    QBR Survey - 1000 QFF points (personal acc)

    I did the survey and answered at the start that I did all the travel bookings. When the survey was finished it said that 1000points will be provided to the account but then after submitting it said something like "Thanks for completing the survey however you are not eligible as we are targeting...

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Agreed but imma guess in the unlikely event it does happen, it'll only be those who get close enough through work travel or someone elses dime, so the personal nett cost is minimal.

    How does Hertz treat you

    I gave them (Hertz Fyshwick) a whirl recently @clifford, as the rates at Mitchell were inexplicably high. No real complaints, all went fine. Good rates and cars, ok parking etc but no status recognition (or upgrade offer). They close at 5pm and don't have an after hours key drop off and...

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    I'm wondering @NM if there is a distinction between the fare increases in your experience and "surge pricing" as described by @Pigg, which might be defined by Uber? ie fares increases doesn't necessarily equate to a surge. From your POV it would be indiscernible and just a coincidence from the...

    That's two strikes for you and queues. Straight to hell for a third. 🤣

    What cheeses me off

    Nearly had a fist fight with a Frenchman at a money changer on Khao San Rd 25 years ago in very similar circumstances. There was one line in front of two cashiers but Frenchie decided to create a new line in front of one them. I pointed out that we're all in the one queue and he refused to...

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    So how do drivers who aren't "top drivers" know what sort of trip they're cancelling? Could it be they're cancelling any trip to create a demand and price surge? As mentioned, too many cancellations would affect their status. There's a lot of contradictory info being posted here.

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    Genuine question: How does the airport know that a car in the public pick up area is a ride share vehicle? Not all ride share vehicles display a sticker.

    No QF on my Explorer or wife's Velocity Plat 😢 Luxury Escape is on wifes Velocity Plat and supps but GC can often be bought at 10% off via SB etc and there was a long term 10% off deal via Citibank rewards too.

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    OK, good to know but begs the question of why do it then? It's common and widespread and does nothing but create distrust.

    Trying to catch the dude that nicked the stump! Got more than a bit interesting there. Been a while since I've seen a leggie bowling into footmarks and turning it a mile. Good stuff.

    What cheeses me off

    I'm inclined to find a better park. It is something to provide to your insurance company I suppose but a number plate isn't going to help as I think whatever gov department is not obliged or even allowed to provide you or your insurance company with the contact details of the registered owner...

    Terrific run chase. Great crowd too. Dropping Sangha early the key moment. Didn't realise it was free on Kayo 😭.

    A giggle in a way

    Which card @MEL_Traveller if I may? I've been looking at TI options for my mild condition which requires an annual checkup. I will need to get confirmation of pre-existing cover, with or without an additional payment.

    That's interesting. Thanks for the update. They're not closing down but I wonder how much sales have been affected by the decision to back out of the cashback schemes? I buy a carton of beer monthly for the office. FC used to be my go to, timed for the cashback offers and often stacked with a...
