    The way out of lockdowns etc in Australia

    Before Covid 19 there were direct flights from Hobart to both Gold Coast and Brisbane. Post CV who knows?

    The way out of lockdowns etc in Australia

    A group of 10 of us have paid for Rod Stewart concert tickets in Queensland early November. At this stage we have no idea if the tour will go ahead. It will probably depend on international border restrictions. It looks like interstate flights will be going by then. It's also going to depend on...

    Good information. I intend to watch a lot of the US version of Prime Video in the next few months and if problems come up I'll pass on here.

    Advice on VPN

    Problem sorted. Used the support topics on ExpressVPN. Pretty simple really. Turned off location on device and tried yet another location in the US (LA -3) and away I went. I should have thought about the location thing before I know.

    Advice on VPN

    Thanks. I tried using San Francisco and LA but no go. Also tried using another (new) account with different email address after signing out of the first one. I sent a message to ExpressVPN and waiting on reply. Also did Google search and found a UK site (PixelPrivacy) which gives ExpressVPN...

    Advice on VPN

    I have Express VPN and signed up to Amazon Prime Video through a US location. I want to start watching Bosch season 6 which just started in the US but not in Australia for probably 6 months. There are other shows that look appealing as well not on the Australian site. The US site knows I am...

    Amex not able to take payment or answer calls

    I haven't been able to look at my points account on the Amex site so got onto the chat function and "spoke" to someone pretty quickly. As far as payment goes no problem from my bank using Bpay.

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    I only just read this but it may be worth following up with a class action currently going on. A real long shot but maybe you can do some research. I had a policy with Colonial Mutual in the 1980's and the class action is around the company not investing in a manner that was in the clients best...

    Virgin Australia Financially Secure? [Now in Voluntary Administration]

    Interesting. I transferred all mine to SQ last night which I was 95% sure of doing with or without CV. Just checked and transfer link is still there.

    Credit Card Offers Qantas Premier Platinum Offers & Discussion

    I'm retired so credit cards are harder to get now but I was approved in late December and the process was not too long. I've had this card before and just went over the 12 months wait but I wanted the 120,000 bonus points and 1:1 earning rate. I really don't like dealing with Citi as they can...

    Why does Qantas still have these flights on their website?

    I like the control as well. It's a bit harder though when its not you and yours. Personally I've never used a TA for bookings.

    Why does Qantas still have these flights on their website?

    They are near Mandurah and a Flight Centre is 5 minutes away so they can go in person. The problem is they are not confident enough to book directly online. If things cant be sorted I will offer to do the bookings for them. I suppose booking through a travel agent could be an advantage if...

    Domestically there are paid flights shown on Jetstar, Google Flights and HBA airport website for tomorrow (25/3) for MEL - HBA but Flight Centre saying nothing at all that day. My brother and his wife are in Perth for funeral of close relative having left well before this all escalated. They...

    Top Three Holiday Photos

    Looking at some of the other photos I feel very inadequate but as an amateur I have taken enough to get some right I think. These are from 2017 in Italy and Greece. Pompeii. I'd love to know what he's thinking about the world today. Capri. Probably my proudest moment as a photographer (I'm...
