It appears by bank transfer, for an amount well in excess of what the paxs' app said, after the drivers claim that the app/PIN isn't working. It's more a variation on the touts in the terminal to touts now in the pickup area and pretending to be rideshare drivers and convincing pax to cancel...

Possibly. Although, they normally leave the offer there and hopefuls would land on the "Offer fully subscribed" page.

No longer appears on my Explorer or wife's Velocity Plat card. I say "no longer", because I would have sworn it was there, unsaved, on at least one of those cards. "Ozbargained"/"AFFed"??

I didn't get the second more generous offer either but I don't have a Plat Charge.

As usual Happy Dude shows up as the band is packing up. Enjoyed reading your excellent adventures @Dantas. Would you recommend hiring a porter/guide "in-country" in Katmandu or better to do so at one of the towns closer to where the treks commence? I'd like to do a month there, so perhaps...

Sit tight. Someone here will call up and ask if there'll be an exclusion period in the future.

I can't even remember the name of the restaurant, or even the bill amount, but the one at which I proposed to Mrs Happy Dude turned out to be very expensive. Been paying for it ever since and am still paying for it. 🤣

Wow. Thanks for posting your experience. Any idea how they got hold of your phone and credit card info?

Yes and more broadly those who can spend and those than cannot, as evidenced by sky-high, demand driven airfares in this case. Such spending is driving up inflation again.

You could try bribing/obligating them to jolt them into action? https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/gifts-for-cabin-crew.104681/

Independent Liquor Spend is back again but the list appears to be ‘thinner’ than last year (?) and the time frame is short to exclude Christmas/NY. I’ve not ever been to a store that has GCs but carefully targetting specials may result in some good deals.

A recent CBR-MEL-PER vv on flexi for work yielded just 96 SCs. Old system would have been nearer 150 (I’m guessing). I just don’t fly often enough to maintain WP in the new system. I tend to travel with family so the BIS rule clips the usefulness of family pooling. I’m not prepared to take...

I don't recall a fee for FC or any other retailer card before. Seems counter-productive.

No one has been treated any differently yet, at least in regard to an annual fee, so I don't understand how you can say, think or feel that "cardholders have been treated very shabbily". You're jumping at shadows. If you want to argue any changes to the card, go and do so about their removal...

And what payment "rectifies your situation"? If they are not going to waive any annual fee on the MyCard in the future, then your situation has not been rectified. They've short-changed you and you've either settled for less or grabbed something on the way out. For the life of me I can't...

But I need to know if I'm going to be charged for a card that's free that I don't use because I have other better free options!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hard to pick a factor that would make one hotel "the best". But Rydges have the best beds in the biz, IMO, so I enjoy staying in any of their hotels.

It's one of many highly visible and strong signs that Australians are spending more and more, in spite of an apparent cost-of-living crisis.

No it means there are airlines all too happy to exploit the foolish, ignorant or desperate.

I got a QF email asking me if I was still looking for fares to ADL. These emails are common and expected from several sources including airlines, hotels and hire cars. The problem is that I haven't been looking for anything ADL related except the scorecard from last years pink ball test v IND...
