I just got the same - when I completed the initial registration/survey it said "You will initially be surveyed about flights departing Sydney and Perth, and other locations will be added in 2011.

Today I returned a vehicle that I'd driven just 20kms (Sydney airport to city and back), and, as usual, the attendant asked "Have you filled it up?" which I had (all 3.7 litres it took). He then asked me to produce a tax invoice from the petrol station showing when, where, and how much fuel I...

Goodness, can't believe this thread has come up again - I think it was an issue for maybe a 24 hr period or something, 6 months back...

I'm still in the process - after several calls and emails, they've put me onto the Hertz program manager for my CDP #. She's contacted me via a voicemail message - misse her call - and she's agreed to upgrade me, but left a mobile number to call her back which didn't work - all seems...

I booked a Lexus IS250 from Sydney last week as Group D wasn't available. Cost was very reasonable considering. I'm certainly no fan of Lexus, but it was actually a surprisingly good drive. The seats were fantastic (although not much leg room in the rear - but I did have a passenger in the...

I've reached 30 rentals since January this year - within 6 months. Do you reckon they'd push me up to PC if I called them? I'd have no incentive to continue renting with them for the rest of the year otherwise, as I'll be made PC in 6 months time, and could spend my money building status with...

Re: Qantas iPhone check in Oh well - still useful if one can anticipate a late arrival 45 min in advance :D

Re: Qantas iPhone check in I can't wait to be able to check in when I'm approaching -30 mins from boarding and stuck in traffic.

I might be shunned for giving my opinion here, but regardless of one's reasons for flying (whether for business, leisure, or simply to earn points and chase a status), a frequent flyer/traveller program is designed to benefit those who travel regularly. Sure, there will be some people who fly...

Just a follow up to this - I am currently on the Flight Bookings page for an ASA MELSYD, and when I click and open the "Business" Fare Types pop-up, I read the following (which may have been added/amended since this post started): Link to the page where I read that is: Bookings - Fare Types

Hi, I've made the switch back to QF this year but still DJ Gold, and today received a Virgin Blue survey asking my opinion on proposed new Virgin Money credit card offerings that offer rewards programs closely tied to Virgin Blue. Certain unusual benefits proposed included: - 2-for-1...

I just searched the iTunes store and couldn't see it either :S The description sounds like the iPhone-optimised website to me... which is fine for most purposes...

I'm with you Dave - rules are rules, laws are laws, and electronic devices are electronic devices.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading that it does NOT include payments with Qantas Holidays (which may incorporate Hotel bookings???) But I can confirm that a $50 change fee for an existing flight counted as my first QF spend with my Ultimate Card, if that helps (which it probably doesn't in...

It's my understanding that if you have and additional 3 (or is it 6?) months on your previous year's status if you fail to re-qualify, after which time you'll drop down to whatever you would have qualified for (in your case, Silver). So I'd say, enjoy the Gold perks a bit longer until they...

AdMEL - Hertz didn't have any Group F available in Sydney CBD, or else I would have! That's interesting about your Thrifty experience - they did the same to me once at Avalon airport - gave me a Camry instead of a Fullsize - so I drove it to MEL and asked them to swap it :P

Can't comment for Avis, but I've so far made 18 Group D rentals this year with Hertz. This year I've had (I've just been entering my Hertz invoices into MYOB!): 1x Aurion Sportivo 7x Commodore SV6 4x Ford XR6 1x Ford G6 1x Commodore Omega 3x Calais (Upgrade to P) 1x Statesman (Upgrade to F) I...

That's lucky! I usually hire from Syd airport in busy times (weekday mornings), but 3 times this year I have been asked when picking up from SYD if I would forgo the Group D booking I made and take a Corolla as that was all they had available, and otherwise it would be a minimum 30 min wait to...

FYI, I ended up renting Group P from Sydney Downtown and received a Calais (badly scratched/dented, spring-loaded key wouldn't open, nearly 50,000kms on the clock). So might have well booked a Group D and hoped for either an XR6 or an upgrade to the Calais anyway! AdMEL - I have a few reasons...

Hi Guys, Normally not fussed about the car I get (although always prefer not to have Toyota's!) - however I have a rental this weekend and I'm hoping for a decent car. I'm thinking of booking group P instead of usual Group D. But sometimes when I book into Group D I get an UG to Group F -...
