If my general appearance hasn't given the impression, pocketing anything that isn't nailed down works for me. But taking a photo of your champagne next to your passport/boarding pass is probably the best way to do it.

You could also look at other credit cards that include it? OTTOMH I think the ANZ Traveller Cards might have it, amongst others.

Mrs Happy Dude has this card and we're aware it doesn't have rental car excess cover. I keep the Explorer card pretty much exclusively for that purpose/benefit, however there are a few noteworthy limitations including 30 day hire max, campers excluded, and a $100k car value. Need to be...

<Robbery!> :mad:

No problems :cool: I'm sure it would have been sent to more than just "a bunch" of random numbers. The fact that it didn't bounce back and show as undelivered would have confirmed my number is real. They wouldn't have done anything if it did bounce back though. I won't actually get a response...

I got one of those "Aus Post we can't deliver your package because the post code is incorrect" texts the other day. I responded with "Well you're the Post Office and you invented the post codes so you look up the correct one". Still waiting for a response.

The whole top order has been experimental for a while now. Green at 3 suggests they feel they don't have much to choose from. Seems like they're content to guess who should be where in the top 4, until someone gets a hundred and then say that'll do. I think Boland has to play more often, at...

Ok. The moneysmart calculator assumes 15% tax on earnings and some account fees though.

Yes I've been showing them the compound interest spreadsheets hoping to instill the saving mentality. It's not very easy to invest in their names while they're under 18 though. The "unearned income" taxes are penal.

You'll have to share the calculator and assumptions you're using. I used $30k SG as per your post. The calcs treat anything above that as post tax contributions. If he had a mill at age 45 he'd have a chance at getting to $3m. That is a realistic for someone just starting out so it will...

Was just about to post this too. My professor used a model with a light fixed to a toy plane to demonstrate the noise illumination and shadow zones (and the buildings affected by it). I recall seeing some pretty cool images of jumbos flying between the high rises.

There must be a lot of "+ deductable topping up" going on here. Assuming none and no tax on earnings and no fees, that 55yo would get to $2.015m according to the moneysmart calculator. The calculator tops out at $95k/per year for after tax contributions, but say $52k/yr (ie $1k/week), then...

I know right? Just chuck money at it and the problems go away. 😉

Wait...why not? I'm also well and truly bamboozled. Or are you referring only to DSCs (noting the thread we're in)? I think we need a "How many status credits will I earn?" sticky.

How are you so sure that QF made changes to the announcement in response to pressure from "them"? QF didn't flinch in the face of extreme criticism from "those people" during the Voice referendum, so why would they now? My guess is that the changes had nothing to do with "them" - so y'all...

Just seeking a sanity check on this if I may please. I'm looking at options for a family holiday to Vietnam from CBR. For it to be "VA marketed", must I book through the VA website? And if I book direct with SQ and credit to VA, SCs earned will count only towards the non-VA 400 of the 800...

Booked CBR-MEL and MEL-CBR for the wife who pools to me. Both were Choice fares (ie matters only that they're not Lite fares) Costs were $169.00 and $279.99 respectively*. SCs expected: 14 ($169/12 = 13.08) and 24 ($279.99/12 = 23.33)** SCs received/pooled: 14 and 23 So NFI if VA are rounding...

The Canterbury in Sydney I think mate

@Quickstatus at what point in your case did the insurance company own the car? As soon as they wrote it off or when they took it from where you moved it to? If the former, shouldn't they have been responsible for moving it from the freeway?

@Mattg so according to the VA FAQs, anyone who has a review date after 1 Oct, will have their status determined under the new rules regardless of when or how the SCs were earned? That really doesn't seem fair. It will capture many who think they've maintained their status because that's what...
