Good for carry on

I feel I have seen this pattern every now and then, for years.

I second a USA trip. A great place to take the kids and a great use of 500000 points. We have been on QF points - 125k each from memory for a trip to JFK and returning from DFW.

I sent a DM

Row 29 must really be slumming it for you @Matt Graham. I hope I get the antipasti collection for my MEL to SYD flight in 8 days. I only take such flights a few times a year, but it looks better than any snacks I can remember in economy for a while.

Looking at the forecast I am wondering if you made the mistake of flying in to the wrong city.

Uber are awful to deal with when something goes off script. I was charged $25 instead of $15 for a fictious stop on the way. I only sought $10. After multiple attempts I did a charge back through PayPal. When Uber didn't respond PayPal found in my favour and refunded $10. Next time I open Uber...

Continuing from my previous post, one other exception. My only IB experience was 20 years ago, Madrid to Lima in economy. After a small meal, 8 or 10 hours later people are getting hungry and thirsty but the staff stayed in the galley and ignored all call button requests without fail. There was...

I do not understand the pride some take in not pressing the call button. Is it because what they are really trying tell you is that they always fly F or J? The Singapore Airlines flight attendant story doesn't surprise me, but for other airlines, as long as few others press the call button it...

From the 6x points promotion up to $500? I received 3000 points on the 13th.

But if you pay cash and it rounds down to zero, would it qualify?

Yeah I just signed up for a second 12 month plan, plus one mobile and the Coles $7 a month deal. I prefer Coles but Woolies is now getting 3/4 of our duopoly business.

More futile trips to WW for me. I can never get these offers.

Just to be pedantic, these offers are extra money on the card. So 5% extra is actually a 4 76% discount which is not as good as the 5% discounts you can get on cards like Dan's.

Thanks for this. I had never really thought about getting gift cards from Qantas before. The extra 4 (or 4.25) ppd has to be weighed up against other offers (eg 4% off WW gift cards purchased through my mobile plan) of course, but when there is a no other offer, this is a no brainer. I wish I...

On domestic, who is ever asked to provide ID? Surely a dodgy character would use a false name. Or do they still hope to collect FF points?

$28000 in gift cards! What's your address? Nice little earn there. Given the choice (which is never given) I'd rather the 10% deal instead to save $2094.40.

Same here, especially since my local Coles and WW never have any high value gift cards available when there are offers (when I visit).

My wife called a friend on the night (before I got home) who is a Senior Detective and it seems they had incorrectly linked me to this crook based on an unrelated police report I had lodged. He made sure that it was fixed. I was required to go to the police station to prove I wasn't the person...

It happened to me with Virgin and QF for 6 to 12 months years ago. I asked an agent once and was told that someone with the same name did something bad but I left it that. No one was unpleasant to me or anything. That same name caused a bunch of police to turn up at my place one evening to...
