    Coles gift card offers

    Thanks for this. I bought 2x $250 cards paid for using my Suncorp (but really NAB) visa card. Went through no problems. Receipt turned up within a minute and the emails with the cards turned up about 10 minutes later. No luck getting the cards to open on Chrome or Edge on my windows laptop. But...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Regarding the cessation of triaging repeat callers: A number of years ago a friend of mine worked in a call centre for a utility company. She'd worked in the same place for a number of years and had become one of the senior hands. Then someone in management decided that it would improve...

    Coles gift card offers

    I bought 5x $250 cards yesterday. They have all just been declined at the ATO (initially for $249.50 (so $250 after the fee)) and then for $100 in the hope that might have made a difference). I've just successfully used 3 of them at my health insurer - so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong...

    Coles gift card offers

    I tried them all for the usual $99.80 (so $100 after the fee) and when that was declined, I dropped it to $50 to see if that made a difference (which it didn't - $50 was also declined). I haven't paid anything at the ATO for ~2 months. I was trying to pay a new quarterly instalment. All 5...

    Coles gift card offers

    Worryingly I just had 5 of the Coles $100 Mastercards (purple) (bought in the promo about 7 weeks ago) declined at the ATO. FWIW it's been more than 6 months since I last paid with one at the ATO. They hadn't been hacked because they all went through at my health insurer and energy company.

    Weekly SYD-BNE round trip

    I did a vaguely similar thing (ie self funded) between DRW and SYD for a number of years. Some things that I was doing at the end that I wish I had been doing when I started (I appreciate that some of these are obvious for road warriors - but I wish I knew them when I started). It's all much...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    Back before QF started to take delivery of their A330s (which must be nearly 20 years ago now) a small number of Qantas flight crew spent some time flying for Malaysia Airlines on their A330s to get some hours on the type and some line experience. One would assume that the crew were paid by QF...

    In a mildly disappointing development my local Coles has put a latch on both sides of the gift card cabinet. It seems to require a tool of some description to open. So there will be no more looking through the stock which hasn't been put on display for the cards you are after. The picture...

    Decent stock of the $100s at my local suburban Sydney Coles at lunchtime today. They have them prominently displayed with details of the promo everywhere.

    Qantas Block Partner Earn on Competitor Routes

    What's most strange is that the 'rule' is in the QF FF Ts&Cs... which apply to the earning and burning of QF points and don't apply to QR Privilege Club members. If I am a QR member and get rejected for a QF domestic flight then I rightfully wouldn't care what is written in the Ts&Cs between...

    BP's Mystery Summer Roadtrip bonus is a little underwhelming

    If you are like me - you probably get BP offers in your inbox which you activate and don't give a second thought to... If you happen to roll up to a BP and trigger the offer then great but if you don't then you don't. Well I've recently moved to within walking distance of a BP and I quite like...

    Coles gift card offers

    Superb. I know that it's only a $5 profit if you use flybuys points for a discount at the till, but I like the optionality of virgin points so I personally find offers like this worthwhile.

    Qantas solution to overbooking – make it difficult to checkin?

    It hadn't dawned on me that I was the one selected for bumping - but that makes sense and also explains why ROK and BNE just pushed me down the line earlier in the morning. They didn't want to be the one to break the bad news! Absolutely if they'd offered me an earlier flight I would have...

    Qantas solution to overbooking – make it difficult to checkin?

    I was recently flying SYD-BNE-MKY-ROK in QF reward business class with an overnight in MKY. The connection in BNE was 55 minutes (which is more than the MCT (which I think is 25 minutes) but still a little tight). The BNE-MKY flight was the last of the day - I really needed to be in ROK the next...

    Coles gift card offers

    Very curiously 2 stores where there were no cards on Friday (either on the shelf, at the service desk or in the cupboard behind the shelf) all had a decent number of $100 cards on the shelf yesterday. So if you are passing today it might be worth another look in store...

    Coles gift card offers

    I haven't found any at any of the 3 stores I have tried today (all were good for $100 cards yesterday). Sadly none in the cupboards either (although one store had several boxes of the old style cards). I only asked at the service desk at the last store and they didn't have any. Alas the game is up.
