Thanks - no email/app notification for me, but that's good to know!

Just seeing if anyone has heard anything more about Bluechain and American Express acceptance? It's been a few weeks and there's been radio silence. Their website still talks about American Express payments (and the fees associated with Amex payments), not sure if they've fixed it and forgot to...

Agreed that the timing of her (re)running with the border movement is to do with the election. I don’t think negotiation would have worked in this case - the nsw government had been against the border closure in the first place, and the local member (yes National, but still part of the...

I think people are reading more into that statement than necessary. An alternative reading is that the LNP has flip-flopped on the border issue (I understand the current QLD LNP position is that they support the border closure now?) and that they should vote for Labor because they have held...

What good would a talk have done at that point? The local Tweed MP (part of the NSW government) had already come out swinging against any border move and had already stated it should be moved north to Tugun back when the mayor of Gold Coast suggested it. With all of the talk going in the media...

The proposal didn't actually come from AP originally, and has been kicking around since the start of COVID, so while it might be good politically, it certainly wasn't born as an election sound bite. The idea was originally floated by the QLD police minister in March 2020, and "was instantly...

Gladys' reply was only in the media "if anything, the border should be moved north". But no detail about where that would be - Geoff Provost (the local Nationals member in Tweed) had suggested somewhere in Tugun, but the number of people crossing a line at any location north of the actual border...

Actually, AP's claim occurred on Tuesday 18 August (Double-lung recipient misses critical check-up because of border closure) According to the CM, the case being discussed currently occurred a week earlier, on Wednesday 12 August (they flew to Sydney the next day, Thursday 13 August) -...

Well yes, but the Mater doctors didn't - in any case, the Qld govt didn't have anything to do with this case.

If it was the Mater telling them, then the Qld govt can still legitimately say they weren't involved, and no requests came to QLD Health. Although the Mater has a public-funded hospital in South Brisbane, as far as I know it is not run by QLD Health - the Mater Public Health Services Act allows...

I think it's difficult to isolate the effects of the (enforced) shutdown and the broader disinclination to travel/invest in spite of the shutdowns. The company I work for operates across multiple countries around the world, and even in the US (with relatively fewer shutdowns between their...

The only state counterparts she is creeping further away from are the NSW and VIC ones - she is still in close agreement with the majority (3 of 5) of the other states, i.e. 4 of 6 state CHOs agree. WA's CHO stated late last month in Federal Court (A big decision is due today in the Clive...

Just got a notification that BC is "experiencing issues with American Express", and we should stop making payments through them with American Express cards until further notice. Not looking good - reminds me of the message from Billcardboom from a little while back, which is still out of action :(

Given your second sentence, would your first statement change if you were to cancel a NAB credit card? (i.e. if you expect to not get any points when you close a NAB account, would you then not feel obliged to give points back when closing the account with a negative points balance) The T&Cs...

My Platinum Charge has had a spending power of $60k since day one (currently about 1.25 years in). In that time, I've had about 3 months where the spend was over $50k, and all statements have been paid on time. I haven't needed an increase in spending power so I haven't pushed it, but I had...

I've got Bluechain, but prefer to use RP or B2Bpay. Perhaps I haven't figured it out, but having to add billers on the computer, and then switch to my mobile app to pay the biller seems a bit inefficient. Is there a way to do both on one device?

Shouldn't be too bad - the map says that planes should be over 4km (ascending towards 6km) above ground level by the time it gets to Bribie. I live on the southside (Parkinson) under the existing flight path and based on that map planes should be ~1.4km above ground where I am. I can barely hear...

Same situation too - hit min spend in first month. Now in the 3rd cycle, the 120000 have appeared in the 'pending points' page (I imagine they'd be paid out with the third statement), and the $275 annual fee rebate has posted onto my transactions.
