    MEL taxi scam

    Where do they park? The 1hr free parking isn't intended for people to leave the car at.

    Inflight theft

    Not sure how good they'd be for ANC of bathroom noises which, IME, are complex and has a fairly wide range of frequencies, no doubt a function of the lounge food. There's the head turning high frequency tweet type right down to the worrisome but dreaded low rumbler. Far more difficult to adapt...

    What's behind your AFF user name?

    Happy Dude is Homer Simpson's alter-ego when pulling a telemarketing scam with an auto-dialler. My avatar is the good lord playing the great game. I got banned from using it for my work intranet avatar (apparently "dubious"), even though I said it was (English pro) Tommy Fleetwood (explanation...

    What's behind your AFF user name?

    There is a cafe in Parkes, NSW, with the same name. Any connection, other than coincidence?

    Qantas won’t protect self connections QF-QF (?)

    Just for comparative purposes, a few years ago VA would not through check my bags in CNS for CNS-BNE and BNE-CBR as they were two separate bookings. I can't recall why I booked separately but I haven't done it since, so don't know if they still practice such sh!thousery.

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    Order was $87, 40% would have been more than $30 so I guess so.

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    That worked. But it turns out a bag of potato chips was causing the website to poop itself. Replaced with corn chips and sailed on through, tracking at $30 cap. I wonder if BWS has a web programmer guy that has, ahem, a chip on his shoulder with Smiths?

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    The BWS checkout page won't load up on any device (windows 10 or 11) or browser for me at the moment. I've clicked through SB and put items in the cart but then the wheels spin.

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    This is why I don't bother with reviews from Trip Advisor type sites. They're either written/paid for by the hotel or its competitors. Better to come here. AFF has the planet covered :p

    Flight cancelled - and all because of a wine stain

    I've lived in CBR for 10yrs and haven't seen fog like that at night. I left the office at 7:30pm and my initial thought was that there was a fire. It wasn't any better at 9pm when I got home after shopping. I could barely see more than 50m and the driving conditions were shocking. The fog...

    Retirement Planning & Experiences

    It's called debt recycling I think. I'm not convinced it is as simple as splitting a main residence mortgage for investment purposes (beefed up with equity). There's heaps of spruiking on social media about how easy it is. edit: I see @33kft has also mentioned debt recycling.

    New Amex statement credits

    Re: Dropbox offer Looking to start an account. Does anyone know if it's possible to 'load' up a dropbox subscription using several cards? I wouldn't mind paying a few years subs upfront across a few cards.

    Virgin Australia - Promo Codes (ongoing)

    Seems I was being literal in my interpretation. "this order" refers to a rejected order, not "my order" (that is under investigation). All good and the outcome makes me feel extra lucky.

    Virgin Australia - Promo Codes (ongoing)

    Interestingly, I've been paid "some credit out of goodwill" by SB because they can't appeal the sale with the merchant who haven't provided any update/feedback. So in this instance the cashback came from SB! For interest, here's the wording: "When a Cashback is rejected or our teams do not...

    Virgin Australia - Promo Codes (ongoing)

    To confirm, the bookings were not done with a promo code or during happy hour, or even during a promo of any type (iirc) and clicked through the shopback website on a PC (not app). Both flights were taken without changes. It has not been more than 120 days for either flight. Both tracked but...
