    Lower fees with multi city Qantas

    Is this normal? I have booked flights MEL to SIN return, coming back via SYD on BA. Searching for a return trip result in fees of $1066 for 2. However putting the same flights in as multi-city resulted in a $180 saving. Screenshots below for similar dates and flights. It seems BA wants (i.e...

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    So what? Once upon a time there was no PC or PC+. QF doesn't have to make sure each class of member feels equally incentivised. The target of PC+ is most likely big spending (churning) infrequent flyers. QF already have the SG members on board. Of course there is still the benefit of all...

    Nah. Just because you don't get anything out of a particular benefit, it doesn't mean you should expect something else in return. Plus PC itself can contribute to reaching Gold in the first place through status credits on award flights.

    Another Jetstar whinge

    I've never had to pay for luggage or anything else at check in (in Australia). Is it normal to finish the check in and pay somewhere else later? I always imagined you would pay at the check in counter or at least pay somewhere first. It sounds like old grandma thought she could pull a swifty...

    I like these articles because 90% of the time it is a case of idiot passenger.

    An Open Letter to my fellow AFF members - External Influence on this website

    Interesting discussion, but nothing has really come out to support the OP accusations, I.e. nothing more serious than QF having a few fans here. Equally you see as many posts telling you how terrible everything about Qantas is. Some of those will also say they never fly Qantas. So much knowledge...

    Qantas Lounge Pass Portal Not Working?

    My problem was different to that. The lounge passes are there, but when I attempt to link them to a flight, it says to try again later. This is the problem I had when I first started this thread but it went away after a few weeks. I just solved it this time by transferring the passes to another...

    Qantas Lounge Pass Portal Not Working?

    Has anyone managed to allocate lounges in the past week. After clicking Get pass next to a booking and putting in the authentication code, I keep getting the error "Unable to retrieve information . Please try again later." I've tried again later many times on desktop and app.

    Complimentary credit card travel insurances - Any adequate ones?

    Then don't reply with your simplistic comments.

    Complimentary credit card travel insurances - Any adequate ones?

    Nothing like someone declaring the conversation to be closed after first having another say.

    Complimentary credit card travel insurances - Any adequate ones?

    Off topic again but your comment needs a response. Houses are more expensive due to the cost of land. It has nothing to do with fancy gadgets and the like. Do some research on the cost of housing (or land) compared with average income. Give me 17% rates with 1980s pricing and salaries any day.

    Woolworths gift card thread

    You should be aware that booking through Webjet adds on a serving fee and a booking price guarantee fee. E.g I just did a dummy booking MEL ADL return on Qantas at $165 each way. The total charge would be $364.04. That is a 10.3% markup.

    No. Infact Woolworths are still pushing some offer from Feb to me that no amount of cache clearing and the like will get rid of.

    Assuming I would avoid international conversion fees paying Ubers and Lyft by PayPal linked to my 0% international conversion fee debit card. No, PayPal converted all transactions to AUD first. So fees paid and 0 points earned. 😡

    Australia's credit card debt accruing interest is staggering $18 billion

    I do like @JohnM 's points but I have to agree with you here Lynda. Banks make a profit on cards by two means. One is interest and the other is a percentage of every purchase. Bonus offers are to surely entice high spenders across to get a cut of their spend. Most people don't churn and after a...
