Can anyone tell me when Qantas will start (and finish) confirming successful upgrades for a domestic flight? I have put in a request to upgrade 2 paid tickets to business MEL to ADL on points (not a bid). I am asking because I am not interested in a last minute upgrade as we would spend more...

I never knew about the DFO bus. It's not exactly frequent, but it's nice to keep in the back of my mind.

Or not enough hangers.

Yes I always find I still get the points (which aren't merger when you have their health insurance). But I still can't get it to synch after 24 hours. Very frustrating. Edit: Sorted. Issue resolved in Wellbeing settings, not Samsung Health. The Wellbeing synch issues help section coukd do with...

The Wellbeing app stopped syncing with my Samsung Health late yesterday. Same for my iPhone using wife not syncing with whatever app iPhones have. I have tried the usual uninstall and reinstall a few times. It gave me one updated step count but on 0 today.

I was in it from the start and looking at the earn history that was at least back to late 2015. I have earnt only 34000 points from it in all that time, but I don't religiously do the surveys and have gone long periods ignoring it. They can be quite tedious. Those on the waitlist could try the...

I understand but there is nothing wrong with that wording by Qantas. It is a concise way to explain the discount.

What exactly did the email say (I don't seem to have it)? The qantasnewsroom site reads "...the chance to book one million discounted Business and Economy seats, using their Qantas Points or cash.."

No we don't want that culture in hospitals, but I still have to present my Medicare card at Emergency. Like any "business" hospitals should still chase money owed to them. Are fake details a particular problem? I have heard anything about it before. Anyone inclined to give fake details would...

I too hate the Go Fund Me brigade, but a lack of travel insurance is not a problem specific to Bali. Only a handful of countries have such a requirement, Singapore being one, but no one asked me to prove anything on arrival last year. When I visited a hospital in USA I had to settle the bill one...

Why? It would open a minefield and be near impossible to police any sort of minimum standard coverage.

But it is not really. The points price is dynamic, like the $ price. Therefore, it is fair to say both are on sale.

Thanks for the reply. It is with a travel agent (part of a cruise deal), but flights are all on Qatar. So I assumed they wouldn't be booking "directly" with Virgin. It is odd wording on the website.

I read an article recently about being careful when choosing which program to earn points with on Qatar - Qantas or Virgin, due to different rules around booking class. Looking for some elderly relatives who are flying soon for about 20000 miles, booked through an agent, economy class fare type...

Its also 27% above your higher $110 shop, or $30 which is not hard to spend. But there is not a lot of logic to it. After just hitting my $250 spend the next target is $230. Plus a second target of $120 for online (which is most of our WW shopping), totalling 4900 points. I have previously seen...

A few years ago I had Avis (who I almost always use) in ADL call as I was boarding (or maybe it was when I arrived in MEL) to say that there was a chip on the windscreen. We hadn't even driven 50km that weekend and I told them there was no way that happened when I was driving. I never heard from...

It's not about what you need, they typically want to entice you to spend a little more than normal. For my 5 person household they wanted me to spend $350 on one account and $250 on another. Meanwhile, Coles is feeling neglected and wants me to spend only $130. The $250 won out (10% discount)...

It's been 16 years but when we arrived with a 23 month old, we were called to the front of immigration, as were other families. @AFF Editor did you notice that on arrival? (Flying Virgin we didn't have the same privilege on boarding.)

Ice kachang. That's a bit of an acquired taste.

I'd be happy with the Coles online version. It's long overdue.
