I came back in a week ago (see New TRS rules? Goods no longer included in cap?) and ticked yes to Q3 on the IPC (as well as yes to the wilderness / farms question - I'd been in both). They were pretty keen on the biosecurity issue with foot and mouth. I was asked about Q3 at the final gate - I...

I made two TRS claims on the way out a couple of weeks ago - both over $900: $1600 and $905. Family of four: Myself and my wife (50s) and my parents (80s). I made one claim ($1600), my mother the other ($905). I was asked if I was re-importing and I said yes, but I was going to combine limits...

Replying to this really quite late - but I'm checking this out as I'm about to fly OS. Here's the yet another answer from ABF: Personal goods The following personal goods are free from duty and tax personal clothing and footwear (excluding fur apparel) articles for personal hygiene and...

Seems like a no-brainer then if you've saved it but not used it! I had a $495 slap up dinner for $46.50 by stacking this with the Mid Week Melbourne 30% rebate deal. 30% of $495 is $148.50 rebate, and $300 back from Amex meant I was out of pocket $46.50.

No, but it did take ages for my in restaurant credit to come through. Are you worried you haven't earned the credit, or checking first? I thought the T&Cs were dine in or order from their online delivery / pick up services?

Not recently. The best I can offer is about three years ago we walked past Quay restaurant in Sydney a day or two after they re-opened after a three month renovation late afternoon. Not expecting much I stepped inside, as lunch service was wrapping up, and as politely as I could said "I'm...

I'm amongst many trying to work out what to do in terms of keeping / renewing my platinum card. I'm about to cancel a hotel booking that used my $450 credit (as I will be stuck in lockdown), hopefully I can re-use this before it expires. I used to see value in the AFR subscription and don't...

Yeah, the Australian is a deal breaker for me - and would be on value alone, aside from my distaste for their editorial values. I'll capture my remaining travel benefits, see what retention if any they offer ahead of renewal, and happily cancel if not.

Spent 30 minutes on hold this morning before dropping off for a meeting. Very annoying.

Anyone else seen this? Can't change an Economy X seat online? VA Platinum. Booked through CTM, auto-allocated 3D and 3C - which I'd normally be happy about, but preference in these COVID times is 3A or 3F - both of which are free. Try to change online - shows me 3A is free, allows me to...

Does travel Yeah, it does. This year 37 days away, before it all ground to a halt, and my rules for next year will change (again) as a result of WFH since late Feb. For a few years, I was average 150-160 nights away from home and given that there are only 184 mid-week nights a year...

Read the T&Cs: Members who have logged into the Qatar Airways mobile app in the last 6 months will not be eligible for the bonus Qmiles

Really good to know. I booked a trip to Iceland (SIA, SAS between CPH and KEF) with stopovers in Copenhagen and Singapore on the way home. Tried a couple of well known brands in AU that promise to price match as well as a bunch of online TAs and the airlines direct, but the best the well known...

Just got Platinum. I had to resend documents (I'd sent two monthly email statements, and advice of renewal of platinum to April 2021, was requested to send "statement" that I see when I log in to Velocity and membership showing expiry, so sent expiry date from my digital card). Email...

No, I paid around $2400 back in 95 for lifetime QC membership. Or, more to the point, my company did. Was an FBT exempt benefit at the time. I don't think you could ever buy a certain FF level of membership. $500 is roughly what a single year of QF club would cost. No, it turned up...

Here's what shows up when I sign in - interesting, they've put an end date on my QF lifetime membership so it's actually only 53 years since purchase. I might have to complain. I'll still be a sprightly 81 year old then :) 1589941461 I do (but I'm not the OP :))

And I don't carry either card, of course :) I think, from memory, that boarding passes will show QF CLUB LTS or similar - enough that your boarding pass will scan you into a lounge. I haven't had much call for QF since work switched to VA a few years back, but looking forward to having QF club...

I'm also a lifetime QF member (also purchased in 95) (and also LTS). Same QF number, two cards.

Yes (but very little, and very small), and I packed it in my backpack and hung things like headphones, water bottle, jacket on the outside on the return journey.

Yes, I have priority pass, but, as far as I can see, the KAL / Skyteam lounge doesn't open until 9am. I've only got three hours - if I wait 90 minutes for *A or KAL to open, I'm then going to be rushing to make my flight. I think I'll just remain grubby (and plan better next time - AA / US...
