Eden Hall 2005 Shiraz - delicious :)

My wife has just taken a couple of flights on Singapore Airlines (booked in December 2017) and I have an upcoming trip (booked in October 2017) Several months ago, I received the e-mail from Velocity about reductions in Velocity Point and SC earning rates for SQ flights, and the Velocity...

They used to credit within 30 days, so CT have given us some insight into why things have changed - QF now won't give us the points until they've got the cash from the retailer. Probably looks better to the beancounters........

I didn't read it to mean that points will credit when you receive the qantas confirmation e-mail, as I usually receive this within 24 hours of the purchase. My take on it was that the confirmation e-mail should still arrive very shortly after the purchase is made and everything will be fine...

I've been chasing some missing points from Charles Tyrwitt shirts, and recently received this: "Qantas have changed their rewarding schedule, and now have the points applied once the commissions are received, rather than 30 days after purchase which was the previous model. In this instance...

Thanks - will check it out (currently on a laptop)

Could someone please confirm whether there's any intention to make a new AFF app available? Many thanks (and apologies if this has already been answered, but a search on variations of "new", "AFF" and "app" were rejected as the search terms were apparently too common)

Soul Growers - 2009 Esperanza (Barossa Valley Cab Sav / Mourvedre blend). Only 750 bottles produced. Took a few minutes to open up after decanting, but now delicious, dark cherries and perhaps plums coming through on the palate, and good length on the finish. Must drink it before this evening's...

Happy to go with that explanation - we haven't knowingly activated and used any offers, but maybe the "Good Faith" bit is a teaser....?

It has been suggested by another member via PM that it could be some type of QFglitch associated with the recent system upgrade. I'm gonna keep schtum and delete the post (if I can...!)

No package travel, or any dispute that would justify a "good faith" points credit; only a couple of AirBnB missing points claims, but they've only just been sent in, and should all be credited to my account rather than hers........

My wife's QFF account was recently credited with 800 "MCO GOOD FAITH BONUS POINTS". All very nice, and I'm certainly not complaining, but neither she nor I have any idea where they came from (no flights taken recently, and only CC points awarded, all of which are separately present and correct)...

A couple of days - more would probably help. Would recommend visiting the Santa Catalina Convent while you're in Arequipa. Can also recommend the Hostal La Hosteria if you're looking for somewhere to stay.

Re: E-rewards: got invited via Accor, participated, got to about 25,000 e-reward poin Yep, still waiting - I redeemed rewards points on 14th June and followed up with E-Rewards on 21st July when they still hadn't posted in my Velocity account (it usually only takes 2 or 3 days). Their reply...

I'm driving for Uber while between permanent jobs; it works for me as a source of beer money ;) I just wish that Uber would sort out some navigation glitches - I've had a couple of problems with their app sending me to the small alleyway at the back of a property rather than to the main road at...

Checking the fine print of your insurance is a must - I checked with AAMI (my then-current insurance company) just before starting to drive for Uber; they specifically said that their "comprehensive" policy did not cover me for ride-sharing, and they would refuse any claim if it came to their...

I'd suggest having a look at Arequipa and the Colca Canyon while you're in Peru. You can get a bus tour to the Colca Canyon from Arequipa, usually involving an overnight stay somewhere near the canyon. It's also worth looking into a prescription for Acetazolamide as this helps minimise the...

Just seen this on AusBT: https://www.ausbt.com.au/star-alliance-is-giving-away-21-million-frequent-flyer-miles A photo competition, with each of the *A member airlines giving away a prize of 1 million miles (or close equivalent)

Rockford Basket Press 2006 (again!) - silky smooth, with some primary fruit still there. Sadly, I've only got one more bottle left....... :( After that, it's on to the 2008 vintage....... :)

I was giving the benefit of the doubt :)
