    Article: Qantas Auckland Lounge Upgrade: The End of an Era

    I used 5 no problems late January. Booked to use them a month or so earlier. The lounge was almost empty and it was a Sunday.

    Tips for Churning When you Have a Mortgage?

    Bills but not mortgage, right? I had one card issuer tell me I had to say half the mortgage was mine, even though my wife earns more, and therefore effectively pays more.

    1Cover - requiring pre-payment / going hard on pre-existing conditions?

    I agree. My point is that unless they have clear (known) grounds not to pay then they should be obliged to pay. Even if the policy holder has withheld something, the insurance company usually wouldn't know that. The fact they agreed to pay in the end with some waiver sounds like an admission...

    1Cover - requiring pre-payment / going hard on pre-existing conditions?

    I know we dont have both sides here, but on what ground did they initially refuse to pay for the second procedure. Any evidence of a pre-existing condition? Then they agree to pay with a waiver. Why? Surely the policy has a condition in the contract that negates the need to sign a waiver. Unless...

    Melbourne SkyBus gone up again

    It's not exactly frequent. And you might not want to go to DFO.

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    It's news to me too. A bit annoying to have to have a second app, but so be it.

    Timing of upgrade confirmations

    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...

    Melbourne SkyBus gone up again

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

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    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 definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    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.

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    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...

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

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

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    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.."

    Indonesia's Bali considering increasing Tourism tax levy to deter 'low-class foreign tourists'

    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...

    Indonesia's Bali considering increasing Tourism tax levy to deter 'low-class foreign tourists'

    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...

    Indonesia's Bali considering increasing Tourism tax levy to deter 'low-class foreign tourists'

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