    Infant booking on International Classic reward

    Just as @sudoer pointed out, infants travel for free if they're in your lap but taxes/fees are occasionally charged based on carrier. My partner and I traveled round the world last year in business using only Qantas classic rewards. We flew QF and AY (Finnair). On our SIN-HEL flight we paid no...

    Rooted Android phone and financial apps

    Not me personally, but several friends have been asked to do it by the TSA at both coasts of the USA Maybe, maybe not, but I have a fundamental issue with the "if you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to hide" argument

    Rooted Android phone and financial apps

    Several reasons. The one most relevant to this forum is ability to dual boot. I don't like the idea that airport security can force me to unlock my phone or refuse my entry if I don't. So I can have a different boot option and load a fake OS.

    Churning - when the golden goose stops laying

    The main shortcoming of all these churning strategies is dealing with refunds to cancelled credit cards. I've bumped up against that 3 times, and, depending on the financial institutions, they can be really annoying to deal with. ANZ was easy but then sent a physical check that I had to cash...

    Churning - when the golden goose stops laying

    You raise a good point! I removed several columns for the purpose of the screenshot. I do keep a records of the fees, CPP, as well as a copy-paste of what I put as running expenses as I can never be bothered working it out every time

    Churning - when the golden goose stops laying

    I've yet to be refused except for one where I put in bad information by accident and I've been churning quite a bit since late 2019. Back when I began I had just started earning 6 figures, I'm now well above where I was then. Here's a (dates modified) chart of my churning. I'm missing a card...

    Rooted Android phone and financial apps

    This is a question for my fellow tech nerds. I normally root my phones, but my newest phone, a Samsung Galaxy, has Knox which will permanently trip the "phone is rooted" flag in the chipset itself. It's irreversible. I've heard some financial apps will not work on rooted devices, just wondering...

    How to book Velocity Amex free flight?

    Did they recently remove Newcastle from the list of departure airports? What a bummer. I just went to cash in one of these and NTL does not show up anymore

    Domestic to International transfer in Melbourne

    Just called and they weren't able to put the two rewards bookings together, so I've booked MEL-DOH-OSL as one booking, and will book NTL-MEL separately. This is better actually, won't have to go from SYD. A bit more cost but only slightly. In fact, I should see about using that Velocity AMEX...

    Domestic to International transfer in Melbourne

    For Virgin domestic arrivals in Terminal 3, is it pretty quick to walk to T2 international departures? This seems like a bit tight but doable as long as Virgin through checks the luggage, right? I might just book the domestic leg separately to get an earlier one

    Q Suite Question

    Does anyone know if the Doha - Melbourne ER300 (QR 988) has QSuite? Flying my sister in from Norway and she's never flown business class - thought I'd remedy that for her and QSuites is a nice one. Also, as I am booking from my Velocity account, should I put her contact details (phone number...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    Our CEO just bought a new Taycan EV. Looks stunning. I think I'd feel weird riding around in something like that though, I wouldn't enjoy the attention
