    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    I agree it's nonsense but unfortunately this error has been hanging around for a number of years. Sometimes the computer/agent counts a surface sector two stopovers, sometimes correctly as one.. I've never been able to figure out why and unless you get an experienced agent in HBA there is no...

    Article: Priority Pass Lounge Guide

    My son and his family (total 5 persons) are departing from NRT on Jetstar in January. (I guess we have all had to do such things when travelling with 3 kids.) I think JQ depart from terminal 3. If I am reading the Priority Pass website correctly, there is no PP lounge access in terminal 3...

    Are you a yay or nay to Avois subscriptions

    My Avios subscription is up for renewal again in 12 days. When I initially took out the subscription at GBP455, it worked out to be just on $800 for the Traveller level (thanks to Liz Truss); now with the current exchange rate it's around $940. I'ld be tempted to end it except that new...

    For those that have signed up to Binge, what's the content like? I realise that we're all doing it for the SCs but I would feel happier if I knew that there will be something I would like to watch.

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    Yes indeed. When it comes to government borrowing I support it for infrastructure, but not for recurrent expenditures. Let's take the example of the Sydney Harbour bridge. Who should have paid for its construction: those paying tax in 1936 or those who will/continue to get the benefit of its...

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    To be fair, you need to acknowledge that those oldies who are self-funding their retirement are saving the government(s) significant sums each year. A couple drawing the maximum Age Pension ($46,202) plus rent assistance ($5,278) is drawing over $51k from the Federal budget; add in various...

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    I should have added that there is nothing to stop me claiming against the Amex for something unrelated to my pre-existing conditions when the benefit is better. However I do need to take an additional policy so that medical expenses resulting from pre-existing conditions are covered.

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    I'm one who has always believed it would over the long term. However the modern philosophy seems to be that the best way to maximize long term profit is by maximizing short term profit.

    Coles gift card offers

    I guess that !,000 bonus points on a $50 card is the equivalent of 20x points. But works out to only 10x points on a $100 card. I don't see value in these offers for $100 cards.

    Woolworths gift card thread

    So $5 (or 500 QF points) back on a $100 card for a $5.95 fee; tell 'em they're dreaming.
