    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    Its pretty clear and straight forward to me. There are two offers. One is Status Credits gift to QFF members based on their current status level. This Status gift is unrelated to PC or PC+ membership. The second is Points gift which is offered to PC and PC+ members. The two gift offers are...

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    According to the Qantas FAQ in the Qantas Points bonus gift section for PC and PC+ members: and So I have no expectation that I will see it in my account until 30th September, No mention of 8th September for the Qantas Points Bonus Gift. The 8th September is only mentioned under the section...

    Thank you for your loyalty

    The SCs are useless to me (Membership year to end September). The 5K points as PC+ member will be handy as I was expecting to be just short of re-qualifying PC+ and was going to move a few points from QBR to get over the hurdle. The 5K might be just enough to be me there without needing to...

    Well, for me the SC gift is absolutely useless. My membership year ends 30th Sept so they are only valid for a few weeks. I hold Lifetime Gold status and will not be reaching Platinum. So the SCs come in , sit in my account for 3 weeks, then disappear. Useless. But the 5000 points ofr PC Plus...

    Is InterContinental Brisbane Just a Crowne Plaza in a Fancier Suit?

    Hopefully Brisbane will get some new or significant refurbishments across a lot of hotel properties in the lead up to the Olympics. I am assuming that is the target/goal for this IC. They have the prime location in the CBD and now have a few years to get the refurbishment done well and position...

    Is InterContinental Brisbane Just a Crowne Plaza in a Fancier Suit?

    Thanks for the update. Planning to stay there pre-Christmas and was not expecting it to be the full IC experience. Its been many years since we stayed there (as a Hilton obviously) and we expecting it to still be very much in the same condition as it would have been when exiting Hilton branding...

    Qantas, Woolworths, BP, Ampol, EG Ampol

    My normal go-to purchase for these cards is via RACQ, where the standing offer is 3% on Wish, 4% on Essentials, and 5% on BWS/Dan Murphies. So I generally go for Essentials and that covers the groceries, dept store stuff and fuel. Unfortunately, no better deal offered to Qld Seniors that I have...

    Qantas, Woolworths, BP, Ampol, EG Ampol

    Surely you can drive to the east coast to fill up - they often have better pricing than local Ampol servos :P

    I was referring to the reduced flexibility of the Essentials card, which can only be used at WW, BigW and EG. Wish is more flexible, but generally has less discount when purchasing

    Qantas, Woolworths, BP, Ampol, EG Ampol

    My go-to is the Essentials card - can be used at Woolworths supermarkets, Big-W and EG Fuel, and available regularly at 4% discount. While Wish is certainly the most flexible, it also generally comes with lowest discount. It comes down to whether the extra 1% discount is worth the reduced...

    Qantas, Woolworths, BP, Ampol, EG Ampol

    I wonder what will become of the ability to use Woolworth's gift cards such as Wish Card and Essentials Card for purchases at EG Australia branded fuel outlets? These cards can be used at EG but not at Ampol Foodary locations. We use this all the time since our local EG is also regularly the...

    A bit of humour

    And I guess the same message stands for an apple as a tomato from one of my kid's favourite kids songs: To market, to market went my brother Jim When someone threw a tomato at him Tomatoes are soft and don't break the skin But this one killed Jim. It was wrapped in a tin.

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    Interesting that the dog was allocated 1B and you were allocated 1A. In Australia, service dogs are always allocated a window seat, which is done to ensure no other passenger needs to step over the dog to get to the aisle. Service dog gets its own boarding pass and seat assignment, even in...

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    And when you consider the value of purchasing the points, the free cases of wine that they throw in are generally great value.

    Air North delayed connections

    If you are concerned about the connection in Perth, plan to travel to Perth the day before and overnight there. This is especially true if your ASP-PER flight is not on the same ticket as your PER-LHR flight, as a delay on the inbound to PER will result in you being a no-show passenger for the...
