    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    Typical DWP bureaucracy. You pay what they advised you to pay and then they chase you for more to fix their error. And it is only 6 quid.! The cost of processing will be a lot more than that.

    Booking Sri Lankan Airlines?

    That is the question I asked them but their response suggested they did not understand the question. I tried explaining multiple times but to no avail.

    Booking Sri Lankan Airlines?

    I need to make a SYD - CMB return booking on the Sri Lankan website. Does anyone know where the payment is processed as I am keen to incur an FX fee in case my AUD payment is not processed in Australia. I rang the office in Melbourne but they insist that is a question for my bank.

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    A bit like the way Agoda and others always only seem to have 1 room left at this price when you are looking to book a hotel.

    Aha! I was WP for several years up to 2008 when I changed jobs and work-funded travel came to a thundering halt. My days of being WP are well and truly over. I have occasionally been SG since and will again in February when I will trigger SG / LTG / LOWS on the same flight. I have been a BFOD...

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    I have as much chance of being the first Australian on Mars or winning the Nobel Peace Prize as I do of achieving Lifetime Platinum so going forward status credits are pretty worthless. I cannot achieve PC organically. The only reason I got there at all was because of the very generous Citi...

    Citi cards become myCard - no more CX, KF, EY, QR from 16/11/25

    Mrs SS Received first statement on 09/12 on the new system but no sign of any Qantas points in her QF account yet. She has MyCard Premier Qantas account. Is it really taking this long or time to escalate?

    How long do BA, Finnair and Other oneworld flights take to credit to Qantas?

    No it doesn't refute - it is just another data point. Just because you had a good experience of a codeshare flight being credited in good time it doesn't invalidate the experiences of those for whom they did not. I am still waiting on a codeshare flight from 34 days ago to post.
