Thanks so much for your detailed response @Dr Ralph - I will be in Houston for a few days in December so very helpful.

Also have this offer - received it two weeks ago and currently in week 3. An easy 6,000 points for us.

Woodfrog is pretty good. We also get baguettes from Ned's Bakery (there are a few locations but we go to the one in South Yarra).

My husband and I did a self drive tour 10 years ago in Namibia. A few touts trying to sell you things you don't really want but never felt unsafe. You definitely need a 4wd because a lot of the roads outside main towns are not paved and it just makes the trip more comfortable in a 4wd.

Just completed Project Opalfruit - on toothpaste for 150 points

I feel you! First thing MasterC always says once we get to the airport is where's the lounge! Admittedly, the Gentleman is usually pretty keen on knowing too 😄

Anyone has any success with interlining from QF to BA on separate PNRs? I had to book the tickets separately to make sure I got the BA seats the day they were released. I can always try and call up and get the PNRs connected but the question raised by the OP was a timely one for me to jump in on...

150 points for Project Joost - a survey about solar panels, batteries and electricity plans.

There seems to be some issue on the portal currently with this route. I have been looking recently for an award trip next year and whenever I choose JNB as either a departure point or destination, the website errors.

I flew significantly more than my son in the last year - he got the 30sc offer and I got the 75sc offer

I haven't used any of the vouchers yet (as haven't needed to book Jetstar) but seems to when I do a mock booking at the payment section. When I was corresponding with Jetstar, they were very emphatic with me that once the vouchers were issued, they couldn't be cancelled.

Mine took 2 days where it was automated in the system and maybe 3 to 4 when I needed to claim manually.

We went to Bali in July and came back via Singapore - DPS-SIN on JQ (3K242) and then picked up QF36 to MEL on an A330. Enough time to stop in the SIN QF F Lounge for dinner before the flight to MEL.

Sorry, I was probably a bit short form in my response. When I made my requests, I was very specific in flight numbers, ports and dates. e.g. I requested QF94 LAX-MEL on Wednesday 10, Thursday 11 January, QF12 LAX-SYD, Wednesday 10, Thursday 11 January etc. Another thing I did was check...

I second @RichardMEL 's recommendation regarding putting in multiple requests at the same time. It certainly helps to be flexible with dates where possible and is more efficient for everyone. Earlier this year I was asking for a release of 3* J seats from USA to AU in mid January 2024 - I was...

I'm not sure what quantities you are looking for but I used United Currency Exchange to buy USD late last year - they have two outlets in QV complex in the city. The rates were pretty good IIRC. Usually a bit of a queue - plenty of overseas students using it.

When looking on the desktop website, down the the bottom of your 'my account' page, there should be a heading of 'redeem points' with sub-headings including hotels and flights. The flights page is where you can transfer marriott points to airlines.

Similar to others, I was having issues getting my year 2 green tier reward - I had completed the 5 leaves but for some reason, the rewards choice wasn't being displayed. There must have been enough follow ups with Olivia Wirth that some action has happened behind the scenes on this issue because...

I had the CinnamonRoll survey yesterday that pertained to pet food, more specifically the Advance brand (until it rejected me due to unsuitability).

I did an AMEX to Marriott points transfer this evening and both regular and bonus points showing in my account straight away (my Bonvoy account was already linked).
