The $10 discount is free, you can choose to take it by signing up to flybuys and taking the discount (so long as you do nothing else to gain it)...... the Velocity points similarly are free..... if either are taken by choice without additional cost, they are free..... the only cost is to those...

Same points either approach for a domestic flight. International can be worked out slightly better doing all at once, with round the world fares, or free stopovers etc. but rare in my experience. In my opinion, unless you are highly flexible book one way as soon as it is released and book the...

Expensive status run???

Celebrating the New South Wales Blues win this week 🥳 I am adding in my link to the same offer - 200,000 Membership Rewards points to anyone who signs up using the referral link below, before 8 October 2024, and spends $5K within 3 months. I also will earn 75K points if you signup via this link...

….. and that will be the most common experience for Australian duty free, due to the extreme prices these stores have to pay for their commercial lease. I have seen these lease agreements (at airports), directly tied to their revenue (as a percentage of sales) which all but destroys the 10% GST...

@SYD you are a much more dedicated points hacker than me........ 2,500 QF pts = $25 for a $500 spend....... I have reached "curiosity" level as to where my points are at...... not sure I will get to "concerned" if turns out I stuffed up...... but I will stay curious :)

With around 8 Antonov flights to Noumea in recent weeks (with what one would assume is full of military /riot equipment), not sure France is expecting a quick resolution. Pick a quiet island away from the city.

10th June posting of my SC’s for May

I carbon offset my status runs……. to get green status and more status credits :)…… so that is what correctly priced status credits look like.

Agree…… but noting if I paid a hefty sum for status with Qantas, I will still be loyal to them, to get the return on my investment and the perks of the status. Accor and IHG, both offer options to “buy” status and I for one have been a frequent user of their paid programs. So I think there...

Unfortunately the Port Moresby daytime flights from Asia, will have to be ruled out of the equation........ since PNG is part of the Australian Continent and is not in Asia :) but a wonderful daytime flight anyway :) and a hidden gateway to Asia.

Had the same thing....... turns out the system recognised a recent St George card (closed 12 months earlier) as being an active Westpac Account CRN....... no idea why on lots of fronts...... but guessing the back end systems are merging St George and Westpac CRN's...... either way, it all...

The day after all the terms and conditions for award of points and posting of points, have been met. Facebook seems to be the most responsive contact method

I definitely support keeping good records, as noted eligibility rules change as do the benefits/costs associated with renewal etc. I have 13 years of records (for myself and partner), both churning 3 cards per year, but never churning in succession or any pattern. I try to hold on to cards as...

Antonov AN-124 just landed in Noumea (from France, via Cairns). Not sure it is there for evacuations. Must be bringing in some big hardware.......

100% agree. If in your seat, put your seatbelt on, no other instruction is needed around this. The only additional piece of information needed is when the crew instruct you to return to your seats….. then the default rule once again applies, put your seatbelt on. If we do anything with the...

Interesting info that Escape Lounges has taken over Cairns International. I have not seen them specifically mentioned in any media releases (only that SQ will be the airline that the lounge would be serving). What other insight to you have here (specifically with respect to who they might...

I haven't seen any data points since @Mattg original post on Economy Lite fares, so quick update from me...... it is now possible to upgrade some? all? Economy Lite fares through the UpgradeMe process, just had both my legs of a super cheap Economy Lite fares successfully upgraded through...

Agree, QF may be able to claim it wasn't an "incident" because in their eyes it did not compromise their business (in a hackers eyes, their business definitely had points where it was compromised)...... but the focus in their wording "there is no evidence of a cyber....." was clearly to draw the...

An update on the Qantas App issue “On Wednesday we experienced an issue with the homepage……..” Nope - it was broader than the homepage. “there is no evidence of a cyber incident.” Nope - a cyber incident includes events that are a failure of safeguards or a previously unknown situation that...
