And the biggest challenge for house owners is trying to predict how these and any future unannounced changes to the playing field and rules of the game will modify the financial pay-back analysis we undertake before committing a significant investment into what is often a 5-10 or even 10-15 year...

And getting there sooner also means getting it locked-in (as much as can be achieved) before the next enhancement round moves the goal posts.

Any way to Earn Marriott Bonvoy points? These can be laundered into AAdvantage miles. Laundering rate is not great, but may be better than purchasing AAdvantage miles. In Australia, some Amex credit cards provide 3x Amex Membership Rewards points per A$ spend at supermarkets. So buying...

My Platinum upgrade has been successfully delivered :)

And re-issuing the ticket REQUIRES that the fare be recalculated, including base fare, taxes and airline/carrier charges. The original fare for the original ticket will have been calculated in NZ$, and the recalculated fare will be in AU$. The re-issue is likely stuck in a queue somewhere due to...

Oh, that is no good for me. I have a serious phobia - I am afraid of escalators. But its ok .... I am taking steps to avoid them.

I'll nominate for Gold right now, but likely to upgrade to Plat. Mrs NM returns from her gallivanting the following day, so I am otherwise "Home alone" so should be able to make the journey into Brisbane CBD (a whole 50c each way) to attend.

Does your email address somewhat match your name? Could it be that someone in Japan actually has the same (or similar) name and just entered the slightly wrong email address into the FF account booking? I have had a gmail email address since they first started them, and it is a simple and...

I believe bookings made prior to end of 2025 will be honoured. New bookings after that will need to be using the new IHG OnePass program, which is apparently similar in discounted rates, but limited to maximum of 30 nights per hear for the employee and any family and friends using their IHG...

The main difference I have experienced since moving from 100/40Mbps to 500/50Mbps is improved responsiveness when using on-line cloud storage such as OneDrive and Sharepoint when opening and downloading cloud-hosted files. Of course not much change for uploading going form 40->50Mbps upload...

For this reason I keep an IPSec VPN server running on my home NBN router so I can VPN into my home router and then bounce out appearing as the same AU IP address as my regular home network appears. The benefits of running a "real" router for my NBN connection rather than a "toy" packet...

Did you try the free machine coffee? I was pleasantly surprised by it. It was probably the best automatic machine coffee I have found, and went back for a second on both days of my stay. I normally greatly dislike automatic machine coffee, but they seemed to get it right. I did only try the...
