    Australian Cricket Season 2024-2025

    Us?? I'm a QLDer!! 🤣 Sometimes a low scorer can be a real tussle. But I hope you're right though.

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Stampy - you might be right about the pax exodus to cheaper fares but I reckon it'll happen from 2026 and beyond. Those with status may continue to fly VA not to accrue status but to use their status while they have it.

    London to Edinburgh Road Trip

    Not good according to a few posters here. Preparation is paramount. https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/hertz-pick-up-at-lhr-beware-forced-an-unsuitable-vehicle-for-planned-travel.109440/

    1Cover - requiring pre-payment / going hard on pre-existing conditions?

    There's a fair bit to unpack here given revelations in recent posts. Most concerning is the eerily similar implication of dishonesty levelled at the doctor at the centre of the story, both here and on Instagram by 1Cover, who refused the opportunity to provide "the correct" version of the...

    Pax putting phone on speaker mode throughout flight and ignoring crew requests

    Hosties dropped the ball on this one.

    1Cover - requiring pre-payment / going hard on pre-existing conditions?

    Is that you, "Eva"? You could spin it like that @LucyB70 but you would then be condoning their behaviour at the time of the emergency and subsequently, as posted by @markis10, as acceptable. No reasonable person could suggest that a reputable insurer holding a paid customer's life to ransom...

    Even with DSC offers, retaining status on VA will be twice as expensive as now. I retain VA WP now for about $3k during a DSC. Family pooling is crucial. Now that will only get SG during a DSC promo and is only half way to getting/retaining WP. A quick look at the current QF DSC thread...

    1Cover - requiring pre-payment / going hard on pre-existing conditions?

    How can we? They hung up on the journo when asked for it. Only got themselves to blame if readers conclude that their TI policies are worthless and they're a terrible company to deal with.

    FTFY For clarity that is. I hope their fares will remain competitive but like most, I will be looking elsewhere now and getting benefits from elsewhere too.

    What cheeses me off

    I've watched less than five BBL games and two of those were in person. One of the others just happened to be this years final where the game was decided in about 5 overs because of some big hitting. So I know that Hurricanes won the BBL this year but I don't remember who they beat or who did...

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    Presumably they'd need a few cars to have several riders cancel on them each to make the price surge, but this pattern be visible to Uber. Repeat offenders would be weeded out quickly and easily. If Uber wished that is, but they benefit too.

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    I had a similar experience at CNS and DiDi geo-blocked the airport and kept auto-moving the pick up to outside the airport 1km away. Ended up using a taxi. Fare back to the airport in Uber was half the taxi fare from the airport. I think this goes on at more airports than CNS too. Last year...

    New Amex statement credits

    Interestingly, I did two Expedia bookings starting with the Amex link. Activated the SB offer via the browser widget extension thing (it drops down a button automatically). One booking got both Amex and SB (tracked), the other only the SB. 🤷‍♂️

    What's your Uber experience?

    It happens in Japan too but I'd be mighty pi55ed off if I got a taxi through Uber here. The reasons you describe, together with drivers constantly talking on the phone, were the reasons I stopped using taxis. Taxi drivers have no skin in the game so the service level settled to a very low bar...

    Article: I Have Zero Qantas Points and It Feels Liberating

    I've fixed your post. :) If it's not broken, then I don't know what is. It'll take more than someone getting a doctorate level education in FF program rules in order to jag a J seat on CE 10 months in advance to convince me otherwise.

    The Australian wine $50 off new clients plus use the current amex offers

    I used your link @tinkybelle. Quickly received 2 x Amex emails and SB stacked at 12.6% (will wait to see if it actually pays though).

    Article: I Have Zero Qantas Points and It Feels Liberating

    Yep. this is it in a nutshell for the non-WP/WP1 who can request, and even they're regularly told no, especially for LHR. Use your QFF points on other airlines for premium seats, if they're playing nice with QF that is, but then the cash copayment gonna hurt ya. That itself is an indication of...
