    Woolworths gift card thread

    Did you get an activation slip? Mine didn't. Funny thing is I spent 45 mins at one store sorting this out. Including buying it, realizing that both barcode scans, getting the manager involved. Then they decided to refund me but couldn't work out how to do it onto another gift card. So they...

    Becareful of buying the 07-19 expiry visa1 cards. They don't activate. bought 10 today, no activation slip but they told me to come back after 24 hours and will refund if not activated. I am almost certain it didn't activate and the short barcode (not attached to the card) scans as well with no...

    Worse than feet on bulkheads

    Anyone get annoyed by pax in row 3 putting their bag underneath their own seat rather than the overhead without asking? Happened twice this month now. I was lucky to get an empty seat next to me for my own bag and a new footrest for one flight but had to fit mine under as well and just shoved...

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    VA895 (Mel-Syd) was cancelled on the 11 aug. I was booked on 897 and due to the cancellation, resulted in me getting an op up. I don't think I've had an op up on VA Dom. Nice of VA to recognize status and move me into J rather than just giving it all to random pax from the previous cancelled flight.

    I don't have any postbillpay codes and reference number on my invoices. The only way I can do it is register an account with auspost.com.au/mybusinessaccount Prior to that, my only option was bank deposit.

    Woolworths gift card thread

    Might be useful to some business owners but you can now pay your Australia Post account with partial payment and CC. 0.5% fee I have been trying to work out which is a better option (Someone please correct my calculations if they are wrong) My bill is $12k Amex Plat Edge 1 Point / Dollar. So...

    VA138 SYD-CHC J experiences

    Basically the same as Dom J except you get a Tablet for watching TV Shows. The seat is wide and comfy for a 2.5hr flight, just lacking a footrest. I would assume food is very similar to domestic flights. Pretty good but nothing to write home about.

    TRS Single item claim and Inbound declaration

    I don't think anyone here will comment on that specifically or if your partner needs to declare it. Just be aware that Customs/Border Protection have access to alot of information for data matching (ie. the flight manifest and travel info which means that they know that there are 2 pax on 1 PNR...

    What's your Uber experience?

    Not to mention the number of drivers going offline to get a surge happening vs the number of drivers getting a surge fare once they all go back online. I am pretty sure not all of the drivers participating in this game will get a surge fare after. This means that after a couple of times, some...

    Increased aviation security at Australian airports

    Anyone know if VA is opening their lounge earlier? I believe they open at 5am. Is that still the case or has this been updated?

    TRS Single item claim and Inbound declaration

    No issue with getting the GST Back. But see my previous post, expect to be checked up on when you arrive back (and the 2nd time as well in my case). If you don't intend to bring it back, I don't see any issue. In theory, if you brought it back without it being worn at a later date, you are still...

    TRS Single item claim and Inbound declaration

    The agent searching the bag. I could tell he was specifically after something, I had 3 packs of cigarettes and they didn't even check to see if the 3rd pack only had 10 sticks. After about 30secs-1 min, he looks up and asks if I have a watch on me. I showed him mine (Rolex but a completely...

    TRS Single item claim and Inbound declaration

    Rolex Yachtmaster ~$16k (I can't remember the exact figure). However, I was warned multiple times by the TRS agent about bringing it back in even though I stated it was a gift. So getting picked up wasn't surprising. The 2nd time was as I was in a hurry and didn't expect to get stopped. There...

    TRS Single item claim and Inbound declaration

    Yes. If you look at the eGate ticket, I think there is some code printed on it. When I was dropping off the inbound passenger card before customs, the officer looked at the egate card and directed me to the screening lane despite having nothing declared.

    TRS Single item claim and Inbound declaration

    I claimed $1500 GST on a watch last year which was a present for my folks. Got stopped and asked about the watch on my next 2 entries within 30 days. The first time, they searched my bag for my watch. Asked about the one on my wrist which looks 10 years old as it was the same brand despite being...

    Increased aviation security at Australian airports

    I still can't understand why they are using 1 swab for 3 pax (which I experienced a couple of days ago). I really wanted to ask him what happens if the initial group test was positive, and then each individual swab turned out to be negative? Would they keep doing it till 1 person gets a...
