Thanks for organising it. I’ll be there 👍

There is no merit in that 'story' as a justification to declare ACT a hot spot. As part of arrival into QLD, one needs/needed to show ID. They could have easily restricted arrivals from ACT to ACT residents (verifiable via their driver license for example).

Yep, a 'hot spot' with zero active cases for longer than any other state or territory including QLD :rolleyes:

Regardless of how legit the email looks and/or how many of the links in the email point to legit sites, never EVER use the information in the email to reach back. ALWAYS use direct/publicly available contact details to contact the company.

Hi there, I am not sure if I can help with the flying part of the problem you're facing, but I am also Canberra based and I am always happy for a coffee, lunch or dinner. Give me a yell if you like someone to talk to, or someone to listen to...

I did manage to get in last week; wasn't a long wait either.

If a bank does something unethical, I am not obliged to reciprocate; I try to be the best *I* can be. Having said that, I think most (all?) banks have more or less the same policy (i.e. points forfeited if not transferred out before or within a set period after closing the account). I have...

I am sorry if it came across as 'personal'; I was just making a generic comment. Talk to AmEx, maybe?

The same way I expect to get my points when I close an account, I feel obliged to give the points back when closing an account (if negative points balance). I don’t care what anyone might tell you, I view closing an account with negative point balance, and keeping the points, not quite ethical...

(To me,) looks like your BNE-LON fare was $2259.88 and your LON-BNE was also $2259.88. The only difference between the two legs of the trip, therefore, would be the applicable taxes and fees at either starting points of the trip. For the BNE-LON trip you were charged the applicable charges in...

Now, that would be logical, wouldn't it? But I've come to expect anything but logical these days...

Totally not related to this thread... but I just noticed your handle on AFF: "SUDO-er". Gave me a chuckle; love it! :-)

Same. I was about to pull the trigger and book the flights I wanted just a few nights ago, but then I thought I'd do that the following day. Now all the flights have disappeared. So, I might just bite the bullet and book with QF, even though their timing is far less favourable than the VA...

Given the forum hierarchy, I would assume VA. To answer the OP, I was looking for flights a couple of days ago and there were plenty of VA flights in and out of CBR mid- to late-July (that is the timeframe I was looking at). Edit: I just double-checked and there is NONE available! They must...

I have been using it for the past 2 years or so and it generally works fine. I have used it in Australia, Europe, UAE and Bahrain. I have it on my Laptop, iPhone, iPad, and Kodi (on Raspberry PI).

I cannot honestly remember if I visited a St George branch in person, or had my ID checked at the post office. On a related note, for my Bankwest credit card I know I had to visit the post office for ID check (Bankwest does not have any branch where I live).

I cannot answer your question specifically, but I can offer one point you may want to consider: I reckon it does not matter "when" you cancel, as long as you do it before the travel. So, why not wait till closer to the date and see if the flight is going to be cancelled anyway? You will have a...

All three should have the same backend evaluation process. I found (all 3 of) them some of the harshest banks when it comes to extending credit: I have quite a decent income, no dependent, not-a-huge mortgage, not much liabilities, and pristine credit history. I got knocked back by them a...

Thank you. I’ll call them up after the long weekend. Thank you.

No, no indication of who the issuer was. It just says American Express 377749xx_XX I have had a few combo accounts from different banks, but no indication of any link between any of the cards I have ever held. Sure have. They said 377749xx_X is not one of their numbers, and there is no...
