    Virgin CBR-SYD flights restarting

    It would seem that VA has dropped the CBR-SYD reintroduction. Mrs 2905 and I have SYD-PER-SYD flights booked for September, from when we each had an ANZ RTA card. When I looked a few weeks ago VA was showing direct flights, albeit at $199 on non-existent ATR's. Now, everything's via MEL. To...

    Discussion on Cats, Moggies and Felines in general [with Pictures]

    An update on the foster kittens.... Some friends of friends came around to see them during the week, and are going to take Blaze. Karen said that she could've rehomed Gracie a hundred times, if we weren't keeping her. She is so chilled and fits in so well with our existing menagerie. Here are a...

    Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

    Maybe practise some free farting in their general direction?

    Discussion on Cats, Moggies and Felines in general [with Pictures]

    Some photos of our existing feline family; Zara (l) and Bailey (r).... Like most Bengals, Zara likes water.... Whereas this is how Bailey prefers water.... Make of this what you will....

    Discussion on Cats, Moggies and Felines in general [with Pictures]

    We've been fostering dogs for many years, but earlier this year Karen (aka Mrs 2905) suggested we take on a mother cat and six kittens whose time in the Kempsey pound was just about up. (She knows that I'm more of a cat person than a dog person.) Their DOB is 26/1/2021 (Australia Day), we got...

    CBR winter get together at 1800 on 08 June at the Kingo to celebrate us still being here, not there

    Count me out, unfortunately. I'm scheduled to fly to PER that evening.

    <humour> Time to rename the site....

    13 months later, some sections seem to have become Australian Frequent Fighters. :(

    CBR Autumn get together 06 April 2021 to hopefully celebrate the vaccine roll out, if they get their act together

    Count me in. I'm still waiting for Mrs 2905 to check her diary, so she's TBA.

    CBR Spring get together, 16 September ‘20 to hopefully celebrate 2 months clear of Covid.

    Technically, I became a pensioner last October so I guess that makes me an oldie. At this stage, either date works for me also.

    Who else still holds the Citibank Free For Life Premier Card?

    I do, and now it's my primary card. BC (Before COVID), I used to be a regular churner for sign-up bonuses, but now I've given up chasing points.

    Travel to WA

    Qantas still has QF856/7 direct, but you still risk finding yourself in quarantine if things go pear-shaped in the ACT, or if QF reroutes you through somewhere that is later blacklisted. Some people we know flew over from Perth last month for their daughter's wedding in Canberra. They'd booked...

    Cashrewards ending 5% Woolworths gift card discount

    I've resorted to Macquarie Marketplace. Just checked, and still 4% discount for Wish. No opportunity for credit card points, but I've given up on them. It turns out that Mrs 2905 is eligible for an ACT Seniors Card (and has since applied; if nothing else, there's a partial discount to be had on...

    ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure Card

    They did. I tried googling it, but no luck. I also tried the Way Back Machine, but the map doesn't display. I know that from Canberra, only the direct routes (at the time) were on offer; SYD, MEL, ADL, BNE & OOL. There were way more destinations available from SYD and MEL, so we used it for...

    ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure Card

    The main ones are that the cardholder must be the traveller, booked at least 60 days out, and T class fare availability. (Back on page 3, Sludge321 gave a good example of how to use ITA Matrix to check.)

    ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure Card

    When Mrs 2905 and I used our respective cards for a SYD-PER return flight around this time last year, it was possible to upgrade with points, but lousy value. The number of points required was almost the same as a J reward redemption. We've recently booked SYD-PER return again, as far into the...

    CBR Spring get together, 16 September ‘20 to hopefully celebrate 2 months clear of Covid.

    "Dunch" came to mind, so I googled it, and apparently it's a thing.

    CBR Spring get together, 16 September ‘20 to hopefully celebrate 2 months clear of Covid.

    Just a thought...... Have you checked that they'll accept a 6pm booking without kicking us out at 7pm? They have two sittings at present; 5pm to 7pm and 7.15pm onwards.
