    PGR Program Changes

    As I'm sure most of you know, points expire after 18 months without activity and my last 20 points are due to expire on 1/6. In the past I would have made sure I stayed at one of their properties to keep my points alive but I have decided to let these last 20 expire as I still can't see any...

    La Mer, le Canal & les Pyrénées

    So back at post #279 (above) I wrote about le Petit Train and promised to provide some photos (which I've now found):

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    I agree and this has been going on for at least 50 years; I can remember having similar discussions when I first started work. While there are some businesses that look after their existing customers, it appears there are far more willing to spend millions trying to win back customers they lost...

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    This is not financial advice. IMHO, the time to move to cash was some weeks/months ago. Your crystal ball did not notify you then (nor did mine). What makes you think that it will notify you when is the right time to move back to growth? Markets go up and down; sit back and relax and enjoy...

    A giggle in a way

    +1 & I both have pre-existing conditions. On our trip to Europe last year, some TI companies (especially those that come with CCs) refused to cover our pre-existing conditions, some would cover them with a rediculous extra premium, and some were quite reasonable. As it turned out, the amount...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    I should add to the above posts that my two local Woolies have stopped displaying the banners (or whatever they are called) at the gift card stand. So the only way to know what offers there are is to read the catalogue or check here on this thread. Have other members noticed this at their...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    Good point you make about the $50 TCN Gift cards. While the offer hasn't changed, some of the T&Cs have been left out of the catalogue (that is the limit of 10 cards unless otherwise excluded). In any case, the way it's worded can be misinterpreted (as it was by @DejaBrew ). I was merely...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    You could certainly read it that way but the T&Cs in the catalogue are somewhat different (no mention of "a limit of 10 cards per day per reward member"). Anyhow, I scanned 5 "GIFT" cards at the self-check out and it only came up as 4,000 points (not 10,000). I queried it with the 18YO...

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    A question for those who have paid the carbon offset on a pre-existing booking. Assuming the leaf eventually appears, is the effective date the day the offset was paid for or the day it actually posts to your account?

    Article: I Have Zero Qantas Points and It Feels Liberating

    I'ld like to get my QFF points close to zero but the lack of CR availability is preventing this. Last year I needed to find seats from EUR to AUS in December with about six months notice. I searched every QF partner for seats from every airport and wasn't able to find a single option into Aus...
