    Qantas Wine latest offering

    I just noticed there was a caret next to the 'Spend and earn'. Scrolled down to see this: It would appear that they don't add the bonii immediately as it is possible another purchase during the offer period may trigger a bonii step-up, taking into account total spend. So all should be good.

    1. Experienced the deplorable deterioration in the QF J experience to the 'new normal'... :mad: :p 2. Been on the last AN flight out of MEL to PER on the night it went bust while we were in the air in September 2001, while sitting in 1A with no catering and staring at the staff who were going...

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    OK - I'll watch for a separate bonus. It just seems odd that they would promote the 'Shop more, earn more points' but not immediately add the bonii to an order that met the criteria. But, hey, it is QF IT... :rolleyes:

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    It's not a phone order. It's the current 'Shop more, earn more Qantas points' (1000 for $200 spend, 3000 for $300, 5000 for $500 and 10000 for $1000), that currently headlines the webpage. I was assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that this what what @prozac was referring to.

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    Did your order show the extra 5K bonus points for $500 spend? I spent $540 on two cases with 10K bonii each, but the receipt only showed 20K + the CC+PCP as the points earn.

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    IMO, good, but not great - but that opinion of mine applied to all the wines. Apart from a steady, fairly shallow, age profile development, they all had quite similar characteristics, although the 2023 Soul Growers was much the lightest, but rather delicious with it. To me, none had that...

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Last night's pinot tasting 2023-2014. All sound wines. A couple of late withdrawals and with @Daver6 away, which at least saved us from his recent offerings of corked wines :rolleyes:, we had only six people attend. IIRC WOTN was, after two countbacks complicated by the even number of...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Not that I'm aware of. I thought that was what BWS was for. The WW that I use has a BWS next door. They used to have an opening between them, but now the perspex roller shutter is always closed.

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    OK, online chat was painless and quick. The bot couldn't understand my query, so I got flicked to a human. It turns out that the bonus offer was for buying $40 worth of liquor online at Woolworths, not BWS. I didn't even know that Woolworths sold liquor. o_O Anyway, the agent could see how...

    Don't worry if you don't live in Perth; I'm sure you all have your own versions of Armadale... ;)

    That damn Kid with his gratuitous comments again... :mad: :mad: :mad: All I did was buy a few Italian white quaffers. Absolutely no respect for his elders - and, what is actually worse, someone has no shame in identifying as gen X 😲🤪:eek::eek: But all is not lost - I'll schmooze over a pinot...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    A couple of weeks ago I received an offer of 2000 bonii for a $40 online wine order from BWS. I'm sure I boosted it, but the bonii have not appeared - now well after the 5 business days quoted in the T&Cs. Is there a simple way to query the status of this?

    What cheeses me off

    That's not the main problem. The drivers often pull in sufficiently for the steps to be quite close to the kerb, but just not quite far enough forward and just not quite straight enough to prevent the very rear corner of the bus protruding into the traffic lane, when there is usually a bit more...

    What cheeses me off

    WCMO is busses that don't pull another metre or so into bus bays to be fully parallel to the kerb, leaving the right rear corner of the bus hanging into the traffic lane.

    Faaaark, I thought I was OCD. No. 😜

    Target: The Red Centre

    There is a drone show. We could see it in the distance at the Sounds of Silence dinner. They would need to add another night to the tour to include the drone show. Going OT, but if you have not seen one, drone shows can be amazing, as we discovered at Vivid in Sydney last year where 1000...

    Target: The Red Centre

    An update to the ASP aircraft storage, courtesy of The Australian this evening. It answers some puzzles that I had. It's paywalled, so I'll snip out key bits. And this explains the origin (of at least one) and fate of of the disguised and dismembered A380s at the site that so puzzled me...
