With all this talk recently, I don't even know if ppl outside of Ozbargain or AFF are doing their shopping right. Compared to someone who goes to say Aldi, I get all my name brands at Colesworth and throw into the mix discounted gift cards, half price offers, loyalty points, bonus points, I...

Just wondering if anyone has had success in getting points by using the AmpolCard at EG Woolworths? I think I read that the 4c fuel discount is definitely out if using the fuel card (and not using own credit card and seeking reimbursement later). My partner is just starting a new novated...

What are people's experiences if this has happened to you?

As a Hilton Diamond, I often get asked this at check in, despite having stayed there many nights for the mattress runs. I mean, can't they see it on their computer? Do you get asked this at other chains?

For the past week, all of the Amex transactions using Samsung Wallet for both of my Amex cards (including the ones in my partner's phone) got declined. Physical cards work fine. Anyone else with this problem?

Just flew BCN to AMS, first time on KLM and first time to AMS. First impression: airport is a mess. Poor signage, long walk from gate to carousel. It's like the plane parked in one terminal and the luggage ended up in another. Maybe I'm too used to how things are done with SQ and SIN, or even...

As per the title, has anyone else had this issue? I'm the primary traveller on the booking and my points come through ok. *sigh* have to chase VA again when I'm back in Australia. And for the first time ever, my partner has a boarding pass printed at the check in counter with a misspelled...

Walking from car park to terminal, someone coughed walking towards me. Waiting to put stuff on tray for security, some old woman pushed in saying she’s got 10 mins. Then later I didn’t even see her run to the VA gate. Then people waiting behind were coughing. Then inside VA lounge as well…...

I'm normally a Google-fu in my daily life, but I'm having real trouble finding things using the search function here. Too often I'm hit with the message the words are too long, too short or too common. Any tips, other than searching via Google?

Someone commented on a thread (that I cannot find now) that only single seats are available. I think I've just experienced this first hand. I booked a reward flight for MEL-SYD when only one J is showing as available for redemption. At the time of booking, all 8 seats are available. After...

When i was booking stays for my last trip, I would book the semi flexible rate and if the price drops I would go into the booking, edit it and choose the room again at the lower rate. However recently I tried this trick and even though the confirmation screen shows the lower rate (as well as...

Here's a new one 😬 https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/holiday-nightmare-jetstar-makes-sudden-uturn-45-hours-into-flight-to-bali/news-story/0c6cf752d08818fdd521e59002c740a3

Just saw this on reddit... authentic?

As a non-QF fan, often when the subject of flying comes up amongst friends and colleagues, I would question why they would fly with them and discourage them from doing so and encourage them to try other airlines instead. Any of you do the same?

So we and another family are going to PER in Jan 2023. Friends booked a QF holiday package while we booked VA. Friends received a notification saying the original flight from PER-MEL (QF776) at 16:10 has been "cancelled" and they've been moved to QF776 departing at 18:10, meaning they will...

So I've encountered this strange problem. Booked a stay at Alexandra Hotel, Barcelona. Have put in the name of the additional guest. Stay shows up correctly with the additional guest in the app. Then hours later, the name of the additional guest disappears! All my other bookings at MEL and...

I was watching a YouTube video the other day. There was a shot of a sign at SIN immigration saying you are only eligible to exit the airport if you have a minimum of 8 hours till your next flight. Has anyone seen this before? I cannot find anything online. SIN airport used to offer those free...

So I've been looking at fares in Feb 2023 for a status run to maintain gold. There are business class fares for just under $300 one way around the Rex departure times as Rex was selling at $300. When I was looking originally, there was an ok $99 early morning departure in Y. Then when I was...

So I've starting booking rooms for Europe summer 2023. Booked a junior suite for EUR3xx. Then the next day, it went up by EUR 40 a night. I did wonder if my booking caused the room to go up because the system algorithm says the demand has gone up, or the hotel is only prepared to sell that...

Is it normal NOT to receive a new booking confirmation email after modifying an existing booking using the same booking number? Noticed that for the Europe bookings and now also the MEL bookings. Have been modifying the bookings due to rate changes and also one date change.
