    What cheeses me off

    They're suggesting that you don't just top it, but have some sort of wood chopping action that drives the ball into the turf if you hit it flush on the face 🤣 😭🤣😭

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Understood but through no fault of their own, the hotel and then Hertz caused @jastel some loss (which may have been rectified). It also demonstrates that the company issuing the invoice can obtain rego details and send their invoice (which will look like a ticket) to the registered owner. Or...

    What cheeses me off

    That sure is garbage. Show them a vid of your swing to dismiss their theory? Disgusting that a refund wasn't offered as per Consumer rights.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    I don't know much about the parking system but if there's a third-party, law unto their own company dishing out tickets on behalf of the Hotel, then the Hotel has an obligation to ensure the guest is fully aware of the parking regulations and that guest's vehicles are correctly entered into the...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    I'd be mighty cross with the Hotel in your scenario @jastel. Can they make amends for their error?

    New Amex statement credits

    That's good to know. I had to laugh when I noticed a Laithwaites logo on the Virgin site though. I didn't get around to purchasing the Virgin offer but when I went to buy I couldn't top up to get over $150 as it takes you to a deal-specific page. And the offer can't be put in the cart on the...

    Vinomofo Wine Deals

    As if it isn't hard enough to coincide the amount super needed with one's death, I gotta do it with my wine too??

    Side bets on our annual golf weekend sees us pump $40 into Keno after each round. Once we won 300 dollarydoos. Mate recently won $34k then $1600 the following week. That CMO.

    Article: Public Servants Spent $1 Million More on Flights During Double Qantas Status Credits

    Absolutely, I doubt anyone could reasonably argue otherwise...... provided the travel is a legit need. In which case it's just a coincidence or handy bonus that travel bookings increased during the DSC booking period. If not, and I think this is clear in the tone of the article, the...

    New Amex statement credits

    There's a Virgin Wine deal ($135 for 12 wines, 2 x wine, 2 x stemless glasses, and 4000 point) that would stack with the Amex offer. Dunno if it'll also trigger the Aus and/or Laithwaite offers. $85 for 4000 points isn't special but not bad to get a few points ahead of the winter slow cook season.

    Difficulty Getting An E-Visa for Oman

    I keep a scanned copy of my passport (visa pages, personal info page) in the cloud or web-based email in case I lose the real thing, together with other important documents like driver's license, TI policy/pds. Especially important when travelling. I also keep the same copies on an external...

    Article: Public Servants Spent $1 Million More on Flights During Double Qantas Status Credits

    If a public servant conjures up reasons to get status via work funded travel, a DSC promo saves the taxpayer 50%.

    China - Tibet Autonomous Region and a bit of Japan on the way home

    We trained it up to Lhasa from Chengdu and flew from Lhasa to Xian. Our "private" tour was 12 days which included 2 full days in Lhasa. We had a couple of hours with the guide on arrival then we just did our own thing. All permits and train tickets were sorted by the travel agency about 2-3...

    Coles gift card offers

    Credit cards points and transfer bonus might help the numbers seem less pedestrian. If there were cards in the store I shop at then I'd probably buy them but I wouldn't hunt for them like I otherwise would for a better offer.

    Hilton Diamond through Velocity Platinum status

    I thought I had read reports of some getting a second bite of the hotel cherry when they requalified for Platinum? Had to call and request it, not automatic via website.

    Up to 125 Bonus Status credits with min 2 Business Flyer bookings

    We use Reho and they inserted their ABN on one of my bookings. It couldn't be changed.

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    I'm delighted to read that @olympicwiz. I was going by the langtons vintage chart that was posted here not long ago. 10/10 for Barossa in 2018, 7/10 for 2017. Expectations now raised accordingly. Bang on about the bottle too. It looks and feels like a very substantial wine when holding it...

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    The Righteous FG I received was a 2017. Even though it does say "Vintage is not guaranteed and may vary store to store or when delivered", I'm spewing a little. Thought I bought one of the best recent vintages and got a decidedly average one. 😡
