Better than one per flight. I even got one when I was waitlisted for an award that never cleared!

How so? The only Frewie eSIMs I've used have been the free ones from SQ. You install them by using a QR code. Then, whenever you want it, you enable the eSIM and enable data roaming and it instantly works. (3 days later, it stops working.) Totally hassle-free. Have you used paid ones? Are they...

No, he said "setup". It was his interpretation, not mine. The eSIM can be installed (i.e. downloaded) without any form of setup whatsoever and, as such, it doesn't matter how it's downloaded. (I guess the apps are confusing people. I've never used an app to install an eSIM.)

You said to install over wifi. I said nope to that and stated pretty clearly why. You used setup (which would activate it) as the justification. Now you are saying activation is another step, which is what I said.

2. Nope. Installing an eSIM is nothing to do with enabling it. If, say, you install an eSIM from Frewie through Singapore Airlines (which I happen to be using right now), you want to wait until you need it before activating it, as it starts its timer at that point. It's fine to have no...

They seem to just go nowhere. (At least, I don't know of anything I can see if the $10 is sitting in Woolworths. It doesn't seem to display anywhere.) I've never changed options. I thought messing with it might make it worse, like making it think I really do want the discount.

I've always been set up to auto-convert to QFF, but in the past year, it doesn't always work. It used to be that I'd get "Here's $10 Everyday Rewards Dollars" on my activity with "$10 Everyday Rewards Dollars converted" posted the same day. Now, it sometimes just doesn't happen. Once last year...

Why would you care about 5G? (I always have SIMs set to use 4G to save power. Only time I care about speed is when I'm in a hotel and using WiFi anyhow.)

My only international (roaming) eSIM experiences have been freebies. First was Klook. Second was Singapore Airlines. Make a booking, even a waitlisted one, and they give you a free eSIM. Great for the 3 days of travel getting to my final destination, where I can then use a local eSIM much more...

Anyone else experiencing bonus points not posting? My week 1 Coles order was normal (receipt listed that I'd completed week 1) but I never received a reminder offer for week 2 and my week 2 receipt didn't show that week 2 existed and no bonus points have been credited.

600 pts for $80 over the next week at Woolworths. (Meanwhile, over on the Flybuys thread, people call 2000 pts for 2x$50 "very pathetic". If almost 3 times the value is very pathetic, I'm not sure we have the words to describe Woolies offers.)

Yep, got the 2k for $50 or 3k for $90 for 2 weeks. They miss me, because I used Doordash for Aldi recently (40% off promo if you've not used their grocery delivery before, which is effectively about 20% off in-store prices) and Woolies before that.

You've added Alaska Atmos. Why not add American AAdvantage? That's much bigger and generally better value than Atmos. Also it can combine multiple OW carriers in a booking, while Atmos is still a mess in that regard.

It is possible to fly to/through more expensive places than Australia, but it's hard. Simple example: Last time I went through MUC, I bought 1L Bombay Sapphire at 18 EUR (~$31.90). Current MEL duty free price is $58.99.

You have this backwards! When the banks controlled it, there were no surcharges. It's the Reserve Bank that forced banks to allow surcharging. All the blame for this is on every Treasurer for the last 20+ years.

I bet the real reason is that our duty free shops have bribed our politicians so that they can make unreasonable profits. If these pointless searches weren't being done, we'd all buy duty free overseas at much lower prices.

My selection criteria is basically: Which airlines do I actively look forward to flying, especially in business class. This is mostly a combination of comfort, service and good food (esp. whether garlic bread is hot and crispy). It also includes good lounges. (e.g. SQ and UA having sleeping...

Perth duty free is pretty good value if you book in advance online. 10% discount, a free bag, and no credit card surcharges. However, their method of processing an incoming pickup is a confusing mess. I made my online order and received a brief confirmation immediately and a more detailed...

I don't like that idea at all. Cabin air is already very dry, so blowing it on you will make you dry out even more. The only pleasant solution overall is to get them to cool the cabin properly. (ANA too. The Japanese airlines seem to compete to see how sweaty and uncomfortable they can make us.)

My whole point is there is no such thing as "better value in AC or AA" in every case. Best value differs on different routes and even day by day on a route. Sometimes SQ is the best value or simply has availability when nobody else has. But SQ's expiry makes it impossible to choose purely on the...
