    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    If Qantas made it possible to do simple things like date changes on-line surely that would ease the call loads they get. Make the changes and pay whatever fare difference and fees. Can't be that hard.

    KrisFlyer 15% Transfer Bonus! [Offer Extended to Jan 16th 2021]

    I was very happy to see this offer arrive in my in-box. I have points building up in my NAB rewards account with another 40,000 bonus points coming in the next month for renewing the card. Hopefully they land before the cut off date. Given how hard I find it to accumulate big numbers of...

    AFF Tasmania - Newcastle replacement 23/24 October

    Bronze I'm afraid. Last weekend and only chance for us to go to Wynyard for the annual tulip festival. Went last year but the best was over.

    AFF Tasmania - Newcastle replacement 23/24 October

    Hi, I'm a possibility. Prefer Hobart but will consider Lonnie if that's the way it goes.

    New Credit Card When Retired

    Look no further frodo1 - you are already on the best site for advice on CC churning. Pointhacks is good but earlier this week I had to correct something said in a guide about Amex cards. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find heaps of helpful stuff. Look below for 1 or 2 to start with.

    New Credit Card When Retired

    Maybe not exactly what you are asking but what about the Amex Ultimate card? $450 annual fee which becomes a $450 travel credit with Amex Travel (on Qantas only). Effectively fee free if you fly at least once a year. 1.25 QF points per $1 spent and 4 lounge passes each year (2 Amex and 2 Qantas...

    Qantas unusual login activity email alerts [Awardwallet?]

    Could you elaborate on that for me? This may not be relevant to what you are saying but I use Kaspersky internet security and VPN and use Adblocker as well.

    Qantas unusual login activity email alerts [Awardwallet?]

    I stopped getting the e-mails and starting getting text messages. I have had 182 of them since March 2019. About 6 would be legit. I rang a few months ago but the person I spoke to was uninterested and said to keep an eye on how it goes. Maybe I should call again and see if I can talk to...

    Travel to Tasmania & Spirit of Tasmania

    Once you leave the city Hobart is sprawled out east, south and north. If you stay in the city centre you can walk to most places of interest (just like Sydney or Melbourne) and there are those open top city tourist bus services. I'm pretty sure there would be a tourist bus to the top of Mount...

    I'm in the same boat. Did you get the refund or is it still in the pipeline?

    Wow, that is useful information. I'm due to get 30,000 reward points soon after renewing for the second year. I'll be happy to cancel soon after and get most of the $295 back.

    Personal reflections a year into COVID-19: What has changed? What have you missed?

    Lifestyle-wise Covid hasn't changed our lives much at all. Living in an island state has been a blessing in respect to containing the virus, much like the Australian continent experience. Travel-wise there have been both positives and negatives. The positive is that we have seen more of our...

    Disappointing Qantas Club Experience

    Mrs ramboflyer and I travelled from Hobart to Coolangatta return on Qantas recently and had stopovers in Sydney both ways. I had some Qantas club lounge passes thanks to credit cards and not flying during 2020. On the outward journey the 8am offering was a small roll, ham cheese and boiled egg...

    ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure Card

    I also have 2 lounge passes that expired in October 2020. I have re-booked my flights with no stress for July so will the passes be accepted or should I contact Virgin to have new ones re-issued?

    Credit Card Offers St.George Amplify Signature Card Offers & Discussion

    At some point you have to start wondering if the cost of the card outweighs the benefit of the number of bonus points on offer. Bear in mind Amplify points transfer to airline partners at the ratio of 2/1. I have applied for the St George card in the past (unsuccessfully) but at $558 it wont...
