    Thoughts on North Face Rolling Thunder 28"?

    Status Points from 2 Oneworld member Airlines

    Yup. Fair enough. Baggage allowance is usually not too much of an issue for us (we try to do carry on only for most trips).

    Status Points from 2 Oneworld member Airlines

    Cool (and thanks!). If this works, might give Qantas the flick sooner....

    Status Points from 2 Oneworld member Airlines

    In a similar vein...I currently hold WP/OWE status with QF, but see no reason to continue to give Qantas my money after I hit LTG. (cos f#$% Qantas).

    No. Haven't pulled trigger yet. Need to sort out address first.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks. I agree the $550 USD AF is steep, but my partner and I do use the Hilton chain when we travel, so the diamond status is worth it. (occasional upgrades and access to exec lounge etc)

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Agree re: HSBC being painful to deal with. It took my partner and I several months to set up a joint Everyday Global Account (mainly for travel purposes) - mainly because we live in the NT and could not simply pop into the local branch to jump through the various hoops.

    Baggage pieces allowed for economy?

    Lulz. Did the tweezers make it in one piece?

    Qantas forgot to deduct points?

    A colleague of mine apparently shared a name with someone from Cricket Australia and ended up getting a whole bunch of status credits credited to their FF account.

    How phenomenally rude!

    Didn't expect this to be my breaking point, but it finally came!

    This goes back quite a few years, but I had to go down the NCAT route for a refund. They called me 24hrs before hearing to offer refund on proviso that I dropped charges.

    I have had two recent negative experiences with Jetstar....I actively try and avoid it nowadays.

    Scams like these

    Safe to assume it is a scam. However, no harm in ringing up the clinic/hospital where the referral was made to make sure?

    When I just have to make do - a Pi to the rescue

    Nicely done. The pi generally has enough grunt for most regular tasks.
