    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    I got 6,500 for 2 x $155 weekly shops. Still annoyed that they have stopped us getting the 10% discount from insurance when we buy groceries online (and double dip each month when buying in-store 🤫)

    Laundry services and experiences while travelling

    This thread triggered me 😞 About 8 years ago I used a laundrette in Surbiton, Surrey UK as my Airbnb didn't have a washing machine. I was sexually assaulted by the manager which resulted in a Magistrate's Court Hearing which was very traumatic for me (and I had to return to the UK as they...

    Amenity kit?

    What's the latest info re Emirates amenity kits in business? Which flights give them (night departure only?) I'm flying MEL-LHR via DXB soon. If they don't give them out on these flights, is it worth asking if they carry spares?

    What time does check in and security open at Melbourne?

    Good question! I think this is the first international flight of the day so shouldn't be too busy at security. I'm on that flight in a couple of week's time too. I am being picked up from home at 3.30am to arrive at 4.30am (hopefully empty roads). I hope to have enough time to check in, drop...

    I have a British and a NZ passport and am not a citizen or PR in Australia so this is an option I'm considering.

    Had mine (AZ) on Saturday. Very well organised at my GP surgery in Melbourne (also open to non-surgery patients). Sore arm and general achiness for 24 hours. All good now. Only complaint was no lolly or 'I've had my vaccine' sticker 😉

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    I am getting more depressed by the day. Although I'm not an Australian citizen, I hold NZ and British passports, I could probably get to the UK but the risk to get back makes it almost impossible. I missed my father's funeral in the UK in April last year and looks like I'll miss his stone...
