    So, about this "wider acceptance" thing...

    I have noticed that my local Caltex servo no longer charges a surcharge for Amex.

    Adblocker Pop-up

    OK I have worked it out and am successfully posting from Chrome on my laptop. My VPN chrome extension was clearly doing something despite being turned off. I removed its access to this site and now it works.

    Adblocker Pop-up

    I’ve also set everything to allow by clicking on the padlock and site settings, no bueno.

    Adblocker Pop-up

    Thanks for your replies. I’m using Chrome, with uBlock Origin. Not sure if I can add to whitelist, there’s just a big on/off button you press and it remembers what site you set it to off for.

    Adblocker Pop-up

    I’m getting a wretched pop up asking me to disable my adblocker, and preventing me from accessing the site. I have disabled my adblocker and switched off my VPN, and I’m still getting the error. I’ve triple checked my adblocker is definitely turned off. Disabled all browser extensions. I’ve...

    Platinum Edge points earn at Dan Murphys and friends

    Hi guys, Was just checking my points balance on my account, and noticed that at both Dan Murphy's and also a Woolworths owned ALH pub bottle shop drive thru, I earned 2 points per dollar. You are only meant to earn 2 points per dollar at servos... I don't have either of those alcohol retailers...

    Kuala Lumpur Hilton vs Doubletree

    Some photos from the Traders - here is a photo I stitched together from the gym window, from memory Some of the snacks available from the exec lounge, and some of the views -

    Kuala Lumpur Hilton vs Doubletree

    Have not stayed at any Bukit Bintang hotels, but the Traders is but a short 10 min walk away. The Doubletree is further away. Honestly for central location, the Traders cannot be beat, in my opinion. The whole time the wife and I were at the Doubletree, we were wishing we were at the Traders...

    Kuala Lumpur Hilton vs Doubletree

    The Doubletree was not bad. Although the wife and I had breakfast in the exec lounge every morning, until the chef said to us, 'Have you guys checked out the breakfast buffet downstairs?' We first kind of took it as an insult, like he was trying to get rid of us... until we actually went and had...

    Radelaide

    I've tried every Argentinean place in the city several times - and I've come to the conclusion that the Gauchos that I once revered is overpriced. The best Argentinean place for my money is Sosta in Rundle St. Absolutely wonderful and delicious food. Go there once and you'll never set foot in...

    AMEX Platinum Edge - 15,000 bonus points

    While I can definitely not compete with the comprehensiveness of the last post, especially given I'm posting this from my iPhone.. I can certainly say without a doubt that I agree with the positive reviews of this card. It's fantastic. And using the iOS Amex app and enrolling in Local Champion...

    VA & BP big announcment?

    It's weird how I'm seeing a lot of people complain about BP's higher prices - in SA, they are the same price as other servos, if not lower.

    Has anyone's MR points disappeared...

    Mine have just re appeared, but the local champion section hasnt recognised that I shopped with two of my chosen retailers yesterday. Does it take a while to update? Also, I am going around in circles on my account page on my desktop. Under membership rewards, I click on 'view and redeem'. It...

    Has anyone's MR points disappeared...

    from their account? On both desktop and ios app, my ascent points have vanished. As well as the 'local champion' page on the app. Is it just me or is it everyone?

    VA Global Wallet

    Yep, it's the same terminal. Swipe Velocity card first, wait for confirmation, then swipe/insert/tap credit card. I'm still chuckling about being issued a credit card with only one month before expiry on it. Virgin weren't able to tell me how that happened. And I agree, the inactivity fee...

    VA Global Wallet

    Received my GW card in the mail today. With expiry date of 02/16, next month!!! In fact the cards pictured in the Global Wallet brochure have a longer expiry date, heh. Contacted Virgin via twitter, they're going to send out a new card. Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but the load fee...
