Does that mean, for example, getting $36 worth of food and drink at one of the restaurants and then heading off to a lounge?

Of course. They do not fly F cabins from Brisbane.

After a spate of rejections in November/December (Virgin, Citi Loan and Amex) I was dreading my next Citi application. Happily I was approved for this Prestige card the same day I fired in the application. The annual fee is eye watering, but I have a number of flights coming up in the next 12...

They have increased the lock out times for the home and car insurance to 12 months from six. Is not so long ago that the lock out was only two months.

Correct. It was a quite specific and unplanned circumstance. That's why I think it must be rare for one milestone to trigger the next one.

This one amused me. Yesterday I received ~104,000 points as a lump (my latest credit card sign up bonus plus monthly spend). This left me about 200 points short of renewing my PC+. This morning, I received my 2,500 point milestone bonus for passing 250,000 points. This tipped me over into...

Can anyone advise on the Customer Reference Number for making BPAY repayments to Bank of Melbourne? It should be visible on statements but my first statement has not yet been issued. Is it just the card number?

That statement is dated 14 May. Given that everyone knows Bonza has folded, I imagine updating their website is no longer a priority (even if they had the staff to do it, which they don't).

There will be very few Flybuys points whales who have never switched on auto-transfer. The bonuses for switching it on have never been fantastic and even a 15% bonus for every single point hardly seems worth holding out for. Even if you had a million Flybuys that would only net you an extra...

Apologies - I was attempting humour. Of course it is phishing spam.

Are we sure about that?

You can get around it by factoring in a 24 hour stop or booking the two flights on separate redemptions. If you go for the former option then you may get lucky with a schedule change allowing you to renegotiate the flight times to eliminate the stopover.

Just like their creditors who are also going Toulouse.

You will have to pay change fees each time. 5,000 points per person per change. But you have zero chance of being able to book this as a oner.

I don’t think this is really necessary. You are going to have to book flights as they are released and amend your itinerary several times. Just book the first flights in line and then add more flights by phoning up. It’s not as daunting as people say. I would also have a think about how you’re...

According to Wikipedia, Port Hedland has a population of 15,000. Could that sustain an unsubsidised air route to anywhere?

It would want to be for a $1200 annual fee.

I have a current booking to get to Havana mixing two redemptions and a revenue flight - with the only stopover being two nights in AKL. The convoluted route was necessary as I am travelling over Christmas 2024: MEL-SYD-AKL-HKG-KUL-BKK-HEL-LHR-MIA-HAV - that's 9 flights with seven airlines (QF...

In a similar vein, can it be arranged for people to post anonymously in this thread so they don’t have to reveal themselves to be snobs?

I really don’t see anything wrong with it. If there are enough middle seats there’s no guarantee one will be next to you - unless you pay. It’s just like if people didn’t choose seats then someone would end up in the extra legroom seat by chance - but letting people pay extra guarantees it will...
