In Y+ and no relevant status, so no SQ lounge access. I'm nevee super-excited about the Amex lounge but I marginally prefer to The House (somewhat pettily I don't like the tiny glasses). Third time in SQ Y+ this year and its a decent product. Its a B777-300 (slightly preferred the A350)...

First challenge: Go to online checkin for UL flights and although I can get an electronic boarding pass for CMB-LHR, I can't be issued one for SIN-CMB. No joy calling UL either. On departure day, I hadn't taken the whole day off work (I have a Monday morning clinic that avoids people staying...

I had been planning my trip to England last month for my 30 year med school reunion from 11 months before. It was the culmination of hours on AFF picking up tips on earning and burning via multiple avenues. I was quite pleased with myself. SYD-SIN SQ Y+ (52.5k VA + $209) SIN-CMB-LHR UL J (75K...

Very interesting with the NAB card As an aside, wonder what happens if you part pay with points-earning gift cards and part with debit card (or low-earn credit card). The numbers would still match and might dodge the store credit refund problem

The Visas have been coming round reasonably often and are much easier to liquidate as can be used online. The eftpos need to be at the company office/store or the Post Office

I think he means the 'naughty' trick of tapping the eftpos card (rather than original payment method) for a refund

$6.95 on the $100. Is that an increase or am I imagining? Edit: I'm imagining-confusing with the Visas. Non-viable for me at that level

I stuffed up my meaning. Prices do go up while you wait. My feeling is that the illusion is that they go up because you are looking

Interested if anyone has success doing this. My impression is that the illusion of prices going up while you delay booking is due to a cheap fare-bucket filling in the meantime, rather than an algorithm spotting your interest

If you havent done so already, you should link your SQ account on the Amex website; yoy can't do this on the app. Occasionally there is a delay while this is approved (and you'll have oriented yourself to the points transfer tab). My impression is that points are available shortly after purchase...

A frayed knot

We need to end this thread without belay and make a bowline for the exit

Another Dozen Deal case. Best of SA Shiraz. Identical to the previous Best of SA Reds with Shiraz substituting CS. $139.09 net of Cashback

I think its probably OTT but it does give an insight into food that affects blood sugar levels. High glycaemic index food (e.g sugary snacks or processed carbs like white bread) will spike more. It can therefore be used to guide a healthier diet. A colleague of mine (young, slim and fit)...

Never read. Emma chisit?

I'd believe you. Some health professionals who dont know you from Adam might not. My natural tendency is to trust unless the picture doesnt fit and it matters to the diagnostic/treatment process. I dont see it is my mission to demand my patients follow all public health advice to the letter...

That's right. See post 34242. When Im struggling to disentangle threads, the little arrow next to the quoted post can be helpful

I dont think writing down double happens but there is scepticism about self-reports. Last night at the dinner table, I was discussing a little feisty old lady who had fallen after 3 drinks that all and sundry were saying was an alcoholic ( I thought not). My 13 yo was sure she was lying. One...

I find that some of my more 'sheltered' junior doctors attribute all sorts of medical admissions as entirely due to alcohol when the actual amounts are quite modest and there is an alternative explanation. Conversely, I have seen many older people presenting with levels over 0.2 despite seeming...

I am sure that's true. We get through 4x10% off (2 insurances 2 Everyday Extra) a month
