    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    It's fascinating to read the posts in this thread. A subject matter we have never encountered before. The different viewpoints no doubt reflect the discussions we all have with family friends and work colleagues. Some of the posters would seem to have medical knowledge which is helpful...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    The national medical authorities never said that interstate borders should be closed. It was the state Premiers that made the call. Surely it's now time to reopen them given the very low number of cases.

    According to reports today the British cabinet will be considering exemptions from the 14 day quarantine for Australians to enter there. There are at least 2 obvious problems should that happen; *Australia would be extremely unlikely to agree to a reciprocal agreement given the high numbers in...

    NAB QF Rewards Signature card application questions

    Things have changed I know, but I've had the NAB card a couple of times in the past 5 years and easily the easiest approval considering the big bonus points and I'v been retired for nearly 6 years!

    Amex Membership Points to Velocity or Singapore Airlines? I have plenty of Qantas Points.

    I also have quite a few Qantas points but not enough for 2 next year for international return in J (assuming we can travel overseas). My plan is to use Qantas points 1 way and Krisflyer the other. My problem at the moment is I want to build up my Krisflyer miles by finding a card that earns...

    Do Tasmanian Woolworths customers really prefer the "Frequent $hopper Club"?

    Mixed feelings about this change. Current FSC works well. When swiping the FSC at checkout you will be asked if you want to use your $$ credit off your current shop provided it's over $10. On the positive side when Woolworths Rewards starts I will earn both Qantas and Krisflyer points with the...

    The way out of lockdowns etc in Australia

    A group of 10 of us have paid for Rod Stewart concert tickets in Queensland early November. At this stage we have no idea if the tour will go ahead. It will probably depend on international border restrictions. It looks like interstate flights will be going by then. It's also going to depend on...

    Advice on VPN

    Problem sorted. Used the support topics on ExpressVPN. Pretty simple really. Turned off location on device and tried yet another location in the US (LA -3) and away I went. I should have thought about the location thing before I know.

    Advice on VPN

    Thanks. I tried using San Francisco and LA but no go. Also tried using another (new) account with different email address after signing out of the first one. I sent a message to ExpressVPN and waiting on reply. Also did Google search and found a UK site (PixelPrivacy) which gives ExpressVPN...

    Advice on VPN

    I have Express VPN and signed up to Amazon Prime Video through a US location. I want to start watching Bosch season 6 which just started in the US but not in Australia for probably 6 months. There are other shows that look appealing as well not on the Australian site. The US site knows I am...

    Amex not able to take payment or answer calls

    I haven't been able to look at my points account on the Amex site so got onto the chat function and "spoke" to someone pretty quickly. As far as payment goes no problem from my bank using Bpay.

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    I only just read this but it may be worth following up with a class action currently going on. A real long shot but maybe you can do some research. I had a policy with Colonial Mutual in the 1980's and the class action is around the company not investing in a manner that was in the clients best...
