    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    I think QLD gov owns its power companies still - so this might be a good way of avoiding them delivering massive profits during a cost of living crisis. 😂 Unlike here in Vic, power companies just fleece us mercilessly and then happily report their profits.

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    I have a smart meter and since posting that little message my AGL app now shows energy use for 30 April … problem is so does the Red Energy App …. I think I fail churn school. 😆

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    Well I got a bunch of sign-up emails and have an AGL account … but I am very much still a Red Energy customer. 🙄

    Adding flight segment - Diff availability for new and existing booking

    I can report having the same thing. No solution was found and my mother had to travel the AY sector added to the booking in Y.

    AMEX Platinum Charge Benefits - Q&A

    Lol what a lame list of benefits. Surprised they didn’t include “ability to pay your bill” or “excessive foreign currency fees” as benefits.

    Qantas App issues?

    Agreed. I wish I hadn’t opened the app this morning (before knowing of these issues). I didn’t see anyone else's details but how can we be sure our data was not accessed.

    Bumped off oversold flight as a WP

    That’s easy - $0 Which is why we need EU style rules (which wouldn’t apply here anyway as the delay was minor).

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    It’s interesting isn’t it - apparently perfectly legal to block a creditor from accessing their secured assets because the company that leased those assets also owe you?

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    It will be interesting to know the issue of the failure, it seems that 777 creditors in the US are going after any assets linked to 777. It looks like it was creditors that had the Bonza planes moved into the AIP Capital Joint venture which A-Cap took control of and has now repossessed the...

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates.

    QF was always quick to publish the ongoing savings from sacking its local maintenance crew and outsourcing …. I’d love to know the lost profit from having 4 A380s sitting in Abu Dhabi for years during the largest growth in travel and airfares for decades.

    AMEX Platinum Charge Benefits - Q&A

    i’ve had the same for delay claims. Problem is, let’s see Chubb’s approach after we’ve spent a few weeks in a US hospital and need to be flown home … bet a different agent handles that claim.

    AMEX Platinum Charge Benefits - Q&A

    While I don’t necessarily agree with the interpretation (as it is unclear and unclear terms should be interpreted in the insured’s favour) - I agree its not worth the risk and so for redemption trips I have to rely on alternatives. I’ve said it before, but for $1400 we should get an annual...

    AMEX Platinum Charge Benefits - Q&A

    I think the aus aligns completely with the current Amex Plat offering. Its now just a coupon book that provides access to nice but overcrowded lounges. I’d much prefer the return of AFR, costs me $700 pa since it was cut from amex years ago.

    Dubai Flood on QF Tickets - anyone else having difficulty getting reimbursed?

    I’d be interested in what people get from EU regulations … how long does the weather excuse last? Just the day of the weather or the subsequent multi-day operational collapse EK experienced?

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    I’m no defender of the quality of Qantas’s catering, however at least it is served in actual tableware and glasses not cardboard boxes and plastic cups.

    They are currently empty… along with the rest of the flight:

    ☹️ seat changed at checkin

    Travelling QF F the LAX host will escort you to the very front of the queue (embarrassingly often just in front of some old lady or person in wheelchair).

    AMEX Platinum Charge Benefits - Q&A

    I’ve gone completely off Hertz, especially in the US where they routinely sent their customers to gaol due to Hertz’s incompetence and poor systems. https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-03-14/renting-a-car-from-hertz-you-could-wind-up-in-jail EDIT: I know its OT but some people may have...

    Which Melbourne hotel has best Lounge

    Hilton Little Queen Executive Lounge serves its purpose… but in no way worthy of a special visit.
