    Australian Cricket Season 2025-26 (Ashes)

    I'm way too cyncial to fall for the CA marketing of this match. Thus I haven't received any email so what points are you referring to?

    Gifts for cabin crew

    Nah. I seen them nonnas there at Mediterranean Wholesalers in Brunswick heaping sugars into their caffes till the spoon can stand up. They wouldn't be drinking there if the coffee was bad. [We waayyyy OT now]

    Gifts for cabin crew

    Feel this debate would warrant its own thread. Like the Lurpak butter one. Even though it's clear that Lindt is far superior.

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    Only one cycle for me. I skipped the last $90/week offer and this week I'm back to $50.

    How does Hertz treat you

    I've given them a run on occasions and had no issues other than their shorter opening hours and no after hours key drop off. It's also not as convenient as Mitchell for me as most of my trips are out to the west. I'm supposed to use our corporate travel agency, but they don't take Hertz...

    How does Hertz treat you

    Hertz really starting to piss me off. They regularly send an invoice with zero amounts. It is a PITA to have to chase up. They also now appear to charge a $500 deposit upon pickup because I've prepaid. WTF for? In case I keep the car for longer than agreed? They have my credit card, so...

    Europe car hire.

    According to my recent experience, it might be yours. Was given a VW T-Roc. Driving down a hill towards Merimbula, the engine just cut out/stopped and a bunch of system warnings came on together with a large red emergency type symbol that covered the main part of the drivers display. I lost...

    Anyone know if the Adventure cards can be used online (direct or swapped for a e-GC)?

    Australian Dual Citizens Entering UK after February

    OK. Much/long anticipated trip of a lifetime then. Just making the observation that every article on this matter appears to involve the same "victim". If I was trying to be offensive, I'd have questioned why the journos don't ask why there are so many sick people in Britain.

    Australian Dual Citizens Entering UK after February

    Thankfully it's paywalled. Seems like the dream of every Brit living here is to go home to visit someone about to cark it.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    I am in the boat that thought they'd drop this year. However, I'll unexpectedly just retain WP this year thanks mostly to the current bonus SC promo that just happened to coincide with some travel in March. Ditto with the June 2025 DSC promo. In between those promos I booked a reward flight...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    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...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    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.

    Bonus Velocity Status Credits for VA flights - Book & fly between 12 January and 31 March 2026

    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.

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    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?
