buying points

This is a first .. anybody know why, 20 mins ago, I would be required to show my passport and boarding pass to buy a bottle of grog at Syd Int’l duty free ? Showing one’s BP is fair enough - to confirm overseas destination etc., but why does Heinemann need my passport as well ? The checkout...

Hi all, got a bunch of five dollar gift card scratchies from previous Jetstar flights this year. It states it’s only redeemable on jetstar.com/giftcards but when you login on, website appears to be empty? T’s&c’s on card states valid until 8 August.

I always like to have about $200 worth of a country's currency when I land there. But I can't find anyone selling Qatar money in Australia. A Google search says Travelex have it, but it's not an option I can click on when I go to their site. And I couldn't get the money from Westpac or...

Hi all! I'm planning to travel from Melbourne to London on 2nd Nov return 23rd Nov 2018. Not planning to use points but hoping to get the best value. Best price is with Royal Brunei and none of the other flights seem give enough points to make paying the extra worthwhile (I looked at Southern...

Think this a new inclusion to the Qantas website? Looks to have particular rules: Only accepts Visa/Mastercard online - others still have to call the Frequent Flyer Service Centre Can only purchase up to 25% of points balance (to the nearest 500 point interval). Maximum 60k points per purchase...

When I ask recently, I mean in the last 4 months. I purchased from Epiqure a few years ago and bonus points posted 24 hours later but the website now indicates it can take up to 6 weeks (which is the usual Qantas line). Anyone had a recent experience?

Definitely points collection has been assisted by this forum. Oddest thing Have paid two funerals and plots on card(my parents) My father would have got a significant kick out of us acquiring points from his funeral and subsequent burial Have to say didn't realise how expensive funerals etc...

Did anyone else receive this offer? It might be targeted as I can't find any information about it on the flybuys or Velocity websites.

I haven't used the Qantas Mall for a while as I was using the Velocity mall for the past 4 months. I have finally gone back to Qantas's Mall and have made 3 purchases from Ebay a few days apart. In the past I used to get an email from Qantas acknowledging the purchase but I have not received...
