    where do the 200 bonus points show up? I can only see the points from the searches deemed to be "real".

    New Qantas Toolbar - Earn Bonus Points just for searching

    Don't think you have to wait. Search for "1 2 3" gives the invalid search message, immediately change to "1 + 2 + 3" and it works OK. I am fine for cookies and various marketing strategies to give me things I am interested in, but it is annoying when a holiday destination we visited 6mnths ago...

    The Qantas Singapore Lounge

    I was there mid last week. Certainly an improvement on before. Great staff and a large sit-down eating area (I had the spicy chicken - very nice!) There seemed to be a large selection of spirits, and I got the impression they would make any coughtail you wanted. The only downside was that there...

    ITA Matrix searching

    I use matrix to help find routing combinations. eg Flying out of Sacramento or Denver and trying to line up with the flights into Aus. Once I have worked out what I want, I am then sufficiently well-armed to do battle with the company process and outsourced travel planner!

    Hilton in Fiji?

    We stayed there a few years ago as family with 2 kids for 2 or 3 nights, before going out to one of the islands. It was very nice, clean, well serviced, etc, but we found it somewhat sterile - there are definitely better places if you have kids. It had great food, with breakfast was right next...

    Another credit card?

    Is it possible to view your own "credit rating" or "application score" (whatever it is called) in Australia?

    Home Network Attached Storage

    And that is why the Whirlpool forum may be a more appropriate location for IT related technical queries! I have been a whirlpool member pretty much since it started, and even though people can be "argumentative", the pool of knowledge and experience is pretty extensive. I did the research there...

    Where to put Hertz points?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but with only a single flight on Virgin brands, I might as well leave it in the Hertz points!

    Where to put Hertz points?

    The corporate I work for has just decided that Hertz is the company to be used for all car hire in Asia-Pacific. Fine, I guess the bean-counters have to emulate progress with occasional changes. But when I signed up to company-organised discount and gold membership - there is no option for...

    Woolworths Qantas card now offers 20,000 QFF [Ends 30/4/13] points

    The Woolworths card does have an annual fee ($89) - is that correct?

    Do Points+Pay fares accrue points and SCs?

    What is the difference between an any seat award (ASA) and points+pay? With my example in the first post, the YASA costs more points than the points+pay, and doesn't appear to provide any additional benefit. Maybe there are other situations where the reverse is true, or there is some other benefit?

    Do Points+Pay fares accrue points and SCs?

    Do Qantas Points+Pay fares accrue points and SCs? This question must have been asked before, but I haven't been able to find the answer. (Maybe you can post a screenshot of the search you put into AFF along with the URL if it has?) Example booking: 1A2C (effectively 3A for the red e-deals)...

    Up to 30000 bonus points with JQ Mastercard

    I called to cancel last night. Service agent couldn't do it and promised a call-back at my preferred time of 9pm. I wasn't very surprised not to receive a call. Rang again today; apparently the daytime operators can cancel the card. No counter offer, no points, nothing except "sorry to hear...

    Noise-canceling headphones + microphone

    The kids have ipods, but that's the only iStuff in our household at the moment...not really an Apple FanBoi!

    Noise-canceling headphones + microphone

    I wonder if this will work with non i-Thingies? The extra "mobile communications kit" has a selection of different connectors, but it doesn't look like any of them will plug into a PC's standard mic and headphones sockets.

    Noise-canceling headphones + microphone

    There are several threads on AFF that talk extensively about noise-canceling (noise-cancelling?) or NC headphones. I think this http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/your-questions/noise-cancelling-headphones-best-quality-36776-8.html is the most recent. I am hoping that you might...

    Battery in checked luggage

    No email response from Qantas yet, and I didn't have time to chase it up. I did find somebody driving though, so I sent it with them instead. So my problem is solved, even if the question remains incompletely answered. Following through the links to CASA provided by Sickeningthud, I also found...

    No, domestic Aus (I forgot to pack it with the other kit going by road) :oops:

    Battery in checked luggage

    I want to take a car battery jump-starter in checked luggage (on a domestic Australian flight). It contains a battery, specifically a sealed lead-acid (SLA, like the ones found in UPSs or alarm systems). The Qantas dangerous goods page Qantas Baggage | Dangerous Goods Information talks about...
