    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    Nothing booked so far but the bad news is that we usually do! My apologies.

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    I apologise but the dip in the AUD is all my fault. When I am about to embark on a trip and for the duration of the trip it is always weak but then as soon as I return it rallies. I depart tomorrow returning on August 8.

    Fraud on Velocity Frequent Flyer accounts

    This is not true unless VFF IT is completely useless (possible but hopefully not). VFF should be able to see a history of changes so they should be able to see what has changed or restore data from the account from a historical backup.

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Not so far. I understand that is the normal process with the redeemed entry followed a couple of days later by the points entry. Maybe their systems have been affected by the big IT outage. I will wait a few days.

    I don;t think you missed out. Qantas offers don't usually work on QH bookings.

    Anyone noticed that Ampol petrol purchases not earning any points in July? Or is it just me?

    New Amex statement credits

    No Qantas love for me. I didn't expect it on the Velocity Escape cards but maybe I missed out on other cards as used the offer last time.

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    Sounds like my Covid experience when VA cancelled the BNE -HND legs of my SYD - HND return booking and then asked me to confirm that I would still be taking the SYD - BNE - SYD legs.

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    These calculators are hopeless. ‘Modest’ or ‘comfortable’ just doesn’t cut it. AFFers need the ‘extravagant’ calculator that factors in business class airfares and 5 star hotels.

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    You cannot salary sacrifice as much as you want into super. The limit this FY is $30k (2023-4 it was $27.5k).

    Article: Error Fares Aren't the Deal You're Looking For

    I bought an error fare on November 8 2016 on Virgin Australia website - Y fare from Sydney to London return on SIA for A$761. Early the following morning I also snagged Sydney - Guangzhou return in Y on VA website for Mrs SS on SIA for A$281. I vaguely remember that SIA had loaded fares...

    Article: Qantas Pleased with Classic Plus Uptake

    Perhaps Qantas should have just said they are revamping 'Points plus Pay' providing better value than the previous iteration. That would have been a marketing winner and we wouldn't be debating the devaluation of CR into CR+.
