    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    Qantas points can be easily acquired for 1c/point (or less). Qantas holds the value of unredeemed points on its balance sheet at <1c/point (~0.7c last time I checked). They are never going to release so much premium seat inventory that the redemption value of Qantas points goes above those...

    Crediting status to QF for EK flight

    Hi Mickey, I've recently flown a number of QF marketed EK F and J flights so can help here. Basically all you lose out on is a chauffeur transfer and free Wifi access if you are a Skywards member. Lounge access is based on class of travel, or on status, so no change QF vs EK. You can purchase a...

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    I was surprised to read this - thank you for sharing. My data point is that I emailed the new address 3 weeks ago, and this was my exact situation. I agreed to a flight change for a QF booking on a partner airline, and the revised e-ticket has "not come through in a prompt manner." 3 weeks on...

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    I have not, and haven't heard of anybody else receiving a response either. The jury is still out on the thread title claim of the issues being fixed

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    Well done to the AFF team on this work and a very interesting article. I have emailed that address after checking and seeing that a booking I made is not ticketed correctly, will report back with any progress.

    Farewell QFF

    Qantas values unredeemed points on their balance sheet at 0.7c per point - this is freely and publicly available in their annual report and other releases. I find it amazing that people think Qantas will make it easy for them to redeem their points at many multiples of that value on business...

    Taking Qantas to NCAT

    What did they claim were direct costs and what were consequential? I assume the flight costs (which you say were 3x) were accepted as direct? However nothing else was?

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    I made several unsuccessful attempts to offset flights after booking, and never got a green leaf. This week I booked a classic flight reward, paid for the offset in cash, and received the green leaf a couple of days later. Tragically my flight plans have changed and I will have to cancel the...

    Advice on champagne

    Thanks for posting this one Tommo, was able to pick up a few bottles at what I felt were very good prices. Louis Roederer NV at $54 and Bollinger at $58 with the discounts. Unfortunately Veuve Clicquot Vintage wasn't available in my area

    Vinomofo Wine Deals

    Has this wine been identified? I have had my best crack at attempting to determine it but so far unsuccessfully. A guess is Balnaves the Tally which scored 94 points from Halliday for the 2010 vintage and is from Coonawarra. I also found a Di Giorgio Cabernet Sauvignon that won a blue-gold medal...

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    Here's another Dans 6 pack which I haven't seen mentioned yet. Not as high level as the all-reds pack that has been mentioned: the 2010 Grey Label, the Chris Ringland and the Yering Chardonnay are all solid wines and then there are 3 fillers...

    Vinomofo Wine Deals

    The Original Club is 12 wines either red, white or mixed - and they tell you what you are getting in advance. The Salvation Cases are a lucky dip based on what they've had returned/broken/lying around. Average bottle price is quite a bit lower and is well suited to people who don't mind a punt

    Vinomofo Wine Deals

    They've given us absolutely nothing to work with except a 97 point score, no critic mentioned. Rockford Basket Press? Wolf Blass Platinum Label? I imagine they might give away the fact both were from the same producer so seems unlikely. Peter Lehmann Stonewell? They've had it before but $180 is...

    Vinomofo Wine Deals

    The 6 Wolf Blass (agree with you it is probably White Label) are worth ~$150 so the Shiraz would need to be something absolutely phenomenal to make it worth bothering with. Penfolds RWT is the only Barossa Shiraz I can think of that would be worth raising at that price, and got 97 points from...
