As the title suggests, I have one of these to give away from a recent booking I have made. Only requirements I have beyond being first in to ask for it is to have been a member for at least a week with at least 5 posts to you name. Provided you meet that requirement I'll PM you with the code...

So, about the same time as the double SC or double points promotion for QFF launched, so did a promotion for QBR. It offers between 1000 and 3000 bonus points depending on your businesses level in QBR. Trouble is, the T&C seem to interchangeably use the words booking and flight, which could lead...

I thought I would put up this post now as I have been organising a little excursion to Adelaide for next week and as the week draws closer I now see I have a few spaces available if any AFF-er would like to join me. On Wednesday 16th March I have booked an 8-seater coach/van with a driver to...

So, Finder (allows you to check your credit score among other things) is getting into Bitcoin. Over the next couple weeks they’re giving away up to AUD$200,000 worth of Bitcoin. I’m honestly not too fussed on it, but after providing your drivers license to verify your identity, you can...

Meant to post this last week, but life got in the way. I received an email on Thursday reminding me of bonus points if I took out a Qantas Business Rewards Credit Card. I just use a personal card, so I get these offers a lot. The email suggests 3 cards at varying earn rates, that will come with...

I did a quick scan but didn't see a similar thread topic. American Express sent me an offer two days ago to apply for a "Flexible Payment Option", where I have the choice of paying my Card in full every month or extending the payment over time. I'm talking specifically about the Platinum Charge...

Received a survey the other day that I completed today, from AMEX. The main focus was to see if I could tell the difference of a new card design that they presented to me (didn't take a screenshot – but was largely the same), and the part they later zeroed in on was the removal of the signature...

Just got an email from American Express mentioning that Afterpay is now accepting AMEX for payment. Unfortunately, it would appear this is old news from a week or two ago. https://www.pointhacks.com.au/american-express/afterpay-accepts-amex/ However, I think the icing on the cake is that from...

I took a flight yesterday (QF1571), and will take a couple more today (so stay tuned). Discounting the 210 minute delay, it went pretty well. I'd booked revenue (from a voucher) business to Canberra and had booked a service after 0900 as I'd read alcohol was available after this time. I enjoy a...

This morning I started a journey into the outback unlike I have ever done before. Previously I have always flown everywhere I go (unsurprisingly) but on this trip I wanted to take in some of the sights in between the QantasLink route network. Joining me on this 4-night journey is @Mattg, so I...

It seems everyone is building a home these days, there's perhaps nothing else to spend money on, so @frankie and I have decided to do the same. We almost bought an existing house, but the building and pest didn't pan out for us so we opted to withdraw the offer. After more searching and touring...

Not A380 related, but I had heard the three 787's due this year had been put on hold, as had the 18 JQ A320 deliveries.

I was reading this article today and decided that I should probably try book myself a flight out to Dili with my Qantas points for next year, taking a punt on air travel being back to some level of normal by then. The worst that could happen is losing the roughly 16,000 points and some taxes, or...

I wanted to share a recent Jetstar experience (ongoing) that I have had. The outcome – at this stage – is good but it took a chat to Jetstar to get there and I can see why so many people get so upset with them. As a frequent flyer, I should know better, but just think of all those people who...

My renewal has come up (due in 2 months time) and I have been given the following options: What would you pick? I'm leaning towards the 40k points (I have about that many in my account) as I rarely book reward nights anyway and it'll save for USD$200. If I spent the money, used the bonus...

I have a voucher to give away. Must have been registered before today with (at least) 5 posts to your name. Expires at 01-Nov-19 13:41 AEST. First to reply will get a PM.

This report is going to be short, it details my first Virgin Australia flight in nearly 5 years and the experience from a Qantas-flyer perspective. With my re-qualification of Qantas Platinum already sorted, and my next booked flights taking me over the line to Qantas Lifetime Gold, I felt I...

In light of the recent thread on the upcoming IPO of Latitude Financial, I thought that a thread on stock tips might be appropriate. I am sure many members here play the market. I remember reading about the members who got Qantas for under a dollar, the threads about using IG Share Trading to...

Saw this as an advert on AFF! Book a two-night stay at selected voco and Crowne Plaza hotels and earn a free night on us. A free night away is one of life’s great pleasures which is why we’re offering our IHG Rewards Club members a free night on us! When you stay a minimum of two...

It's my birthday this month and Qantas has provided me with a Qantas Wines $25 voucher to be used when I spend $100 or more this month. The terms do mention it can't be used on bonus point cases, so I have included a snippet below to help guide you if you want to use the voucher. The $25...
