My experience with Wise also made me Wise up to the risks with these platforms. I'm still with them and using it but much more aware. Opening the business account mid 2020. Two tears later out of the blue I received this email So a flurry of checking and of course all of my ASIC returns are...

Is this just an automation of the old exchange rate shopping around? Remember when travellers checks were a thing and Hotel reception provided currency exchange. I never used a hotel exchange rate but we all know they were ridiculous rates. This new dynamic method is people accepting the...

The cash limit is a big drawback. It depends on where you are travelling. Modern countries Japan, Singapore where everything is paywave the cash doesn't mater. Philippines, Vietnam it is more critical. But I am a fanboy for Wise just for clarity and immediateness of transaction amounts. Spend...

thanks for the feedback Scarlett and JackMiles. I have come to the conclusion that the larger bikes are not going to be for my risk but the <50cc can be my transport for a while. We will probably do a van tour for the longer distances then ride locally in some of the regional towns.

I’m considering doing some motorbike touring during an upcoming trip to Vietnam and wanted to clarify the licensing and insurance situation. I know many Australians have traveled there and done motorbike tours on various bikes, but the legalities can be confusing. Licensing: No local license...

Taking the option for a direct flight from BNE-SGN I took up a business class deal through APG Distribution on Vietjet. The fare includes lounge access at BNE. From the VJ website they use Premium Plaza Lounge. The Plaza website shows a closing time of 11p,m. The scheduled departure is...

We have an apple airtag hidden in the back of the car. Bear in mind: Needs a battery change each 12 months so it cannot be totally inaccessible. New passengers (kids' mates with iphones) have reported getting the "there is an airtag following you" message It can be disconcerting when you are...

yes. a little bit of twisted logic calculating to still get paid in the event of a cancellation without first locking away the sale in the first place

That was exactly my problem with the first booking which I ended up doing as two bookings both within the CC limit. I did not look or expect to see a way to use multiple payments on the SQ site. When I had this same fare booked through an agent, the price was the same but there was a an...

Here's a way to 'hold' a fare for two weeks on the SQ website giving you time to arrange other details before committing the funds. When making a recent booking directly on the SQ website I had processed a booking all the way to the payment page where upon I needed to go transfer some funds to...

Did anyone buy any of the AO NFT offerings from 22 23? AO Presser here latest media It turns out NFTs of tennis balls that sold for $3 million aren't worth much after all and I just died of not-surprise

My most recent transit was BKK-SIN-BNE with a 60 minute SIN transit. BKK-SIN arrived 90 minutes late in SIN. I was hoping for a free SIN stopover. Prior to disembarking the announcement was for some cities to approach the ground staff for new boarding passes, we just had to get from T2 to T3...

Manila pre-boarding took my empty water bottle. Of course I protested but the guy was pointing to the bin of other water bottles they had confiscated. In any case there was nowhere to refill the empty bottle anyway.

Maybe point the security person & management to this paragraph https://www.apec.org/groups/committee-on-trade-and-investment/business-mobility-group/abtc/faq Or better still this one at https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/entering-and-leaving-australia/business-travel-card/overview

It's bookable via the SQ Website and TAs. It 'could' be a RTW with SQ for the same price if we land into JFK and then depart out of EWR to SIN. We we will spend some time in Washington and Vegas before heading up to Seattle. The SQ fare only cross USA option is the EWR-SIN.

I'm in the final stages of booking a RTW airfare for September with SQ via their website. BNE-(sin)-LHR FRA-JFK SEA-(sin)-BNE A refundable Business Standard fare comes in at $9,400 per person. There will be internal flights booked separately Europe MAN - BER USA NYC (any) - LAS LAS - SEA...

thanks.

I'm currently in the process of booking an SQ multicity itinerary which includes a departure from FRA. When entering the airports I'm also seeing an option for "QYG" German railway stations. How is this code used? Specifically is it going to be useful to leverage on my leisurely rail trip from...

I've noticed that the Airtag batteries last about one year. So being the efficient traveller I removed the batteries in my suitcases when I'm not travelling. Well now I can't find one of them that I put sans battery. It was last seen as at the date of my last return. Annoying but it will be found.

For the past two years I have carefully ensured that Mabuhay Mile numbers are entered on points earning PR itineraries. I check the MM account after one month and the miles just never post at all. I make a claim via the online claim tools and it works immediately recognising the flight/ticket...
