"That's the dead centre of town. Everyone is just dying to get in there." So said my Dad, and now me, every time we pass a cemetery. Well it is the bit of humour thread.....

You won't get VA WP that way under the new system because you'd need at least 500 SC on VA, a reasonable interpretation would suggest. But the question is, using your example, what happens if you have 501 SC on VA to go with the 1600 SCs from SQ? The way the T&Cs currently read, you wouldn't...

Gonna need a confirmation or clarification from Velocity, because it would be the mother of all loopholes for VA. I think we'd all like to think that the 50% figure applies to the qualifying total, not the members overall total. But these are enhancements we're talking about, so who knows.

I don't want to start a new thread for a general question so here seems like a good place to ask and reach the knowledgeable: What vintages are to be avoided or prized for Barossa shiraz? I see the odd comment in previous pages but wondering if there was a resource somewhere like league table...

Received an email regarding the rewards program, that I'm barred from, that might raise a few eyebrows and a couple questions at the same time: "We have clarified the circumstances under which Bonus Points will not be earned on Partner Offers. Specifically, if you are receiving a benefit or...

I'd like a link pls @tinkybelle. Just looking at the Australian now in fact.... ....because SB has 12.6% back

You can only ask but so you can compare outcomes, VA reinstated one for me in 2023.

Makes sense now. I got that "heads up your status is changing to gold" email too.

Yes I just mentioned my experience relating to soft landings (or lack thereof). Recent pests suggest there's been a shift in that since early 2024?

I went from (VA-sponsored) Diamond to Silver when I "didn't quite meet the requirements to maintain my status". Only 49 nights short.

The Arccos stats (that you've presumably googled) do not understand that distance off the tee is of value only in relation to position. 3-wood accuracy as poor as your driver? Hit a 5-wood, a hybrid/rescue or an iron. Something on the fairway is going to be in a better position more often than...

Save your money and leave the misbehaving driver in the bag and hit 3-wood. Then the only catch-22 is sacrificing some distance for the ease of playing from the fairway. Henrik Stenson won the silver medal at Rio and the Open in 2016 and a truckload of cash with this strategy. A lot of...

@JohnK I stuff a towel and clothes around the iron heads and I put a broom stick cut a couple of inches longer than the driver next to the driver in the bag. This will stop the driver taking the impact (and snapping at the shaft) and prevent the clubs lurching forward if the baggage monkeys...

Hertz email received yesterday regarding some music concert promotion requires entry/rental between 1-30 Nov 2024. Click through to registration page which requires entry/rental between 1 Jan and 28 Feb 2025. Presumably one can rent a DeLorean or TARDIS. Go home Hertz, you're drunk.

The OP wants to eat onboard as per his ticket. Seeing as they're jerking him around about that I tongue-in-cheek suggested he bring his own stinky food as it might give them cause for consideration when dishing out even stinkier treatment. Not sure how it was interpreted as review of the...

I have a lot of gear on my work trips so juggling it around pickups is required. It's actually Mrs Happy Dude's 2006 Corolla that I leave on the streets but still gives me nerves doing so in Mitchell, as it would in any ACT suburb tbh. But Mitchell is a convenience as most trips are out west...

I made a Hertz rental via Trip.com, as Hertz directly seems to have dropped off cashback schemes. The booking process was simple enough but there was nowhere to add any Hertz or FF number. I thought I'd be able to add those details at the counter but not possible. So I missed out on Tier...

Airlines that do this deserve to have pax bring on their own food. I suggest durian and whatever it is that's been heated up in the microwave at work just before I go to use it. Other pax will be collateral damage but just tell them SATA started it.

Only one guest inclusive of children. Not good for a family of four. You'd need spouse to be SG or WP too, or hope for a lounge angel (but be prepared for a dragon).

Really depends on what are your interests. I drove it (and back) in a weekend in 1999 to see Scotland play a RWC game at Murrayfield. It was against SAF but still remains one of my all time favourite sport watching experiences. Whitby is a rather interesting place to visit due to its outsized...
