I remember when BankSA paid me interest for having surplus funds on my card.

Gift cards are just not worth the hassle sometimes IMO. I like a generic card, ideally 10% off (come on Coles vanilla) where it is easy to dump any residual balance on your health insurance or similar.

Doesn't sound trivial to me!

I've never liked staff being informal. Yes very stuffy of me. It could be a menswear assistant calling me "dude" (when I was younger) for example. Or for the sake of this thread, it is why I have never really liked Virgin.

They'd only store a token, not card number, just like Google or Apple Pay.

I sent a PM - thanks!

I was pleasantly surprised on arrival in to MEL international last month. Within 1 hour of landing we were driving out of the long term carport, having collected checked baggage that was amazingly quick, declaring some food, waiting for the long term bus and wasting considerable time looking for...

Exactly. Not to mention he is battered up and his wife is in intensive care. He has a bit on his on mind, the poor bloke.

Spend $340 for 2200 points. Hmm.

As you know, Singapore is damn hot and humid. Marina Bay is not far, but a 25 minute walk in that weather and you will arrive dripping. We walked around so much anyway, that taking a 1 or 2 stop train trip for minimal cost and less sweating didn't feel lazy. The Stamford was excellent. I...

I can't tell you about Bangkok, but for reference we just stayed in an Executive room at Accor's Swissotel Stamford in Singapore. It came with breakfast, nightly drinks and snacks. The snacks at drinks time were substantial and essentially dinner. It was a fair bit more than $100 extra a night...

Maybe, but I value points at 1 cent each anyway. This is based on domestic travel where Classic award flights are easy to come by. 8000 points plus $40 for a MEL to ADL or SYD trip that I can otherwise get for around $120. I don't travel enough to care about status credits so I will save $80...

Does the word "stampede" stem from a QF press release or us it true? If true it's okay with me. Let others use their points up on Classic Plus, especially when I have plans for trips

For room service it seems a good idea but I can't stand this in a Cafe or restaurant and I usually ask for a printed menu. Trying to read a menu on your phone (particularly a large menu), keying in credit card details etc is an absolute pain. Then they have the nerve to offer a suggested tip. A...

I use Coles No Annual Fee card. Gives a low Flybuys earn, but usually comes with a sign on bonus.

No plans for me

Well, good luck to _flyer. Pity I didn't get in first. Very nice of you.

Could you book a refundable fare, cancel down the track and get a refund and $129 travel credit?

Nearly 20 years ago my now wife and I were in southern Argentina in a small hotel on the ground floor (of 2 levels). We were awoken by a terrible racket. It turns out it was the national lottery draw. I don't if it was a replay because it was pretty early. It involved children singing out the...

Price rise. $27.10 less 20% (buy 2+) yesterday! Very happy. The cheapest gin they had at Lotte too.
