Prices have certainly risen, but I don't shop at Aldi so can't compare if they have stayed the same. I'm pretty confident I wasn't paying $9 for a 6-pack of sausages 2 years ago, but whether that's price gouging or inflation is difficult to tell. They've certainly made some good profits, but...

The muscat was better than I expected based on comments in this thread :p will certainly order more in the future.

Would be very interesting considering the OneWorld/competitor relationship to Qantas, but I guess they'd never be able to fully integrate to Qatar's FF due to this, but should be useful for them nonetheless.

Didn't they previously have a curtain? I recall a curtain at some point in the past decade or so. Regardless, a curtain doesn't do much :p

It appears to be the same as the current design, unless I've overlooked a photo. I would have preferred a physical cabin divider, similar to what is found on the E190s, I believe.

I previously used CellarStak, from a previously generous contributor on AFF a long time ago. Was very useful until I crafted my own room.

Turns out that was all that was not included. Safely in my cellar now and I'll have to decide what I can try first (other than the Muscat) as recommended drink windows all seem to be into the future/end of this decade.

Got a hit on my card yesterday for circa ~$1300. I think when adding it all up originally it should have been ~$1800 so missed a few things, but still a good haul. Will see what I get when it arrives.

I bought two Suzuki Vitara's back in about 2017/2018 new on my Amex Plat Charge. I called Amex first and they suggested at the time if I paid off the first one before placing the second, there'd be no issue, ended up being about $60k all up. The dealership looked at me incredulously and couldn't...

The actual idea is to disincentivise off topic posting. The posts that count are in areas that are core to the theme of the website, rather than fringe topics. Of course, nothing to stop you posting off topic in a core thread/forum, but that would be harder to police.

If a post doesn't count to a higher member title, it likewise won't increase your post count. You could post once in the Qantas forum and 100 times in the playground, but your profile would still just show 1 post to your name.

Considering my credit card details are there for all to see, I'd prefer to know it arrived to the right place than the alternative - no wine and dubious charges :P

Was it a key card where it wouldn't work, or an actual key that did work but you had the night chain across the door so they couldn't open it further than that? Because it sounds more like someone forgot their room number if a key card that wouldn't work. If the key worked, but you were saved by...

This has happened to me, luckily I got a knowledgeable agent on the phone who cancelled the request and resubmitted, and hey presto!

Interesting, my first year as a green crayon (second overall) and my form got back to the Clare last Friday, so shall be keeping an eye out now :)

Have some pre-booked accommodation starting today, and also next week, will be interested to see if I get anything extra or not. Sometimes things work out.

An interesting list you have there, my card (Gold Accor+) currently displays as xx_xx_5 xx_xx_3A 5. Doesn't line up exactly, but more or less there, just reversed.

I've been in similar circumstances as a Platinum, then dropping to Gold, then dropping to Silver (as others qualify for offers), and I expect it will happen again unless I continue shelling for Signature every year, but the points will be useful going forward. Lots of Coldplay tickets on offer...

I have asked about Diamond but bought it for the points value.
