There are a great number here who hold cards other than the plat charge but offers for them stopped a while back. The card clarification here would serve two purposes: confirmation that the non-plat charge offers have or may have started again (wishful!!) and offers for the plat charge may or...

Yes the nitwit is not always at the coal face but that's no less annoying from the customer's POV. Thankfully we have unfair dismissal laws in Australia, which in your case the concept of also appears to escaped the grasp of the higher up nitwits.

9a. Or rummage around the storage area behind the display yourself (disclaimer: acceptance of this, or otherwise, varies from store to store).

Yes I am thinking the same. EVs: "Anything you can do, I can do better uglier" Mercedes EQ: "No you can't"

Why do the Coles staff not enforce the 5 cards per person rule (or threaten to ban you or make up coughe excuses etc) for other gift cards (that have the same T&C's and earn just as many FB points) as vehemently as they do for these cards? I've never been prevented or even questioned when...

I think the concern is for flights from mid-march onwards.

I wish it was real and applied at all times, not just in high winds. I went to a cricket world cup game in 1999 involving Scotland. It was like a Spencer Tunick photo. Maybe it's a northerner thing though. I also went to the AUS v PAK game at Leeds and there were about 6 streakers that got...

In less than a generation, the Bank of Mum & Dad has become pretty much essential and not just in Sydney. Without them, the money is just not there. I managed to buy an apartment in Doncaster in Melbourne in 2008 on my own. I saved about 100k in 5yrs, which was about 25%. My 20-something...

Definitely not joking and bazball may or may not work anywhere - that's a main feature of it. England has been setting and chasing down big 4th innings targets recently on not-very-english wickets. We've recently beaten weaklings thanks to strong bowling against inexperienced lineups and a...

Many of these %-based offers are uninspiring, in terms of the amount and the retailer. But in some circumstances they might work out better overall if multiple cards/split payments with $X back for $X spend type offers can't be used.

I agree @Rebus that AUS bowlers v ENG batsmen will be the decisive battle this Ashes. Our batting woes will also be complemented by the relatively weak ENG bowling attack. But if ENG bat well, AUS will be on the receiving end of a hiding. If our bowlers dominate, our batsmen may just score...

I got the same. Didn't use my 10% off perk in July and not looking like using this month. Other perks will not be used as better "rewards" can be sourced elsewhere. For eg, there is a new offer for 10% off $60 instore spend at BWS. That's not going to cut it against a regular 20-30%...

OP fits the description of a "rusted on" QF loyalist. Hard to break the shackles when status is involved.

And to save me doing this later, here is The Simpsons predicting where this is heading:

Colours are fine but font is a tad small. Logo is meh. I'll need to zoom in or maybe revert to the old one.

As usual, The Simpsons has already predicted this:

No change here. Still 8k SCs, and still needing 5k on VA.

This is a nice demonstration of why I assume all people are idiots until they prove otherwise.

There was a teaser in the Amex email received yesterday but you'll have to forgive me for not getting excited about 5pts/$ at small retailers. Also forgive my greed but it is not enough of an inducement to go out of my way to visit such retailers, in the same way that I don't rush to buy deli...

Sacre bleu! My latest flights and SC earn indicates that in most instances I'll actually be better off under the new scheme. Being CBR-based, it's not often I purchase a fare (usually Choice) - to anywhere - for under $180. It can be done according to the advertising, but rarely the case when...
