I've been to the club lounge multiple times and always enjoy the view. The breakfast is nice with your typical a la carte items from an Intercontinental lounge. Reasonable coughtail menu in the evening, with the staff happy to make minor modifications. Overall it sits between Melbourne and...

Usually the points hit when the statement is issued, however my last statement there was a significant delay and the points hit 7 days later. When I called they indicated they can investigate it once 5 business days have passed

Virgin sometimes operate the 737 over the weekend to Broome, but it is often swapped out to an A320. I originally had a J booking on Thursday but since that day was swapped to an A320 I moved my booking to Friday

I can say platinum now that I have a flight from Brisbane, and placeholder reservation at Ibis Styles. I've decided I'd rather not head over to the Eastern States for just a weekend but haven't planned what I'll be doing beforehand yet.

Perth to Broome, had a chicken noodle dish. Decent enough but chicken could have done with some more flavour as the pieces were quite large.

I have used it in Taiwan, however TWD Taiwan Dollars are one of the only currencies I've used that Wise doesn't support so I loaded the equivalent in Australian Dollars. I went to the nearest seven eleven to my hotel which had an ATM fee of $100 ($4.8 AUD) but no withdrawal fee charged by Wise

I've happily used payid through internet banking, so might be worth revisiting that

I didn't get the further 1000 bonus points, maybe these were targeted to those who have been active besides signing up for the initial 5k points

Also Perth based, been to a couple of meetups

This was the message I received

Funny you asked, I received 3 emails on 3 consecutive days with the exact same content

This depends on the cruise line, but the general advice from my last cruise is that by booking with a travel agent you will likely pay the same price. However travel agents have access to 'credits' that can offset some of your onboard spend. I'll be looking to go with a travel agent next time

I see my lounge vouchers from my Westpac credit card at Benefits

Not saying I don't believe you, but does anyone have anything more tangible?

I just applied and received preliminary approval for the Velocity Flyer, it was immediately after selecting the SC bonus so hopefully no problems with eligibility.

I stayed at Hotel Indigo last month, similar to Hotel Indigo in Melbourne it is recently renovated taking it a bit more upmarket than the previous brand. The room is modern and has a more contemporary style than traditional hotel rooms. As I had been downgraded to platinum just before the stay...

I did two mattress runs of one night each last time they did the diamond fast track, well worth it for a couple of staycations. Not sure I can manage 8 mattress runs

Gold, since I missed last year every 2 years seems to be the cadence for me

I'm interested, but ultimately don't think I can meet the required nights within the relatively short timeframe. Would be more achievable if I had upcoming trips that I could rebook with IHG
