    A colleague in the UK has told me that Amex have just released a £300 / £75 IHG offer there. Perhaps there is hope an offer will soon come out here.

    Absolute carnage on US markets overnight so a vote of confidence on America becoming rich again. Is now the time to buy? Just been reading a few reports - consensus is we are firmly in bear market territory now, especially the Nasdaq.

    Australian Cricket Season 2024-2025

    SA are 3 down and need less than 100 to win. This has been a fabulous final and maybe there are some more twists to come but SA are now firm favourites.

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    The Sydney Trains gate fee at the airport is a massive public policy failure - apparently we get the politicians we deserve.

    Article: Should Qantas Have a Minimum Reward Seat Guarantee?

    Australian Cricket Season 2024-2025
