 10 years.

You beat me to it!

I don't want to completely overwhelm you straight away, but there is a "brief" discussion about that here: http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/qantas-frequent-flyer-program/oneworld-award-140k-280k-420k-8228.html

Wow! How do people like that get cards?

It's very interesting to watch what is going on right now in the currency markets. How does the US double their money supply and simultaneously double the value of every unit when logic dictates each unit would halve in value? That's a pretty freakish feat of alchemy imo. Supply adjusted, the...

You just need to match to a card which expires after 03/16.

Oh I see. So we can access Alitalia or Skyteam lounges when flying Alitalia but not when flying other Skyteam airlines. That's a bummer. May still be worth it for the 4 free business upgrades.

On the status match page it says Gold is matched with membership to the Freccia Alata Club. The Freccia Alata Club page says it provides access to Alitalia and Skyteam lounges worldwide: Exclusive Clubs Seems all good?

I figure the chances of something so extreme happening that it would be on the government radar but not the insurance/family radar and be something that they could make a serious and timely difference with over local authorities by knowing my whereabouts before being contacted by me or others is...

It's an outstanding alliance if you live in China. Otherwise it covers the globe OK (except Australia), albeit mostly with limited options. I'm gunna wait until I get a card with expiry beyond 03/16 to get the extra year. I've been looking for an excuse to head back to China! Anyone have...

Well yeah they would be and presumably already are used together. The key is to give all the same rights to gay couples who enter their lifetime commitment as we do to straight couples. If that has already happened, there is no equal rights issue at all in the debate. It's just about wanting to...

Let's say for simplicity the whole debate to change the description civil union to marriage seems arbitrary if the effect is already the same.

It's a lot of hoopla about a word. If the effect of a marriage and civil union is different, then it needs to be rectified. If the effect is the same, I can't see any issue. The whole debate to change the description civil union to the Christian word seems arbitrary.

I've never done it. I think it would be worthwhile if you were travelling to a country on the "Do Not Travel" list, but I haven't done that yet (at least while the country was on the list).

I sent mine through, for what that's worth. I can't envision hacking a status match email, sifting through to find everyone who had been matched, waiting until Etihad say they're sending the cards, hacking a DHL email, sending an email only to those who will receive shipment of the card, and...

Yep. That's the entire debate. But righteous anger is more addictive!

Yep. The only way would be to hack that status match email address then carefully pick out who was matched and send them all this email at the right time just to get addresses? Odds would be pretty long on that wouldn't they?

Pretty coincidental that it got sent by their shipping provider to all of us who got the status match and no-one else right when they said they are sending the cards out? I'd say its genuine.

Good to meet a fellow Pepsi man. We'll get along fine!
