    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    I thought that there was a min of 3 years but can't find it now, maybe it's in the application for a pension. Min to be able to top-up I think is >2years, not 3 complete years.

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    I gather that you might be able catch-up to have >10 NI years and still not be eligible for a uk pension when reaching 66+ if you don't meet other requirements, like I think there's minimum number of years having resided in uk?

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    Replaced my panels in Brisbane last year, and now looks like my inverter (SMA 2500) has carked it. I'm on the grandfathered 44c fit (until 1/7/28) which is very worthwhile keeping (so can't upsize) as I'm not home there much.

    Got scammed mycard(citi)

    I feel very sad for you, but I think you did quite well to get back ½. NAB could have been more helpful, but I think some other banks would have offered nothing. I don't understand the original fraud process... I charged >$10k onto my citi/mtcard last week, an over the phone purchase, and...

    Upper age limits on travel insurance - family member illness/death

    So this coverage doesn't exclude events resulting from "pre-existing" medical conditions? Very limited if so.

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    When Bowen's proposed "free"(no such thing, it's cost shifting) electricity between 12:00-15:00 comes in, the benefit of panels will only be before 12 and after 3, but same capital cost. Interesting to see if it affects new household solar uptake. Maybe just buy batteries and charge them 12 to 3...

    50000 Bonus Aeroplan points with new HSBC Star Alliance Card

    - I didn't know that history, I only started searching last week - had to call aeroplan (to make the booking) because in the online booking process, after listing names and going to "next" (for seat selection) it would error out. There's still issues between Aeroplan /AC and Turkish . I have...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    A potential mistake I avoided but I'd like to share. Activation of free overseas cr card insurance is sometimes simply spending $xx_ on overseas travel et c., so I activate multiple cards. One of those (NAB or St George or both can't remember) it states in their benefits list "if you spend...

    50000 Bonus Aeroplan points with new HSBC Star Alliance Card

    They're supposedly bookable on the app/web, selecting "points" when searching. Can't book a payment flight, just rewards flight (like booking a VA flight using AC points)

    50000 Bonus Aeroplan points with new HSBC Star Alliance Card

    Was disappointing as the connection recognised my ph number as being a 50k status. Phoned at about 14:00 au EST. But delighted she got me the 3 x J out of IST on Turkish Airlines, thought they might have been ghost rewards seats.

    50000 Bonus Aeroplan points with new HSBC Star Alliance Card

    Hours! However, they did manage to book J reward seats which, through the app, were error-ing out. (Hint-note the error code, they need that to waive the call centre booking surcharge)
