I did three of the free walking tours in London recently including a Jack the Ripper themed walk. There is no pressure from the guides on what to tip and they let people pay what they are comfortable with. I love walking tours as you do hear stories about the area that you would never know...

I have points expiring later this year which I plan to use for a flight in 2022. I was wondering if anyone knows the rules around timing to extend the points for six months. I hope I will be able to travel at this time but want some flexibility. The scenario would be to book a flight for...

Wasn’t expecting this but money component has been refunded already. Checked my card and funds retuned one day after cancellation. Some background, cancelled online for a flight to Hong Kong at the end of August.

Cancelled flight today and points were returned straight away with no penalties. Just need to wait for dollar component to be refunded.

Gift card ordered on 9 April arrived today.

I mainly seem to be spending on groceries now so happy with the bonus points. I use Platinum Edge and I am also the local champion at my local woolies so I will get 6 points per dollar or how I prefer to see them as 3 Krisflyer points per dollar.

I was fortunate one time when I upgraded my amex and had to make a claim on travel purchased on my old card. I didn’t think I would be covered but thought I would ask and they paid out based on the conditions of the new card.

Thanks for your concern, well aware that there is better value for the points and will be using my KrisFlyer points for a much better return. However I raised this as an example for when you can’t transfer you points to Velocity because of the Flybuy limit. Obviously what I suggested is not...

This can be an advantage particularly if flying in Y and you can also book Qantas through Flybuys travel. i have booked a return flight to LA with Qantas for later this year In Y. I need to keep my current points stash for a business class flight to Europe later so Y it is for this trip. If I...

I did the walk through once, my wife and I were in J, daughter was in PE and son in Y. Wanted to just check that they were OK, so it was a quick visit. Son was only in Y as he didn’t commit to the trip until late but my daughter did rub it in that she must be the favourite child.

Last week I got 7600 points for $190. Biggest offer ever for one week for me.

Thanks for starting this thread. I hadn’t thought of doing a cruise like this until I read it here, although not ready to go this year. I have now booked the Majestic Princess from Hong Kong to Brisbane in 2020. We were looking for somewhere new and a chance to have lots of sea days to relax...

Easy application process, applied and got provisional approval straight away and approval was confirmed next day after answering one question.

It appears that a number of people on this thread have adopted Trumps tactic of whataboutism. Yes there are terrible things happening both in Australia and elsewhere but it doesn’t change the fact that what is happening in Brunei is wrong.

The issue is not just about people travelling through Brunei, it is how they are treating LGBTI in their own country. For this reason I will never travel on this airline, stay in a hotel owned by them or travel to their country. The more people who show that these laws are wrong the greater...

This month for me is to maximise spending within budgets. Only grocery shopping at local Coles where I am local champion so getting 4 points per dollar with Platnium Edge. Need some new furniture so have been looking and ready to make purchase on Explorer and purchasing Woolworths e cards at...

I also just received this message this evening while accessing AFF on an ipad using Safari. I have not experienced this on any other sites.

After being a volunteer at the Gold Coast Commonweath Games for the table tennis and enjoying it so much, I have applied to be a volunteer at Tokyo. I wont know if I am successful for some time but will try and book some rewards seats when available but have no idea if they will actually be...

Similar to my employment, you can only accrue 8 weeks, anything over doesn’t get deleted but converted to sick leave balance.

Better 2018 than previous year and was in top 2% in Australia and Queensland. Earned 114349 points throughout the year.
