    Qantas Wine latest offering

    Went for the Thompson Estate Chardonnay. $430.60 (after PCP discount and voucher) for 27,875 points (so 1.54cpp). Not the absolute best value, but I'm far more likely to drink chardonnay than a shiraz or cab sav that feature further up the value list.

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    For those people willing to take a punt on Aramex, there's triple points at Qantas Wines until 26 November. (Despite Aramex being cough, have decided to burn off my second PCP voucher.)

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    Yeah - I bought Piper Heidsieck for my family Christmas through Coles. Came to $174 for four bottles delivered. (Don't forget to throw in the free food items too!)

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    BR is pretty good IME. Flew them from AMS to BKK last year (booked through Lifemiles) and it was very nice. Your best bet for TPE to BNE is BR too. I take it there's no availability in J? At any rate, BR's TPE-BNE flight is a daytime flight so while not great (and not in the spirit of AFF), it...

    I did as he was walking back. He sheepishly went and got the parcel and delivered it to me then, muttering an apology.

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    Yup - booze through Coles and Woolies count towards the spend for Flybuys/EDR offers. (Have ordered four bottles of Piper Heidsieck for the family Christmas lunch - at $44 a bottle , it was too good a deal to pass up...)

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    First delivery under the brave new world of Aramex and it was delivered to the wrong address! Despite me standing at my front gate next to my clearly marked street number, the courier walked right by me and delivered it to the wrong house (with equally clear numbering showing something...

    Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

    I think the fact I got an extra 200 points does point to some dodgy IT. However, the key thing IME is whether the offer disappears a few minutes after scanning my QFF card. That usually indicates a single use offer. (I have had points not credit correctly using the BP card, so perhaps that may...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    500 points for a $40 spend. A nice bonus for week two of three of my $75/10000 point offers. (And 100 points for $10 on poultry.)

    Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

    Phew! All points credited correctly, and I was even credited with an extra 200 points from a bonus offer that had expired earlier in the week so happy with that. So the $100 spend at BP on the 10x products can be across multiple shops.

    Citi cards become myCard - no more CX, KF, EY, QR from 16/11/25

    They paid the money for the 'white label' credit card business (where a business effectively sold a Citi credit card under their own branding - Coles being one such example). Basically, it was a plan to grow NAB's credit card business, while Citi wanted to retreat from retail banking in most...

    Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

    Ah cough! I went to two servos to buy the Favourites as neither had enough stock. The wording on the website is ambiguous though. On the one hand it says "Earn 10x points when you buy any participating shop item (Smith Minis 90-150g varieties, Cadbury Favourites 265g, Dare 750ml) in-store in a...

    Cathay Pacific booking classes

    IME, I flew from MEL-HKG-ICN with MEL-HKG in E premium economy earlier this year. It does indeed earn at flexible economy rates (rather than premium economy). You'll lose a few points, but at least the SC earn is the same.

    Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

    On this, I just (re-)signed to Binge after a lengthy hiatus. The email I received indicated charging is scheduled to take place on 23 November (after the one week trial) so this suggests that, practically speaking, if you want to use Binge to get the points, you may need to sign up by 22...

    Who else still holds the Citibank Free For Life Premier Card?

    Welcome to AFF! Legal policy peep in the consumer space here, so was pleased to get your take as it aligned with my view on the question of NAB handling FFFL cards. (And the poster you’re responding to accused me of peddling conspiracy theories when I suggested that a previous expiry date for...

    Who else still holds the Citibank Free For Life Premier Card?

    Assuming there’s still a ‘Premier’ MyCard, my guess is that FFFL holders will get that. Whether they sell MyCards or just use them to retain ex-Citi/Suncorp customers remains to be seen but if still sold, it should be a decent card (at least until the RBA does its next round of gutting...

    Who else still holds the Citibank Free For Life Premier Card?

    This isn’t an ACL issue, but there may well be a breach of section 12DB of the ASIC Act relating to false or misleading representations as to the price of a financial service (which mirrored the former Trade Practices Act provision relating to false or misleading representations). The...

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    Yes, the standard rooms are available without stay plus ticked. Of the 12 posted yesterday, the Fairmont is no longer available so there are 11.

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    FWIW, the Stamford’s cheaper rooms are showing as booked over 3-5 April so it’d be a punt to cancel. The cheapest flexible stay plus room currently is a Premier Marina Bay one at $628 all in. The second night was not free, but rather $47 plus tax (so ~$56 all up)

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    Just booked the Pullman Tokyo Tamachi for three nights using a Stay Plus. It picked the middle night as the free one (correctly, as it was the most expensive at $608). B&B rates were available, but not half board. It also claimed to allow redemption of points, but this wasn’t available at check...
