    Maybe my best travel advice - virtual mobile for SMS

    When i'm overseas I'll generally buy a local sim and swap out my Aus SIM for that one temporarily, so I can get data cheaper than what I'd get from my normal telco.

    Maybe my best travel advice - virtual mobile for SMS

    This looks excellent. I should have come to the forum when I had the issue in the first place. I’m going to migrate to this service I think.

    Maybe my best travel advice - virtual mobile for SMS

    I don't see Australia in the list of providers in AWS when you request a number. Wonder why i didn't look at this in the first place... I remember going to look at SMS gateways but there was some limitation that I don't remember now that stopped it from working the way I wanted. I think you...

    Maybe my best travel advice - virtual mobile for SMS

    About a year ago I started digging to find a solution to just about every website (of importance) wanting to send me an SMS to log in. I never want to be overseas using a different SIM on my phone and not be able to access my banking, or Qantas, or whatever due to not having the ability to...

    AMEX Platinum Charge Benefits - Q&A

    Not sure what to search for in this thread, so apologies if it’s been discussed. How long does it take for offers to appear in the app or on the website? For example the dining credit offer for enrolment hasn’t appeared after 5 days, I have no offers at all. Am I just being impatient?

    Two Questions - QF Gold and Amex Points to PCP

    Yeh - I'd love to but i'm about 240SC away from Gold. Not going to make it before the end of September in an affordable way. Unless you can share some magic Business class return flight that'll make up the difference for about $1400.

    Two Questions - QF Gold and Amex Points to PCP

    Hi all, hoping you can answer two questions for me. I’m trying to figure out how to get to Gold or Points Club Plus. If I make it to Gold through status credits does access to the lounge include a guest? Regarding PCP, if I transfer points from Amex to QF do those points count towards point...

    Accor Plus Membership Discussion

    I’m interested in the Amex Platinum card, which include Accor+, but I’m struggling to find any information on the AccorPlus site around cruise deals. They state it as a benefit, however I’m wondering if anyone can share any experience with cruise deals they’ve been able to get through the Accor+...

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    Can someone explain what the protocol is here please? If I wanted to guest someone into the QF lounge, for example, exactly how would that person identify themselves to me? Do I need to pretend they're an old friend? Does it ever get questioned by staff?

    Detailed Seat Plan

    Hi - I'm on a QF MEL > BNE tomorrow and have a row 13 exit row (which, oddly I wasn't charged for when I picked the seat earlier this morning). Does anyone know if these seats have a fixed armrest that restricts the width of the seat, or is it a standard armrest? And where would I go to find out...

    Qantas Boeing 787-9 - Row 59 (Limited Recline?)

    Hi Wondering if anyone has sat in row 59 of a QF 787-9? Seatguru says it has limited recline; however, I was under the impression that last row seats don't have that problem anymore (in newer aircraft anyway). Is anyone able to confirm for me whether these seats have limited recline? Thanks

    QF Classic Rewards flight change options

    We’ve been working with an agent now for about 70 mins on the phone. Hopefully, they’ve identified that unless time travel is invented before January that the options they’ve presented to us are not possible. This agent seems more competent and making noises like there’s room for movement...

    QF Classic Rewards flight change options

    We booked 2 economy classic reward seats from Melbourne to Miami for Jan 27 2023, at the time of booking (a few months back) the best option available was Melbourne > Dallas > Austin > Miami.
