Perhaps I should clarify. My split payments involved something like a $20.05 grocery shop where the $20 was paid with one card and the remaining 5 cents paid with the BankWest card. So just a single Bankwest payment for that transaction. But I acknowledge your comment about smaller transactions...

Received a letter from BankWest today saying they'll be closing my Qantas Transaction Account in January "pursuant to the account terms and conditions". I opened the account in June 2018 after seeing discussion about it in these fora. Since then, I've kept a couple of thousand dollars in the...

I suspect the Pullman Adelaide on Hindmarsh Square is being used for quarantine. There is temporary fencing blocking access to the hotel and part of Hindmarsh Square directly outside the hotel. There's also someone uniformed (security?) stationed in the driveaway outside the hotel. I stayed at...

I had a booking for Mercure Welcome Melbourne for Easter last year (2020). I was planning on attending shows at the Melbourne Comedy Festival which was cancelled. I "lifted and shifted" the booking to Easter this year instead. A couple of weeks ago I received an email from the hotel advising...

I received my refunds from TID a couple of days ago. Relatively small amounts of money involved but better in my pocket than theirs...

I received another email from TID yesterday. To be honest, I found the email a little confusing and wordy but it mentioned the continuing COVID-19 situation, credits, refunds and cancellations. I was led to believe that refunds were not possible for the two policies I held for cancelled trips...

Received an email this morning saying my order is on its way. There's a tracking number but when I try to log into the Qantas Store to check progress it says the website's unavailable.

Spotted a mention of the Qantas Care Packs on social media just before I left for work yesterday morning. Was tossing up whether to buy a pack then and there or wait until I got home from work. Glad I decided to buy one straight away as it seems they sold like the proverbial hot cakes.

I received a similar offer, with the option of either 10k points or $50 off in a single shop. Over the past few weeks I've received a couple of offers valid for just a few days - Spend $60 for 1000 points Thursday-Sunday etc. However, this is the first multiple week offer I've received in...

I've just received a reply from TID. Apparently I am not eligible for a refund as my policy's cooling off period has expired. But they have offered me credit for a new policy to be used before 30 June 2021. I probably would have preferred a refund but at least I have 13 months to use the credit.

Thanks for the tip. I was supposed to be leaving on a 3 day cruise on 5 June and am insured with TID. I've just submitted a cancellation request. Will see what the outcome is.

Oops, my mistake. I've had another look. The points are there but the status credits directly underneath it are from BP.

I did a big (for me) Woolies shop at about lunchtime yesterday. I was about 200 points away from the 2k sweep. I spent about $60 and, combined with a 5x point offer, it got me over the line. The points and SCs were already in my account when I checked at about 6pm.

I also have a Cathay pack that looks to be the same vintage as mrsterryn's. Gets used on the odd occasion when young relatives come to visit and we play a game of Snap!

My 2000 points have also arrived.

Received an email at about noon today: Flash offer, get in quick! Transfer your flybuys points to Velocity between 18 February 2020 and 25 February 2020 and get 15% bonus Velocity Points*. As far as I can tell, the asterix in the terms and conditions don't specify anything different to the...

Multiple week spend offer: Spend $150 in one or more shop during weeks 1 & 2 to unlock week 3 bonus. 1500 points each in weeks 1 & 2, 1750 points in week 3. Absolutely no way I'd ever achieve that kind of spend in one week, let alone three!

Ditto for me. Offers of multiple points for various items - bakery and dairy items (off the top of my head). Also got 1900 points for $115 spend.

I got spend $60 for 2000 bonus Flybuy points. Valid Wednesday 15 January to Friday 17 January 2020.

6,000 points for a $100 shop for me. Higher spend required than usual but unsurprising since I spent more than usual in the lead up to Christmas. Probably won't be able to meet the target as still have a well-stocked fridge, although I could look at stocking up on non-perishables.
