Re: 5xbonus at BP 'til 31Dec2011[Ext.to 31Mar2012] Must register your card. BP Express Belair on Wednesday - $1000 (on three cards as per previous post) purchased on Amex with no problem. I did notice though as the attendant was registering the cards that there was a very small sign on the...

Re: 5xbonus at BP 'til 31Dec2011[Ext.to 31Mar2012] Must register your card. Went to buy 5x$200 cards yesterday but they only had three - and one of those is a $25 card. Not to worry, two have $400 on them and one has $200. The attendant helpfully asked if I would like one with all $1000 on...

As much as I like the ADL lounge (perhaps being my "local") I am always impressed with the staff at MEL. About a month ago I was awaiting my flight home in the MEL lounge when I spotted a lounge angel carrying some newspapers over to the table. She saw me looking and came over to my seat to...

I spent the first eight months of my now thirty years in the public service as a pay clerk and still find it useful to remember there are 313 fortnights in 12 years. (IE find fortnightly pay by multiplying annual salary by 12 and divide by 313). Richard.

I also got this offer, and like you I always pay in full so never* pay any interest. My offer also came with a substantial "conditionally approved" credit limit increase that amounts to some 60% over what I considered was a pretty reasonable original limit (~17% of then annual income). I like...

On re-reading her Farcebook posts, I see she did use the word "later" rather than "late" and so was probably referring to the total trip time. Her first post included "Waiting for fuel but the airport is closed for Xmas!". Her "arrival" post was just over 4 1/2 hours later. I wouldn't have...

My cousin was on that flight. I was a little surprised when she reported she was sitting on the tarmac at RAAF Sale. They got into Melbourne ten hours late complete with lightning strike on the aircraft on the way from Sale. Richard.

Really doesn't help much does it ? When investigating similar issues at my organisation I pull the logs from our gateway mail server. Either the lost email didn't reach our outer boundary (very rare) or I can provide the ip address of the next server in the chain with the date and time it...

Ahhh, the saying that has been around for years ! It may not be a bug per se but the mechanism that allows two accounts to be created by different people in that way would seem to be an issue then. Richard.

IT never fails to surprise :) Richard.

I have a gmail address I rarely use which gets forwarded to my primary address. My gmail address has a couple of dots in the name as separators. A couple of months ago I received several Jetstar emails including a couple of itineraries that had been sent to an address that was the same as mine...

Yep, from the terms and conditions at https://www.everydayrewards.com.au/edr/wps/portal/rewards/root/termsandconditions/... I guess we accepted these when joining, but it would be polite if they sent an email to explain what they're doing. Richard.

29.6% to be precise. Original limit was around 16% of annual income which I thought was reasonable given the aggregated credit limits on my other cards. This card is very handy but is only a backup to my Amex cards. The only interest I've paid was about $1.50 due to a lottery purchase being...

Similarly here, in my case though a 30% increase. I've never got near to exhausting my current limit but I'm the sort who likes the convenience of a large limit for the odd occasion it is needed. I do wonder why they couldn't include the letter in with my monthly statement - that arrived in a...

The evaluation of iOS for up to RESTRICTED/PROTECTED is expected to be completed by September 2011. Richard.

Were you inquiring specifically about Markis10's journeys ? As I posted earlier in this thread (post 43) I used one at MEL a fortnight ago. Richard.

Used Priority Boarding Saturday June 11 from gate 7 at MEL. I walked straight to the front of the priority lane (after walking straight through premium screening), my BP was scanned immediately and straight onto the aircraft I went. Very civilised. Had a great flight on a premium economy...

How do you "wake a sleeping colleague" by sending a message to their screen ? Why try to spin the act of sending stupid messages among themselves (and failing) with an implausible excuse ?

Around twenty years ago I had the privilege of a session on the RAAF's P3 (Orion) simulator. Quite a few airports, and cities generally, were extremely well represented - Kai Tak especially so. All of the visual landmarks (eg a large Coca Cola sign) and navigational beacons of course were...

ditto here also (once I remembered to re-whitelist the site in NoScript) Richard
