Has anyone experienced issues with crediting of BA flights? I took two flights last month which never posted and I have submitted claims online for the missing points and status credits. The earlier claim has already gone well past the 14 days since I submitted it, and the status of the claim...

I liked their ad campaign from a few years ago....

I can understand that - I have been United-free since 2008. While I'm not quite as vehement as some on FlyerTalk are about them ("I would rather walk or swim than board a United flight again" is one signature I have seen), there are far better places to direct my travel dollars.

The story of @andydj should have the alarms flashing DEFCON 5 at Qantas HQ. Rebooking 48 business class flights to do international transits in the USA??? On United??? Oh, the humanity...! That said, I am currently in hour 3 on hold with Medibank regarding travel insurance, my call has been...

For what it's worth, Diners Club isn't listed as an option on Qantas' Cards and Banking page as I write this: [removed link - appears to have nasty tracking cookies attached when coming from AFF]

I think you are right. The number of ICU beds they have in the whole country limits their ability to "let it rip". Thanks for the tip, good to know. However, I have given up making ANY flight bookings until there is some certainty about the ability to travel on the flights I book. And with NZ...

My late June flights to NZ which I had rebooked to October have now been cancelled by QF without even the option of rebooking, just moved straight to a flight credit.

It also doesn't cost anybody anything to prepare for the possibility that an 'exception' product such as the fee free for life Signature card is not transitioned over. The "for life" is always the life of the product, not the life of the member. I understand the business sense this would make...

I suspect it is a business trade off they considered: 1. Losing the business of those who refuse to be vaccinated; or 2. Losing the business of those who refuse to fly an airline which doesn't mandate pax vaccination. I suspect the dollars (and sense) thankfully landed on losing the former and...

Credit cards: I had a "fee free for life" card in the US which was part of a portfolio acquired and migrated to a different product. And it doesn't even take an acquisition to change the terms, the fee free for life Macquarie Hilton Visa dropped its benefits when Macquarie and Hilton decided to...

I have experiences where credit cards, online share traders and margin lenders I have used have been acquired and a year or two later, one of the key reasons I was using them was taken away by the acquirer. In NAB's own investor presentation...

Agree. For me, Big 4 = Definite No Way.

Another triple points offer, but given that I still haven't been able to take the bookings I made months ago, I'm not booking any further flights let alone holidays until the vaccination rollout catastrophe ends are there is a little more certainty. Our favourite Aussie destinations are...

With the temporary suspension of the NZ travel bubble, my flights to New Zealand were cancelled and I was automatically rebooked. I want to change those to flights on future dates which would work, but when I click "Change", an Error message comes up with: The system is temporarily unable to...

Sadly it appears so. The "it's not a race" mantra means Australia is dead last amongst the OECD. The number of people who tell me they will wait to get it because they don't feel there's any hurry drives me up the wall. Compelling all workers involved in the quarantine system to be vaccinated...

All aged care workers were supposed to be vaccinated in the first six weeks after the vaccine rollout started in February. Now we are almost in July and two thirds of workers remain unvaccinated, and now the goal is September. To refer to those running this as a clown car show disrespects the...

I - and many I know - have given up on booking domestic vacations until something gives in this regard. Things would change if those vaccinated are exempted from the border schizophrenia. Even better, if you are eligible for a vaccination, you are only allowed on a flight if you've had at...

This needs to be known much more widely. Vaccine hesitancy should reduce when these facts become more widely known

I'm sure some of this pressure is coming from business. Anyone who has overseas operations has been unable to be on the ground for over a year now.

At the moment, trying to recruit anyone in a field which traditionally relied on expats to fill roles - engineering, technology, accounting, finance, marketing etc - is crazy. I know of consulting firms turning around offer letters the day after a first interview in the hope they lock in a...
