    Transit in Brisbane airport - can I stay at a hotel?

    Another question on the BNE transit side of things. How does it work if you have a domestic to international transfer. A friend has got approval to leave the country and is looking at MEL-BNE-YVR flights. in BNE, the website says that if you are transiting, you are not allowed to leave the...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Yup, seeing the same behaviour on my end as well. :( Looks like I've now got to find a different location to spend the existing stockpile of cards.

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    At the moment I am manually clicking on each link in the spreadsheet and grabbing the details to put into another spreadsheet that I print out and take with me. I have to enter the card details myself on the Point of Sale system - not the store manager. I used to use the Money app, but I've...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    I'll give you the first statement that I was not technically correct. You can still purchase cards at the self serve, but you do need to get approval from the staff. I've had a number of staff in a number of different stores across Woolies not give the approval and suggest I go to the service...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    With the new POS software at Woolies, there is now no limit to the number of cards in one transaction at the counter. Self serve doesn't even allow a single card now... but at the counter, we put through 30 at a time with no issues. The new POS also spits out the approval notices a lot faster...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    New version of the iMacro script. Since the recent update to iMacros, a few things changed. Chrome now only supports VAR1, VAR2, and VAR3. Also, the freeware version no longer supports user defined variables. Thankfully, we only three variables for our purpose - so our script is back working...

    RTW Trip - Sep/Oct '18 - Advise on Accommodation - SGN, FCO, BUD, CDG, JFK, IAD, RDU, LAX

    Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. At the moment, it looks like AirBnB in Vietnam near Ben Thanh market and an airBnb in NY near Jamaica station are looking like good options for us. The suggestions on locations to book has been invaluable.

    RTW Trip - Sep/Oct '18 - Advise on Accommodation - SGN, FCO, BUD, CDG, JFK, IAD, RDU, LAX

    Hi All, The whole family is going on a RTW trip in Sep/Oct 2018. The flights are mostly booked through OneWorld Classic Award and I'm now starting to look at accommodation options. With two adults and two kids (7 & 10), I have about 10,000 Accor Leclub points which equates to 200 Euro...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    I can confirm the macro is not working. I can replicate the issue with the same error. I don't have much time this week to look into this, but will try. In the meantime, if anyone else finds the issue and fixes it; please post it here.

    I haven't used it recently - but I can have a quick look at it. Can you send me the exact script that you are trying to run by PM. From memory, VAR4 is the fourth set of numbers on the gift card.

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Can I pay Personal tax through Optus Easy Pay or is that allowed only through the myGov payment facility? I've got a fairly large Personal tax bill due next week and have a lot of visa1 that I have stocked up.

    One World Award in Sep/Oct 2018 in Business (4 pax)

    I used the Award Flight Assist service and it was brilliant. They provided me with three options based on my criteria - I picked one - called Qantas and the whole booking was done in less than 10 minutes. The itinerary I ended up going with was as follows: 6/09: MEL - HKG - SGN, surface...

    One World Award in Sep/Oct 2018 in Business (4 pax)

    Do you mean the Frequent Flyer Solutions Centre? I had a look; but was not sure how the Award Flight Assist actually worked. Have not seen much talk about it anywhere. The other option was to just ring Qantas and see what we come up with. The last time I did this, it took hours and hours on...

    One World Award in Sep/Oct 2018 in Business (4 pax)

    Hi, I would like some help in finding a feasible itinerary for a One World Award in Business. The dates of travel are between 15 September 2018 and 14 October 2018. The travel is for 2 adults and 2 children (10 & 7). The places we must have in the itinerary are Rome and Paris. Places we...

    What's your Uber experience?

    Stopping one block away is a common scam. They are trying to get you to cancel the booking as you would then be charged a cancellation fee. Malaysia is the only place where I got hit by that scam... should report them and rate them a 0. Just be careful about the cancellation fee and make sure...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    When I scan at the self serve, I use my hands to cover the small barcode - so only the long bar code is visible. Could that be a factor in all these reports of them not activating?

    At the counter, they can scan 10 at a time. The 4 limit is at the self-checkout.

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    No probs. Here it is. I use the iMacros for Chrome plugin to run this. Replace the xx_XX with your PRN and email address. Verify the CONTENT values are what you want them to be. The wait times were added to ensure each page had enough time to load before the macro pressed the next button...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    With the macro I wrote, it takes me about 25-30 seconds per card. I only need to enter 3 sets of numbers for each card, the 3rd and 4th set of 4 numbers and the 3 digit code. All other numbers are the same across all payments, so that is saved within the macro. The macro also sends me the...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    Checked today - no new stock. Talked to the manager there and he said that was expecting a new order to arrive last week, but it hasn't arrived yet. The company behind it is notorious for slow deliveries and is unable to keep up with the demand. He said he'll let me know when they arrive (but...
