    Coles gift card offers

    It may not be virtually everyone, but given the title of the thread and the very first post, it is supposed to be about offers.

    MEL taxi scam

    Taxi drivers continue to be their own worst enemies. As a collective, they will never recover.

    MEL taxi scam

    Yep, last night a few too many taxis entered and there was a traffic jam. That and quite a wait for my Uber and I was wishing I just grabbed a Skybs and caught a Didi for the rest of the trip from the city. What puts me off that plan the most is Spencer St is not a nice place to be late at night...

    QANTAS security breach-2 separate flights were cancelled without Authorisation by my ex-husband through his QFF Account on-line.

    I am very sorry for your situation, it must be an awful thing to be going through. However it is not a security breach. A breach implies someone has hacked your account or their systems, which is not the case. Him having your surname and booking reference is the same as you sharing your...

    Passport Renewal / Application - Time Taken?

    Thanks. Reading it again, I think maybe the explanation requirement (and possible proof of urgency) if you call up to expediate an existing application. Already done and no questions asked. I paid $104 for a 5 day turnaround. The lady at the post office said they have been quick lately but I am...

    Passport Renewal / Application - Time Taken?

    Any tips on the urgent application? My passport is less than 6 months from expiry and I am travelling in 2 weeks for an unplanned holiday, so not a legit reason for urgent travel. Can you just pay up? The website suggests you have to have a compelling reason for urgent travel.

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    They do. They want you to spend more. I find the offers generally creep up for spend until I ignore them.

    Charged a cash advance fee for a gift card purchase

    Maybe, but the impression I get is it seems to be specifically related to CBA. I never had this issue with PayPal and Amex. Of course I won't be trying CBA direct to confirm.

    Charged a cash advance fee for a gift card purchase

    I certainly couldn't find gift cards mentioned in the T&C, just general statements about cash advances "such as..." but no mention of gift cards. I objected with on line chat and they refunded. I also explained that it is not a cash advance as it cannot be converted to cash. They refuned me...

    Lumo Energy Referral Offer - $25 eGift Card Each

    Don't use my referral code from 3 messages ago, I have changed companies. (I found out the hard way they don't validate the code on sign-up so you will miss out if you use an old code.)

    Charged a cash advance fee for a gift card purchase

    Was this with CBA? I have had the interest refunded but still waiting on the fee.

    Charged a cash advance fee for a gift card purchase

    It is not a mistake in their opinion. From the chat: On this particular card, this fee is charged when you withdraw or transfer cash from your credit card. It’s also charged for cash equivalent transactions such as gambling, money transfers, buying lottery tickets or gift cards I checked the...

    Charged a cash advance fee for a gift card purchase

    They refunded the fee and interest, as a once off gesture of goodwill of course. I'd always used Amex via PayPal previously, so back to that way I suppose. I don't see why using PayPal would change things as presumably WOWGIFTCARD would still come up on the statement either way.

    Charged a cash advance fee for a gift card purchase

    There is an old now closed thread cash advance fee gift card which concluded that the source (Finder) didn't know what it was talking about. Well it has happened to me with Commbank. The transaction shows as "PAYPAL * WOWGIFTCARD" and they confirmed that is why I was charged a $4 fee, plus...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    I did that a few years ago at MEL going to ADL on a Saturday for one night. I realised a few hours later, called up and the Supervisor met me after my return flight. Very impressed.
