Late last month I stayed in an Australian Accor property(5 star property starts with S). All was good(even issued us 3 Welcome Drinks vouchers and wrote 2 adults 1 child on it on check in) except for 1. the lack of room upgrade despite lots of availability, but this does not bother me much, and...

If you are not interested in their merchandise using points redemption, perhaps take a hit and transfer to Virgin Velocity?

Same here. I like the drinks vouchers and would go out of my way to secure more if I believe I am entitled(under T&C) to more. You are so lucky in getting someone who works in 5 star hotel making a rookie mistake of not writing the expiry date. I never got one single voucher without the expiry...

I believe that you can stack the return for free fare with a child for free fare. This means that if an adult and an accompanying child are travelling together they just collectively pay $21.9 for the two return tickets, if you book before end of this month. However, I think the child for free...

Yes it's a bit awkward but that's the only way to stand a chance of getting the Welcome Drinks vouchers on the second night under a different name. The vouchers need to be redeemed at hotel restaurant so the vouchers are quite useful when we dine at the hotel restaurant. Telling them at the end...

Yes the Welcome amenity alone like the cheap $10 wine(which I won't drink anyway)/fruit/chocolate is not worth my effort. But the Welcome Drinks vouchers are different as we usually dine at the hotel restaurant and the additional two Welcome Drinks vouchers are worth $25 off our dinner bill so...

For me,usually the welcome amenity would be some fruit or couple of pieces of chocolate/cake +/- a bottle of $10 cheap wine.

My unhappy transport experience was in BKK more than a decade ago(before I know how to use Google Map on my phone😅). Used the airport taxi in official way(buy and got ticket etc) going to our hotel near Siam Paragon. Got onto taxi and as soon as the driver left the terminal, he covered the...

I do this a lot of the time at various hotels other than Fairmont Singapore. I found that if Welcome drinks/Welcome amenity is important to you, then better be unlike dairyfloss's suggestion of linking the bookings, in fact, don't let the hotel knows that the two bookings are related. Then...

I think when you try to book the second Stay Plus credit on the same night(even at different hotel) the website will inform you that you have already used one Stay Plus night credit on the day(or something along that line) and decline your ability to book again for that same day using Stay Plus...

We arrived at Bali last week on the morning of 14/2/2024.......right on the day that we had to pay Bali tourist tax:(. We applied for/paid the eVOA and the Bali tourist taxes online. On arrival at DPS reasonably long queue for those passengers who presumably did not pre-pay for their eVOA...

Yes I work on 5% discount after taking into account the $5 activation fee. So I could afford one card to be scammed for each round of 20 cards(over 4 Flybuys accounts) that I purchase and I'll come out even(or near). If I get all the cards working then I come out in front. I work on this basis...

@burmans I get few letters from AusPost as well. Maybe I should go and ask for the exact price of redirecting mail but I get the feeling that it will cost 3 figure sum for the duration I'm away. @Lat34 Thank you for your suggestion. I tried this trick(only check 5 cards and then close and open...

@burmans I think redirecting mail for more than 2 months has an eyewatering cost too. @FlyingFiona I did try to check balance again a few hours later but the cards were still locked. I agree with you, I don't think the cards were compromised. But the phone agent had already locked all the 15...

Thanks @Dr Ralph for your suggestion. For the previous single card scammed in June, I rang and emailed them every fortnight after the email confirming their approval to issue replacement card. No reply to my emails and the phone agents just kept raising tickets and bluffed me off each time until...

Hello all, I would like to ask for some opinion/experiences and sharing my experience regarding the latest promotion of the Coles Mastercard gift cards. I bought 20 of $100 gift cards(over 4 Flybuys accounts). I found that I could not use any one of them, and also can't check the balance on the...

From memory, the complimentary upgrade and breakfast vouchers are only for use in Indonesia but the birthday cake voucher can be used throughout Asia.

Thanks Happy Dude for confirming that I am on the right. This makes me feel better as that means I didn't wrongly accuse the manager on duty of wrong interpretation of the T&C.

I asked two different The Good Guys checkout staff and both told me they will only accept a maximum of 10 gift cards per transaction. There are some cards that have a maximum of higher than $50 limit per card. The current Coles promotion "Home" cards(at 15% discount at present) are mostly $50...

Thank you for all your replies. It was Coles Aspley Hypermarket. I think neither the self-checkout machine nor the Coles store would recognize the address of Flybuys card, they can only recognize the Flybuys numbers of each transactions. I believe Flybuys and Coles are two separate entities...
