    Wendouree allocations and general discussion

    Was about to post I hadn't had a hit on the card yet but then checked just now and I see I've received one for about 2/3 of what I expected, so I've clearly missed out on something. Looks to be just Cabernet Malbec and Muscat for me this year, from my rough maths.

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    Yes, I've seen them but I lack the ability to control charging my battery from the grid, so these plans don't work well for me. I was with Alinta and making hay... but when they lowered their FiT to 4cents or stepped, the numbers just didn't stack up. And I would often move my electricity...

    Accor offering 1000pts for a 1hr frequent stayer video session

    Couldn't see anything when I logged in. Never saw no to some points on offer for free and might even give them some feedback they can use... whether they use it or not is up to them. Think I'd draw the line at one of those timeshares talks though.

    Do Accor hotels generally store your luggage for one or more days between stays?

    Likewise on mail being received at a hotel, I've had a package arrive to a hotel before I even got there, but did let them know it was coming. Funnily enough, was also in Frankfurt.

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    The last few times I have re-contracted I have mentioned I have solar, but not a battery too. Should I be paying more for my electricity, or less - if I let them know I also have a battery? Of course, I think it would be quite obvious considering my sometimes less than 1kWh/day usage :p

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    I have a battery that can run in series over several stacks, so I have two stacks due to height issues, and am talking with my installer about adding a third stack now the federal rebate is around to potentially get to about 38.4 kWh total. I have an EV and work in the office...

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    I'm in QLD and have had a battery since beginning of last year, so can give you some data if you like, happy to share all the numbers. My battery is 25.6kWh. Wish I could go solely with Amber - my battery isn't technically supported by them, so I have to use another company in between and it's...

    P1 Rebrand

    I really like the bag, shame it's not got the battery like their other ones though. Not thrilled with the price and hardly travel these days. Think it'll look lovely with my Red or LTGold Qantas tags hanging off it though :D Might wait to see if there's going to be a P1 discount before I...

    Feedback on the AFF website & brand refresh

    Looking forward. Having gone through at least one of these in the past I understand it can be difficult to please everyone and there will always be teething issues that you can't see in testing.

    App / Booking issues

    I had this a couple weeks ago where a booking disappeared from the app. It eventually re-appeared. Having a look now - my bookings are there today.

    What is your favourite hotel loyalty program, and why?

    Currently I use ALL as my main program. As others have said, Signature and Accor+ really sweeten it for me. Previously loved IHG and have dabbled with Hilton and Marriott thanks to AMEX Platinum freebies, but don't find them good value to me as self-funded. I would say I look at the value of...

    Jetstar Asia to shutdown on 31 July 2025

    My mother within the last 12 months booked one of these QF>JQ flights to get to BKK as she didn't want to transit SYD and didn't realise what a shambles it would be transiting SIN. She vowed never again. Turns out she gets her wish.

    Vinomofo Wine Deals

    That's what I thought it was over the weekend before coming here and realising it wasn't. Would have been very happy with Coleraine, so glad I didn't pull the trigger prematurely. I'm on the lookout constantly for Chatto Creek, they wont ship out of NZ and were offered only once that I can see...

    Rockfords discussion

    I was similar, over a tasting I eventually succumbed. Helps that it's my 40th this year and it would be the perfect way to start the evening for that shindig!

    Rockfords discussion

    They are a key sponsor of the BVF held biennially, so tend to run an event during the period. They held the same event 2 years ago, but the DiPalma (I think I got that right) vineyard is actually cropping now. The link might not remain active for much longer, but the details are here: Barossa...

    Rockfords discussion

    Did anyone else get along to the Grenache from the Ground Up event this year, held during the Barossa Vintage Festival? Highlight was the 1998 Moppa Springs from a magnum! And separately, any Stonewallers partake in the single allocation Black Shiraz Magnum on lees since 2001?
