The question of the quantum of fines is also irrelevant to the matter at hand. The question is who should be fined.

Folks needing to complete 'fuel and cars' should check their emails. This morning, I got a (possibly targeted) email from Qantas inviting me to activate an offer with BP for 3x250 points for three visits (no minimum spend it seems) by 31 January. Time to go and buy a few more bags of chips...

The question of whether or not fines can be contested was, and remains, irrelevant to the discussion at hand and I don't understand why you're making such a big thing about it... The original quote by @Brissy1 was "I presume APRA (like Courts) can choose to fine directors personally, but...

There really isn’t! This is one of the more silly hills I’ve seen people want to die on. Should @Brissy1 have said ‘issue an infringement notice to’ rather than ‘impose a fine on’? Sure, but we got the idea. At the end of the day, both result in a person being penalised financially which is the...

When you buy a QF codeshare on Emirates, Qantas is basically selling a seat on EK in the capacity of an agent. Yes, they dress it up with a few more loyalty frills and perks (seat selection! status credits! more points!), but at its core, when you buy a QF8xx_ flight, Qantas is acting as a...

Semantics much? In the legal lingo, one is a court-imposed pecuniary penalty while one is a pecuniary penalty paid as a consequence of receiving an infringement notice. But both examples are 'fines' though in the popular lingo.

Agree - Qantas make you scroll past a lot of other options before their EK codeshares show up. Not surprising as I imagine there'd be not much margin basically being a travel agent for Emirates...

There's been a lot of manufactured uncertainty created on here and OzBargain, but all the official communications to date state that the fee waiver is staying, so (for now at least) this is not changing. (Oh I forgot to mention that if you're paying for the Premier card, there's no real reason...

Infringement notices are fines by another name (basically, 'cough up or we prosecute'). As the trustees don't seem to have any skin in the game under the current arrangements, because it comes out of members' pockets, they presumably paid. If super funds are being treated like regular...

A lot of corrections for my November transactions show up in December (as this is when they were done).

As I said in another thread, if you're not being knocked back from other cards you're seeking to churn, there's no reason to give it up. (And it was separate to mainline NAB when it was a Citi card so you should be able to get the bonus points. I don't think this has changed.)

Was looking through my points history today and noticed NAB seems to have fixed the online points crediting glitch.

(Ah, a post that's not about an annual fee that's not being charged. How refreshing!) To my mind, if you're not routinely being rejected for 'Black' level cards at the moment, there's no reason to ditch it. There are a few countervailing considerations compared to the limit itself: The long...

Well, another week, another several thousand keystrokes devoted to lengthy posts about something that hasn't actually happened... It's all becoming a bit tiresome really, so I'm out of this thread unless there is actual official word that NAB is seeking to scrap fee waivers, thereby changing...

Yup, but it needs to be earned status - Support Portal | GHA DISCOVERY Loyalty - GHA Loyalty Program

Given that you only need three brands for titanium (or two for platinum), I'd price out mattress runs. My trip to Oaks in South Yarra will be $180 and the Parkroyal at MEL was $280 (including breakfast).

They tried to sell me a titanium renewal - spend $US1000 and get D$ 1000 and titanium status. Thanks, but no (I've got mattress runs at two other brands planned as I'll probably head to Spain next year).

Note also there's 10% cashback through Top Cashback. (Have just ordered the Langtons Premium Chardonnay pack for ~$600 and four bottles of Maison Hugues Pavelot Chorey-Les-Beaunes Les Beaumonts 2021 for ~$36 per bottle, and will get a further $75 cashback through TCB. Quite happy with that. :) )

I got the email and have 20% showing at Langton's. Make sure you're logged in.

In this respect, FTTC was pretty good for me (not so much for my dad whose connection died a couple of times). But my downtime for FTTP has been limited to routine maintenance.
