Shame. I photographed this plane taxiing at Sydney airport last week whilst having lunch. Hope there’s no significant damage.

Thanks for the heads up. Might stash some in the freezers…

Was having my lunch near Sheps mound a few metres back from the runway as I work nearby and saw a QF 787 taxiing for takeoff. Took a pic and checked the rego out of curiosity and it departed SYD with destination also SYD so can only assume it’s for training? Either way watching it go past...

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll collect a bunch and load them into my Apple account. Wonder if coles still have hard copies of their catalog at the front of their stores still. I’m tired of arguing with the staff at my local over scams so might come armed with proof of the promo.

Has anyone noticed a delay in bonus points being awarded over the last few days? I’d typically get my base points on coles spend a day after along with any bonus points. Now I’m missing bonus points on a few transactions over the last few days and I’ve had to hold onto receipts. Hoping it’s just...

How can they be compromised? As in the packaging has been tampered with?

Personally I don’t agree with having to quarantine for any length of time if I’m fully vaccinated, even if it is at home. What I’m curious about is how home quarantine would work if I were to return to a home that others are living in. Are they all expected to quarantine, just the return...

Can’t say I’m much of a collector but I have collected a few things throughout my travels. Don’t really have a favourite but I did buy a nice papyrus from Egypt and not the cheap, fake type that the touts try to offload at the usual tourist sites. Also bought a menorah from Israel and a small...

Do Hilton points expire? I made diamonds with VA platinum perk and my last stay was in Adelaide a couple months ago. Only have a small stash of ~85k points but wouldn’t mind using them for a night in the Hilton tel Aviv when I’m back.

Thanks for all the comments. It's good to see people are still in the game whilst its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As others have mentioned I also converted all the velocity points to KF with the intention to use them on a first class trip to India in May 2020. That obviously...

nah priced it all up with QF points. QF to Bangkok and then ELAL to Israel. Last trip to Israel was in 2019 via the US. I booked a couple of tickets for the back of the plane as it seems almost empty. You could imagine my shock when a huge group of 12 year olds boarded and had the whole back end...

I found availability for SYD - BKK and then onwards to TLV. Second leg is with ELAL which I’ve flown with a number of times. Had some good and not so good experiences with them.

I suppose as others have mentioned, huge points balance won’t matter if availability is scarce. I want to go back to Israel next year and did find availability for June 2022 at 143k one way business. I guess I could book and take the points refund if the flight doesn’t eventuate. Thankfully QF...

Was recently having a conversation with a mate who lives overseas. Both of us chase points and status. Travel is becoming a lot easier for him now that Covid is being dealt with but it’s still a slow process for us over here. Got me thinking if anyone has thrown in the towel or considering it in...

I might bite on this offer. An easy 10k points. I have had dramas in the past with the staff not wanting to sell more than a few and citing scams. Gets frustrating arguing with them.

I consistently get $230 spend for 9200 points which is a pretty easy target. These offers typically run for 3 days which will then be followed by the exact same offer. I do my shop in between the first offer expiring and the second offer commencing and I get the points for both promos even...

If you’re at my local and find a stash of MasterCards in the freezers behind the Ben & Jerry’s, they’re mine!

As a mere gold member after flying mostly with virgin and it’s partners I also copped one in the mail. Definitely welcomed in the loo reading stash!

I apologise if this has been asked before and it’s probably a silly question but what is the likelihood of Emirates resuming services between AU and NZ?

I used ~$8700 worth last year at JB and earned quite a few QF points too! Let me just say the receipt took a while to print...
