So, if you continued to do what you have done previously - ie spend $10k+/year with VA - wouldn't you still get WP or above, despite the changes? Or to rephrase it slightly, exactly how will the changes affect you if you keep doing what you've been doing? Those letting their status go are...

Nicely put there @simmomelb. I'd also add that the VA offer is an annual one, as is QF's, further emphasising the ridiculousness of claims by some antagonists here of panicking by VA.

Back in the day, a mate of mine and his mining buddies used to go to MEL to pre-load in the QF lounge before heading into the city. A couple of shared cab fares easily recouped by the free grog/food. It's all stopped now of course, probably because of this sort of thing, but given the price of...

That wine glass ain't right. Unsettling.

Agreed but the difference was like $30. I'm quite lazy (married Mrs Happy Dude because she was already pregnant) and will be moving on from Origin soon. Energy is the new credit card churn.

Nice pics @Scarlett. I haven't played NSW recently. Is there some renos happening, about to happen or recently finished?

I did ask/tell them to start billing from the day they commenced supply but they said nope. I'd have thought ActewAGL would have been more upset about it too. Hopefully @Tiki ca avoid the same situation. Even though I didn't even contact Origin until early September, I received a bill from...

Out of curiosity, was there any difference between the Amex Expl cover ($5k) and the LDW excess? The LDW excess is creeping up for some companies. Europcar is $5,950 now. Can't seem to readily find Hertz's.

When I switched to back to Origin from ActewAGL recently, Origin backdated the change to the last bill which was almost three months ago. The Origin rates were higher than ActewAGL and the difference took a lil bite out of my efforts. No idea why it's done that way. I just thought they'd cut...

So you've a negative balance now @Duffa?

Same boat. Tonnes of great wine that requires judicious consideration for optimal drinking. But don't hate yo'self. You're human. Blame this damn enabling thread.

And that's fine, as long as they don't receive anything less than a 'normal' drink. If the server rewards tips with doubles or whatever, and charges the normal price, then that's an issue for management to reconcile.

If the earth was flat, you'd think that at least one AFFer would have been to the edge or edges and would be posting about it here: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/where-did-you-visit-for-its-geographical-significance.122412/ In fact, you'd think that it would be a...

When is critical. Certain organisations would be very interested if it was on 22 Nov 1962, especially if you're a smoker.

The grassy knoll.

haha yes that's a little silver lining. I was thinking of the poor buggers at the post office though - my local might stop accepting payments with these "gift cards" like some others do.

I tried to rationalise these cards to pay a VIC land tax bill late last year (post must be a few pages back). It's a very borderline proposition imo, not least of all due to the time and effort required to acquire and then pay with nearly 50 cards. Hopefully the Coles version (no points but...

Some driver shenanigans at CBR recently where a couple of Didi drivers cancelled me and then picked up other pax. I get the kids to spot the number plate. Obviously I don't know on which platform they accepted rides but Uber was 2.5x the price of Didi ($92 v $38). So I'm guessing that almost...

Gee I hope there's a PAK v ZIM game - it's going to be a ripper.

I often wonder how the guy in front of me at lost luggage in ZQN got on after they lost his luggage with his (very expensive Sage) fly gear, which meant his short weekend trip was completely ruined. As a silver lining, I'd imagine he'd be glad to re-purchase the gear assuming it was possible...
