I personally rent from Hertz (due to Pres. Circle status and cushy CDP code) but I also know an Avis outlet and how the Avis system works. When checking out, there is a fuel out code, y/Gx. x = integer of /8th of how full the tank is, so it can either be 7/8th full or full (or less). This...

Could you expand on that?

Said laptop has since been formatted after my last post, and hasn't been used much since. At the moment, I'm on a V/Line train and tetethered through my mobile, and again I received a Adblocker warning. I am using Chrome, I am signed in to my Google account and so the same extensions that are on...

I put a company wide ban on fuel reimbursements for 7 Eleven purchases following the 7 Corners revelations about wages. But, now I read about Caltex etc and so a 'boycott list' just becomes all too hard.. Especially as I'm already managing a kill list, revenge list.. and forth

I put a bag thru at SYD once that apparently touched the sides. This caused the machine to shutdown (line was closed and everyone diverted to adjoining lines). If the machines are this touchy, lets not use them as an alternative to getting medical imaging. I'm pretty sure they take a y & z...

I like to board last because standing in a line of people in an aisle, watching one person who can't think "if I stop fumbling looking for something in my suitcase before putting it in to the overhead locker and step out of the aisle for a few seconds, 20 people can pass me and we can get on our...

Due to the CDP attached to my profile, I'm fairly loyal to Hertz (and have been a pres. circle member for quite some time). In a previous post, I happily reported that I've had no billing dramas or faux damage reports, and while the latter is still true, there are some cracks starting to appear...

I received some spam welcome correspondence from the flying roo today about their new My Cards program. Qantas Mall My sceptical understanding of it is that you allow QF to access your transaction data from other Mastercards in exchange for bonus points when you accept offers from affiliated...

"do not track" is/was turned off. No new extensions in at least 6 months.

I had this popup appear today for the first time while using my laptop (Chrome). I don't, nor have I ever used Adblocker. The only difference today is I'm on the family's wifi (which is using a stock standard iiNet modem)

Sorry @Casual Class another user PM'd me 7 minutes before your message... Unless I cut them both in half and give you two halves each?

Just received a pair of gold Qantas Q tags in the post. Having only received a pair not long ago (reaching silver) I really have no use for these. Free to a good home. First in, best dressed.

Wendover Productions has done a lot of great videos on the aviation industry. Suggest checking out his other ones and his other channel HalfAsInteresting

Depends on the location (and the brand). If its a franchise, then up to 50% But franchise or corporate, of course, there'd be an incentive to upsell

India - My perception is the whole country is just overpopulated, full of beggers and has a poor human:toilet ratio. Been to Vietnam earlier in the year though, felt completely safe (though I was in regional DaNang)

I had a flick through my past 19 rental receipts for this year, there was one over-billing issue (sort of). Rented from MEL at 0600 and returned to GEX when they opened the next day at 0800, got charged the extra 2 hrs (despite asking Geelong agent (whom I knew well) if she could knock the extra...

My first trip to the US about 5 yrs ago with UA on the return leg, lost track of time, raced back to LAX, had to cut in front of 30 people in the security queue, ran all the way to the gate and managed to board. We sat there for 40 minutes until the golden announcement came over "this flight...

I am a frequent (Pres Circle) renter with Hertz. I've never really had a major issue with them. I never look at the car before I go, I rarely check the agreement before I pick up either as I'm not required to sign it, I usually just tell them to save the paper and not print it. Returning I...

I booked a RTW ticket earlier this year. Made the booking by phone as it was too close to book it via the website. Was told that I could make changes to the routing, but would have to pay a change fee. If there was a positive difference in the new route, I would have to pay the difference, if...

Absolutely it is. I was going through LHR security on the way back from TXL last week. There is a family ahead of me. Mum has to pull the baby out of the pram and go through the metal detector. Security were summing up the pram and realise it's too big to go through x-ray and so they just...
