    Airbus A380 resin model 1:200

    Not sure if this belongs here or Playground, just thought other aviation enthusiasts would like to know Kogan has the Airbus A380 model on special. Of course it's a Chinese knockoff and not the best quality brand version but for $49 to decorate your office, it's alright. Not sure how much...

    An invitation from Lesley Grant, Qantas Customer Loyalty CEO

    Just saw my E-Mail and searched on Twitter and saw like to this AFF thread :D Nine different currencies at once? Yikes, who would need that, but guess it's handy anyways. Downside is that the QCard is doing the QCash with CashPassport and they're a bit of a rip off aren't they? Can only reload...

    In flight duty free to DFW [Reinstated]

    Sarks. Maybe Alan Joyce wants all the cheap grog to himself, well the Irish Cream at least. Seems a bit odd that a fairly complex company like an airline would forget something like that, especially one that helps customer experience and perhaps even make a buck. Pretty silly to cut out 200kgs...

    Qantas CU - Platinum Visa

    Thanks for info FFers. Won't apply for this one now, seems like too much docs hassle for 6months spend to get 30k QFF points. It's good that Credit Unions are stricter, but surely at least with QCU they already have your ID from opening the account and using that Australian-invention of...

    Everyday Rewards - 10000 Bonus points. No annual Fee.

    Have seen ones with $5000. Can nominate it. Perhaps they've changed the minimum - my info is 3 months old. The online service/data is lackluster. Am looking to go with a bank one like nab or Visa Platinum with Qantas Credit Union. Think the flybuys nab one with 10k bonus is OK. Wonder if they'll...

    Can anyone explain this item on my EDR Statement?

    Keep receipts of what you buy and match around the dates and $25 obviously. I thought at first TS was Telstra perhaps and thought it was 'No Contract' with an r as in pre-paid mobile phone, but that's silly as they'd just use Telstra Pre-Paid, then again WW & EDR has a pretty coughpy website, so...

    Repayment options

    Anyone know about the double points for using Direct Debit payments to clear your balance? If you've done it, do you know if they accept the authorization form by fax? How long does it take to set up? Have a payment due by 6th. Not sure it'll go through in time, perhaps it can be arranged over...

    What Steps to make long haul travel more comfortable?

    Not a load of cough, it's easily absorbed and goes up through the blood stream. However the oil in Vicks isn't the best quality. Menthol isn't the best oil for cough either. Different types of infections and coughs. Can simply take garlic to rid the infection and help open up the airways a bit...

    Flybuys and Virgin???

    Interesting. Once FB gets a proper airline partner I'll start switching most of my spend to them from WOW's EDR. Wish Officeworks was still part of Wesfarmers/Coles. And Myer. I think the $50 minimum at Dick Smith and $30 elsewhere is a bit tough. Is webjet the best third party site in terms...

    The most fortuitus mistake made by an airline or loyalty program to benefit you?

    5000 bonus points for every 5th transaction? Was that legit or a mistake? When was this? Would love to get on that. Buy low priced items, 5 times in one day. Guess they must have had a minimum price and limit per day.

    Do airlines profile their frequent flyers?

    Hmm that's a good moral. Then again it discourages complaints. Guess it'd have to be done anonymously, or as a veiled threat to use competitors for bad service. Will start sending compliments, roses, chocolates for each flight I go on. Maybe Irish Creme to Alan Joyce, anyone know what he drinks...

    What Steps to make long haul travel more comfortable?

    Being at front of plane helps, most pure of the recirculated air with more oxygen. Drink lots of water and eat the lighter foods. Tomato juice is nice too - due to cabin pressure it taste sweeter than at sea level. Negative air ionizer by Elanra. Clove or similar anti-everything essential...

    Promotions to USA in Aug/Sept?

    Nice link. Thanks for posting. Will check it out for PER-EWR for May on Qantas. Edit: Dang that GetFlight.com.au site is awesome, so easy and intuitive. If only more websites were so simple.

    Macquarie Bank - Term Deposit Offer - Hey Red Roo!!

    Good point. Then do it through your SMSF. Set up with Cleardocs.com for less then $200 for registration etc and the trust is usually around $700 mark to set up. Anyone else use a SMSF and which company did you set it up with? Have heard of one doing it online and it's free 'til Feb 29th.

    Body scanners in Aus... No option to opt out?

    Big Tobacco 1990s = Big Telecoms 2030s or so. Give it time. Same ****, different decade and new risks. Meanwhile feel free to stand right in front of your old microwave ovens (if you're crazy enough to have one) every time you use it & talking on cell phone in a car. Don't come whining to me &...

    Becoming a BPay Biller thru a Biz Bank? Anyone done it? Fees?

    Guess there's always PayPal for that then. Purchasing spouses and friends stuff on eBay, and stuff being anything really, $5,000 for a hug or whatever LOL. Or a physical item that isn't shipped, but bid way over normal so no one else buys it. Of course eBay probably monitor this on fraud for...

    Becoming a BPay Biller thru a Biz Bank? Anyone done it? Fees?

    Yikes, cool dude! Thanks. Think I saw this page but didn't realise Registration would be it, thought that might be for starting to pay a bill on BPay rather than receiving them. Hmm a bit pricey, which financial institution is that with? Could probably just do it with PayPal but for some...

    Amex: Turn your recurring bills into ongoing rewards..1K bonus points per partner

    Was on the phone to them the other day for some admin stuff and just checked and was told it's only for certain cards. Then when I called again to check if you can buy BP gift cards to get the 5x bonus (so 6 pts per $1) [A: yes you can!] I asked again (always gotta double check these days) and...

    duty free booze from LHR and SIN security

    Dropkicks LOL haven't heard that in ages. But that term is usually reserved for those uneducated rent-a-cops. Anyhow, rules are made to be broken. That 100mL rule is the silliest cough ever. Fact is, anything on the airside is supposed to be secure. So if you buy booze on the secure side it...
