Pretty sure @RooFlyer has though not sure it was a redemption It is an accepted rule with QR that F inbound or outbound qualifies for Al-Safwa

You can I'd jump at that redemption

You have to admire the work it takes to achieve the London knowledge. They regularly outperform the automated maps. Rideshare services (plus satnavs) means the dedication involved pays off less well now. The cab license is also expensive. Back in the day, London taxi drivers worked long hours...

To/from SYD is one of the few journeys where taxi is preferred option for me. Going there, they can use bus lanes and coming back, I found the pick up process too hassly

I checked into my Velocity app and there was a triple points offer during March. Filled up yesterday.... Having said that the fuel lock on the 7-11 app did save me $10

I think you can only use Charge for FHR

Much bigger dips in 2020 (covid) and 2022 (Ukraine). Below is a graph of (one of) my and mrsandye's retirement balance since 2016. No contributions or withdrawals (only automatic rebalancing and dividends reinvested). Invested in an almost identical way to a typical industry high growth super...

Got to be a possibility that friends of the POTUS are getting insider information so they can tweak their portfolios in advance of announcements

Everyone needs dressing down

Do you think they are made using dill dough?

I could and will almost certainly be able to*. Funds in pension mode have a higher rate of return though, so it's a balance (for want of better word) Plan not to hit my transfer balance cap until age 75 to remain flexible. *I do seem to be able to spend money pretty easily currently and will...

Interested in the thoughts behind this Am I assuming that the absolute value of your pot at the time of retirement* is important as you are then transferring to an annuity type product? For me, I'll be retiring with an SMSF and wouldn't want to sell anything just before retiring as that would...

If you are going to Stonehenge, I'd strongly consider Bath and Cotswolds on way back up to Birmingham

I've never done the journey but if I did, was anticipating a few diversions and stops on the way (and hadn't been to those places before) I'd suggest going via: Oxford Stratford-upon-Avon Chatsworth House York Durham Lindisfarne (Don't go to Hartlepool unless you must visit a maritime museum :))...

Buying points from AA used to be pretty good when AUD was near parity. Harder to find good value that way now. Most of my AA points were earned via Amex to SPG before it became Marriott but can still be viable (For CC points Amex MR to Hawaiian to Alaskan may be worthwhile)

Has worked for me but don't use Eats much so over a year ago. May need additional confirmation

My knees are at a point where if I get down on the floor, I think what else can I do while I'm here

Agreed. Amex still well ahead of anything else I can use effectively but I still look back on the good old days I did have a dual Diners before getting the Charge. With then 1.5 points/$ (multiple partners) on the DC and 0.625 AA on the MC (plus decent lounge access for primary and supps), it...

But Amex MR did devalue. I used to be able to get 3 old MR/$ at the supermarket. This was worth 3 SQ or CX points (and even 4 with local champion) Now I still get 3 new MR/$ the equivalent of 1 SQ or 1.5 CX Some of this may have been driven by the value of the AUD over that time. Less evident...
