Hi. Got an email saying my travel credit was ok to use on Friday. Tried to book something today and its not available ,,, you find this out once you've put in all the kids details and searched for an hour etc. And I quote "Looking for Travel Bank? Travel Bank is currently unavailable for...

I just mentioned it in case others were thinking of trying that escape route. Its going to be long haul indeed. It was fairly easy to do the online claim at least. MC go through Allianz Global Assist. Here's the blurb from the letter "We are writing to advise that we are denying your claim...

Hope this isn't off topic but when virgin cancelled my $4G worth of flights I put in an insurance claim via my Mastercard Westpac Black card. It usually has helpful insurance but not this time - it was rejected. I know there have rumors of this but I can confirm they are using COVID as reason.

My only hope will be CC refund. Apparently the NAB holds the book for all the insurances so look out.

We were in Vanuatu for Xmas. Such an easy trip from Brisbane but the delays at the airport were unacceptable. 45 mins for passport stamp and then 45mins for a ridiculous scan of baggage for everyone. This is a new scanner apparently - ridiculous for a flight coming from Australia into a country...

Hi Came here from another thread. DFW to SYD 10 days ago and sorry didn't think of snapping a photo. The champers was advertised as the Charles Heidsieck but was a different NV French champagne house I did not recognise - and I know my champers ... so probably a $50 to $80 bottle. An ALDI...

I'd wolf down as much of that S&P squid as you can before you get on that flight on Qantas. Just flew F DFW to SYD and all 3 courses of the dinner were inedible. Got through half of each course with one glass of some $50 champers as the stewardess forgot to come back with my dinner wine. A...

When I went to the Sakura first lounge in 2016 they had Glenlivet 18 and Hibiki 21 yr old scotch on free pour. Thats impressive.

Soon we will get a nice implant from .gov and we wont have to worry about anything.:oops:

Am thinking of being a Air BnB host but something holds me back We used it on stay in Dubrovnik last year - height of summer , place was very close to city, by a miracle the uber guy knew the lane - the instructions to get there could have made it an extra hour.... but it was strangely...

This is fairly normal in the USA. Especially in the cheaper hotels where you think you are getting a bargain. Off season and off the strip you can get a place for $35 / night . Have you been to Vegas before? It gets quite seedy quite quickly when you move off the strip so just make sure the...

My favourite gin is the West Winds - the Cutlass The Aussie botanicals work very well and we always serve it at our parties People start with a couple of stiff ones and as it’s 50% it sneaks up on you and things are soon a bit crazier.... in a fun way.

Your extras in the hotel may be claimable if you can go through the pain of claiming. I once waited 6 months for a Europcar 200 points with Accor, not to mention the 3 phone calls.

I'm Accor Platinum and its fairly useless. I've been gold or platinum by default for about 8 years and in that time only had a couple of upgrades usually through making a bad google review where they gave me the line of someone I have to call every time I stay with them so that he can directly...

MAybe the manager of the hotel brought some old habits with them from when they worked at Avis....

The way the Aussie dollar is going it might be worth loading some Yen onto your Qantascash card sooner than later.

I've had issues with AA not processing my onward Qantas flight as it was made on a seperate booking so that may need a bit of time. Did you say the F lounge? If you have a tight connection does being in F get you through quicker?

Amex generally are the only cards giving points for ATO spend these days - together with the higher charges. With the amex devaluation I'm not bothering paying the ATO by CC anymore.
