I was in the lounge last night. Arrived around 6pm and it wasn't too busy. Starting filling up but certainly wasn't at capacity (unless they want to ensure a 'spacious' feel). Was quite impressed with it although I would prefer a few more western items on the menu.

Adding to others experience, have also had this happen to me. The Jetstar agents I have corresponded with have outright lied about it to me. As noted by others, you can't include your QFF number on booking unless you select getting QF points as your 'reward.' Good to know others have had success...

No rain here in Nusa Dua today - a bit overcast and windy though. Weather is pretty good right now - apparently it was quite wet last week so hopefully the good weather holds for you.

Will see the New Year commence in the USA. A long weekend planned in March in the Gold Coast. The major holiday will be to Africa in September/October school holidays. Hoping to get to South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and maybe Botswana, time and money depending.

I love the Riverwalk in San Antonio- such a nice way to get around. The heat must have been something else! We were there over New Years and managed a day in shorts and a t-shirt!

SYD-SIN SQ242 6pm departure The crab salad was delicious- I ate it without the salsa. Then I had BTC Beef with peppercorn sauce - not bad but beef overcooked to my taste. The apple pie dessert was so delicious I forgot to take a photo.

Neil deGrasse Tyson in both the MEL QF J lounge and sitting behind us on the flight to Sydney. I didn't recognise him but he happened to chat briefly on disembarking with the Gentleman, who did recognise him.

The salad was quite reasonable- the apple gave it a good crunch. A bit light on the chicken though.

MEL-SYD lunchtime options Chicken Waldorf salad, chicken and corn soup or a veal ravioli with kale and mushrooms sauce. The pasta looked very dry and unappetizing.

As I understand it, they can only be hacked once activated, so if one is intending on buyig them, then they should be used ASAP. I always try and use them within 24 hours.

Is QR J award availability normally limited to 2 pax? Anyone had success in getting 3 or 4 seats via Velocity or directly with QR/BA?

Anyone had any success in getting SYD-JNB/JNB-SYD in J released? Seems like a dearth of award seats available and wondering about success rates if anyone had requested a release of J seats?

Good to know - seems like I will have to follow up on this one Did you follow up over the phone or by email?

I would generally only consider buying Marriott points if I have a specific redemption in mind and that would have to be a luxury redemption where the cost of the points is less than the cash rate. E.g. you want to redeem somewhere nice in peak period like Christmas/New Year. You may be able to...

Believe it was by mail, so could still be on its way

I'm not sure about the points but Coles limit the 10% discount on this offer to 5 cards per account per day. I assume it earns the usual 1 point per dollar spent. I don't buy these specific cards when the flybuys bonus points promotion is on, I'm only interested in the 10% discount promotion.

It's per account per day. We have three accounts at our house, I used two of them today and bought 5 cards for each. However, sometimes it's easier to not argue with the cashier and just go and purchase from a different one (assuming you have more than 1 account of course).

Walked past the queue on Chapel St at about 9.45am this morning. The queue went for several blocks, plenty of people trying to get a deal. One VFF member had redeemed a small Weber electric BBQ for 1 point.

Ok, so maybe I'm dumb but based on this can I then clarify - this flight would earn 20 sc (which is what comes up.in the Qantas status credit calculator for this specific flight if I choose business class and the carrier as MH); or - this flight would earn 10 sc (which is what comes up in the...

Do you mind sharing what the flight was and what the SC you earned was? I'm trying to get the Gentleman to Gold and the margin is narrow so don't want to get it wrong.
