    My teacher told me not to worry about spelling because in the future there will be autocorrect. And for that I am eternally grapefruit.

    QF wine are hopeless

    I do have about 8 weeks until end of year, but still sitting about 50K short of PC+. I generally earn around 10-15K/month from just living/existing, so was looking for a simple 20K-ish to drop me over the line. So long as the 10% discount code I was provided stacks with PC+ 10% discount, then...

    QF wine are hopeless

    well, you got a better outcome than me. Last Friday I ordered some points that were supposed to come with a free case of "Elite Red Cellar Dozen" wines. Today (Tuesday) I received an email saying the order has been cancelled as they are "out of stock", and provided me a 10% off discount code...

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    I doubt they will stack. Best option may be to place the minimum order that triggers the FIRSTORDER bonus, and then use your $50 voucher for a second purchase of points-with-a-free-case-of-wine.

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    Indeed. I would prefer to get the 2 x transferable lounge invites (that I can give to family/friends to use) rather than Qantas Club membership which I get from virtue of having attained Lifetime Gold status. As it stands, the only additional benefit of PC+ over PC for someone like me with...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Multi-layered protection is normally a good thing. When the airlines won't protect you, it's time to protect yourself in other ways - one being to plan an overnight layover, the other being travel insurance. Of course neither get you to your final destination with minimal delay. It's more about...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Travel insurance is not concerned about airline memberships. Policies differ in their definition of a connection. But in general, so long as it is a "valid" connection in terms of minimum connection times, and as @MEL_Traveller pointed out it may need to be long enough to allow bag collection...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Which I why I specifically said to "make sure it's protected", because terms and conditions vary between policies and between cover providers.

    Whatever you do, make sure its "protected" by your travel insurance under "Missed Connections" - just in case.

    AFF Point Valuations

    Hard points expiry is a major consideration in programs for me. And one reason that AAdvantage is my primary alternate to QFF. I would have lost many thousands of miles/points across several programs (airlines, hotels) if hard expiry applied to my used programs. I am willing and able to maintain...

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    Do you happen to have some Qantas Business Rewards points? I have a QBR account, but rarely accumulate points in it. But I do have about 19K points sitting there and that is buffer for end-of-year Points Club top-up if needed. QBR requires an ABN so not available to everyone. And many of my QBR...

    The lithium battery problem has hit Australia - fire on Domestic Flight

    Perhaps the high number of "reputable brands" on this list is because its the reputable brands that follow the processes and issue recalls while the lesser-known brands just deny or bury their heads in the sand? And of course such process does not apply to people buying from cheap international...

    The lithium battery problem has hit Australia - fire on Domestic Flight

    I just hope they can tell the difference between lithium type rechargeable batteries and other battery chemistries that do no experience thermal runaway or spontaneous ignition. I am thinking of NiMH rechargeable AA/AAA type batteries that I use in things like wireless mouse and Bose QC15...
