    Making an extra 6000-8000+ points by connecting a step tracker

    One of my kids had a fitbit that they rarely used, so I signed up and attached the thing to my dog's collar. The dog bounds around in excess of 10,000 steps per day...… easiest points I ever earned.

    Christmas Bonus Of Up To 10,000 Velocity Points (2018)

    I thought it was pretty clear? - 900pts redemption to pay, or earn 475pts when purchased with cash? 9 bucks postage is still cheaper than my time and the fuel required in doing 240km round trip to Wilsons Parking - and my better half will use the socks, so no loss there.

    The view from my "office"

    Northern rivers, NSW. Looking across the Tweed Valley towards the town of Murwillumbah, with Mt Warning in the far background. Yes, it is a real office - well.... control room window. You can see the building structure in the foreground. :);)

    NAB Qantas Signature 115k QF points for $395 AF - Pointhacks exclusive

    Me too! Earned my 115K bonus in the July statement. Called NAB yesterday due to my August regular spend points not having been deposited yet - 2 weeks late. They apologised and said it was a known issue this month, and to be patient while they resolved the issue. This morning I woke to find...

    Lack of curtains separating Business and Economy on 737

    Thanks MEL. Apologies if my comment offended. I would like to reiterate that I did say domestic J. And I did say pay. Envy complex? This just reinforces my point. I regularly travel the east coast domestic hops, and I stand by my opinion that to outlay 4x the price for a J ticket on any of...

    Lack of curtains separating Business and Economy on 737

    Who actually pays 4 times the price for domestic J? Anyone who does that must have a severe inferiority complex?

    What is the attraction of lounges?

    I am easily pleased. I love the comfy chair, newspaper, and half-a-dozen schooners pre-flight. :)

    VA cracking down on carry on 7kg limit

    JQ domestic out of Gold Coast yesterday afternoon, and they were checking EVERY carry-on (incl. personal item) as passengers were scanned at the boarding gate - no escaping. Plenty of cranky travellers being pointed to the check-in counter, or given the option of coughing up via CC for the...

    VA cracking down on carry on 7kg limit

    Have another one to add to this as far as work-arounds go. Was flying QF to Sydney today, and wanted a wheeled carry-on for a 3-day stint, so went into the wardrobe and “borrowed” Mrs wrcmad’s carry-on bag. Looked at a very worn and wrinkled JQ weight tag attached to handle and was just about to...

    VA cracking down on carry on 7kg limit

    My stubbornly entitled mother found an easy work-around to this rule on Monday when I accompanied her on a JQ domestic flight out of Sydney. We were sitting at the gate and they were checking carry-on weight for our flight - I carry nothing, so my mother goes over and has her bag weighed while I...

    Annual fee [waived when 'threatening' to cancel?]

    Called to cancel this card during the week as annual fee due in one weeks time, and got a very similar run down of all the benefits. First offer was to halve the annual fee. Second offer was to waive annual fee. Third offer was to waive annual fee + 2000 QFF points credited to my account.

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    3 x $80 spend for 15,000 points. I've been hammering Woolies bonus offers since December, so I guess Coles want me back?
