    Comm Bank to issue AMEX... changes to QF/Velocity point earning

    Got my card today and have been updating various merchants. Had problems with Paypal and Playstation 3, both of whom accept Amex, but reject my card. Have others had success adding their Amex to these 2 merchants? Evan :->

    USA Trip Option - Any Advice??

    If you end up going to Boston, make sure you see a game at Fenway Park. Great atmosphere and you are really close to the action. Keep checking the Red Sox website for ticket sale dates as all games sell out (depending on who they are playing, it could sell out within hours). Evan :->

    Comm Bank to issue AMEX... changes to QF/Velocity point earning

    Re: CBA AMEX offering They do look much better. I keep having to replace my Platinum Visa every few months as the word "Platinum" rubs off. To Joe Shopkeeper, I merely have a silver card. I hope the Visa doesn't end up having the Pay Pass chip. If a card with that chip is in your wallet with...

    Comm Bank to issue AMEX... changes to QF/Velocity point earning

    Just received an email from Comm Bank (via Netbank... so it's legit). Still reading through the brochure located at http://www.commbank.com.au/personal/apply-online/download-printed-forms/Notice-of-VariationADB2857.pdf From what I've read so far: From Oct 23, Comm Bank Mastercard or Visa...

    What have you found on a plane - in the seat pocket or elsewhere?

    I usually leave read newspapers in seat pockets. Especially on LCCs where the pockets are probably not cleared after each sector. It's my way of paying it forward by giving the next passenger something extra to read especially if the flight is going back to where I came from (they can read...

    Qantas Introduces International olci

    Didn't work for me and Quick Check at the airport told me to go to the service desk. I suspect it may have been because I'm flying on a codeshare (on AS) or possibly because my 3rd flight leaves 5 mins before my 2nd (without allowing for the time difference). I'm flying BNE-SYD-LAX-YVR Evan :->

    ID Requirements to fly DOM in AU

    There is no reason why she can't get an 18+ card (or your state's equivalent). They are not just for those slightly over 18, but for anyone (even 83 year olds) who don't have a driver's licence. Evan :->

    Screening at different airports.

    OOL are also rather cough about aerosols. Not sure what the issue with them is, as I could easily get rid of the cap after security and before boarding the plane. If you regularly lose the cap, the new Rexona aerosols have a lock on them. Evan :->

    Brisbane-Gold Coast Railway Line getting closer to Coolangatta Airport

    The fare for Route 799 is included in your fare if you have travelled to the airport on a regular Surfside service, so keep your ticket for the transfer. Otherwise it is $2.40 ($1.92 with a Go Card). Route 799 also has a similar silly schedule to Airtrain. The first bus in is at around 7am and...

    Coolangatta airport and Jetstar

    I saw the JQ Lounge @ OOL today. I've uploaded 3 photos to Index of /jetstarlounge (files are around 600kb each). The location is kinda next to the check-in counters. Once you go past security, you go round a corner and there it is. It looks like the interior is finished and just needs the...

    MLB Yankees tickets - where to buy?

    That game is the final home game of the season, hence it is extremely popular. The stadium is brand spanking new (well not so new by Sep 30) and is across the road from the old Yankee Stadium. Chances are (as a tourist), you wont spend all your time in your seat, but also wandering around...
