@JohnK - get an ABN and register for the VA business program just before your next trip. Spend $2k in the first three months to get pilot gold for three months. Earn 80SCs in that time to get normal gold. I think the guest policy on VA partners is stingy for WP's.

Could you do a delivery order to someone in that week?

I was impressed with food in the BNE intl lounge, some chicken wings in particular. Now wish I had a Priority Pass for these lounges.

Short answer is yes. If you decline all insurance when hiring a car, you're on the hook for the lesser of the excess (six large often nowadays) or the cost of repairs. Using your Amex to pay covers you for that, or up to some amount that'll be close to the excess. The PDS for the insurance...

I once gave the forks to a driver who tooted me as I jaywalked in front of his car in crowded Mort St in Braddon (ACT). He must have watched which bar I went into, then parked, then confronted me in the bar a full 10 mins later. All this whilst wearing a Border Force uniform. He said I...

So would there be an issue taking a six pack of cascade draft cans in carry on from HBA-MEL-CBR? Or should I put it in checked bag?

Based on what you've written, I'd suggest you're covered. Unless they contract those words to create "unforseen dying", which in your case may not be the case, particularly if you suggest it to them. I'd say that's a very mean interpretation and a long bow but it's insurance companies we're...

I'm in the same boat but not sure where is this offer. Is it in the NAB app or email or somewhere else please?

I got this too. Incredibly, it's actually an improvement.

yeah it just feels like there'll be disruptions by irritants for pretty much any notable event anywhere these days, so presumably the Olympics will be no exception. Given that it's France, there's also a higher propensity for serious terrorism. That seems a very large NFZ though. I thought...

MCY has an outdoor area off the departure area. No photos because, in keeping with the theme of the airport, it sucks.

Annoyingly, it's EDR claiming it's their Fair Play Policy that prevents the awarding of more than 30k bonus points. I don't see why I should have to deal with NIB in relation to EDR policy or missing EDR points.

I took out 11 policies in total and received 3 x 10k into my wife's EDR account. I have just been told that there is "Fair Play Policy" which was in play prior to the Feb promo, that limits bonus points to 30k. Presumably per account. On that basis, claims in excess of that amount will not be...

Sydney would be more associated with ambulance lights.

Neither offer status-based pricing IME. The only perk I always get with Hertz is random class upgrades and that's dependent on the location. I usually book a compact SUV size or intermediate and end up in a Subaru wagon or Kluger type. With Europcar, I've been given a Sportage up to a BMW 330...

IIRC there's been virtually no offers for credit cards for quite a while - one in October last year - but charge cards were routinely getting offers. That now also seems to have slowed up more recently, with more "rejections" being reported.

We (2A, 2C) drove across the US last year. Almost always stayed on the city fringes in the chains mentioned above, mainly because parking was an issue. Days Inns were consistently fine, as were Econo Lodges. Best value if we were staying more than two nights was usually AirBnB. DC was the...

....but still give the evil stare anyway.

There are current Amex offers for both these too. 15% off (min $100 spend and uncapped) and $150/$50 respectively. That might sweeten the deal :)

I'm rarely HLO but it does require some thought to make sure it's not in my cabin bag, particularly on the way home. One time I did forget and left it in my cabin bag. Luckily it was ROK so the checkin staff just went and found my checked bag. I'd have been devastated to have it confiscated...
