    Advice on VPN

    I have Express VPN and signed up to Amazon Prime Video through a US location. I want to start watching Bosch season 6 which just started in the US but not in Australia for probably 6 months. There are other shows that look appealing as well not on the Australian site. The US site knows I am...

    Amex not able to take payment or answer calls

    I haven't been able to look at my points account on the Amex site so got onto the chat function and "spoke" to someone pretty quickly. As far as payment goes no problem from my bank using Bpay.

    I got the same email in January and rang to say my address hasn't changed. The guy said the change of address email meant my application had been approved!! 🤔🤔

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    I only just read this but it may be worth following up with a class action currently going on. A real long shot but maybe you can do some research. I had a policy with Colonial Mutual in the 1980's and the class action is around the company not investing in a manner that was in the clients best...

    Virgin Australia Financially Secure? [Now in Voluntary Administration]

    Interesting. I transferred all mine to SQ last night which I was 95% sure of doing with or without CV. Just checked and transfer link is still there.

    Credit Card Offers Qantas Premier Platinum: Up to 80,000 bonus Qantas Points

    I'm retired so credit cards are harder to get now but I was approved in late December and the process was not too long. I've had this card before and just went over the 12 months wait but I wanted the 120,000 bonus points and 1:1 earning rate. I really don't like dealing with Citi as they can...

    Why does Qantas still have these flights on their website?

    I like the control as well. It's a bit harder though when its not you and yours. Personally I've never used a TA for bookings.

    Why does Qantas still have these flights on their website?

    They are near Mandurah and a Flight Centre is 5 minutes away so they can go in person. The problem is they are not confident enough to book directly online. If things cant be sorted I will offer to do the bookings for them. I suppose booking through a travel agent could be an advantage if...

    Why does Qantas still have these flights on their website?

    Domestically there are paid flights shown on Jetstar, Google Flights and HBA airport website for tomorrow (25/3) for MEL - HBA but Flight Centre saying nothing at all that day. My brother and his wife are in Perth for funeral of close relative having left well before this all escalated. They...

    Happy to help out in Hobart & surrounds. I'm retired so time usually no problem.

    Top Three Holiday Photos

    Looking at some of the other photos I feel very inadequate but as an amateur I have taken enough to get some right I think. These are from 2017 in Italy and Greece. Pompeii. I'd love to know what he's thinking about the world today. Capri. Probably my proudest moment as a photographer (I'm...

    A chance to reminisce - who remembers the "old days" of Travel?

    I was born in Hobart and my mother came from Sydney so we had lots of trips in the 50's and 60's on TAA to see the grandparents. I remember the badges the hosties would give us and it seemed every time they would take us into the coughpit to chat to the pilot. I still to this day say hello to...

    Over 1 million Australians have a credit card that earns Qantas points

    Same here. I swore off using QF but then realised I couldnt ignore the nearly 200,000 points still there so now have 2 cards - 1 for QF points and the other for Krisflyer and I take it in turns to churn. The plan on the next overseas trip is to use QF one way and SQ the other.

    Krisflyer J Availability not showing on Award Hacks SAS

    Looking at flights from JFK - SYD in December 2020 there is availability in J showing on Singapore Airlines but same day only in Economy on Award Hacks. Maybe it's my search criteria but anyone have any thoughts?

    SQ Availability when using Velocity Points

    Now that information is worth banking for future use!

    SQ Availability when using Velocity Points

    Agreed, found this on Velocity site: "*The conversion will be calculated at a rate of 1.35 Velocity Points to 1.00 KrisFlyer Mile when transferring Velocity Points to KrisFlyer. When transferring KrisFlyer Miles to Velocity, the conversion will be calculated at a rate of 1.35 KrisFlyer Miles to...

    SQ Availability when using Velocity Points

    Happy to be corrected here but wouldn't the conversion rate be 1.35 KF to Velocity and 0.65 from Velocity to KF?

    SQ Availability when using Velocity Points

    I've recently been looking at J reward seats to the US on both Krisflyer and Velocity as I am building my points balance up for 2021. There is no doubt that award seat availability is much better on SQ than VA unless you can use a million points with Velocity. I'm about to close my Westpac...

    New Ultimate Awards card (uncapped till May 2020)

    True, I should have made the distinction between sign on points rather than spending points.
