    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Over Covid I have had to be on hold several times for 45 minutes to over an hour. This was to cancel flights that was impossible to do on the Q web site. Sadly the long wait times were there pre Covid and I really wonder what Qantas and other companies will do when they can’t blame Covid for...

    When is fraud, not fraud? [Car rental charges after return]

    Standard procedure: Photo of Odometer at start and end of hire. Video of car at start and end of hire. All easily done on your phone. The biggest ripoff from hire companies is the daily insurance they charge to cover the $4,000 excess or damage but you can get a better rare online on your phone...

    Woolworths reviewing partnership with Qantas Frequent Flyer.

    Me too. Was getting about 40k of points a year but only shopped at Woolies for the EDR QFF points. IGA is closer by 5Km and there is a First Choice Liquor on the corner. Haven't had any offers since the program is supposed to finish at the end of the year.

    Are you ‘better’ at collecting FF points/managing your account when you have a goal?

    Re: Are you ‘better’ at collecting FF points/managing your account when you have a go I think a FF points goal is very important. In 2012 we took the family (4 of us) to New York for Xmas (Waldorf) and New Year in Vegas (Bellagio). All up just under 700,000 points plus taxes. Came home...

    Amex Amex Amex

    I have often considered the Platinum Charge Card - years ago had the Gold Charge Card. The problem here is that the Director of Domestic Affairs here (Read that as wife AKA Boss) will not let me spend $900 on a card fee! There are lots of other benefits with it and we travel overseas at...

    Amex Amex Amex

    I too have just received an offer from Amex to transfer to the Ultimate card with free flight for $192 for the first year and then $395 each year after which I already pay for my Platinum CC. I have collected 160,00 Membership Rewards points since April 2009 but they are going nowhere and I...
