Agree that $500+ is far from nearly free, considering the time and effort required. I believe Hong Kong is currently deluged with visitors from the mainland which takes a shine off the experience. I have many fond memories of Hong Kong but will give this a miss.

What is only effective 21 days into new membership year?

It's not a big or busy airport. Jetstar allows about an hour for the transits to Japan. I think you should be fine for 7.30am barring a long delay... that's what I would do.

Can you double dip? I achieved green tier last year. Can I repeat this year for another swag of points?

OK! Thanks so much! The start of this thread suggested otherwise. I'll be well under $900 all up so no worries. Any ideas on foodstuffs I may have problems with bringing in? I'm stocking up on French goodies in Noumea. Are things like pate and cheese OK if they are produced in France and the...

OK I'm confused. I'm going overseas for a week soon and have bought some perfume locally thinking I could claim GST back. I have the correct paperwork. If the perfume is new and unopened on departure but I bring it back with me opened and used, I need to declare it and repay GST? ☹️

Yes I was surprised to see I still have Gold until year end. I've dropped to Silver with Virgin in the meantime, so happy to hang on to Oneworld Sapphire :)

I haven't been shopping at Coles last few months and offers have really dropped off... nothing to entice me back it seems! With the increased grocery prices you'd think they'd make more of an effort.

Well that's disappointing. RRP on the winemaker site is $20, not $25. Might have to cancel that one :(

I'm hoping it's the Riposte but it sounds like a wine I'd like. Alcohol matches and $25 is closer to RRP for Riposte than Sidewood. Not such a great bargain but Pinot Noir is what I needed.

Thanks! Very interesting.

Do tell???

I had the foresight to book Qantas Rewards flights last year when they were offering 30% off points 😀

What did you bring back from Geant?

Thanks for your report! I'm going myself mid-May, spending a week and dividing my time between Noumea and Ile des Pins.

Really the layover is usually short. You have to collect and recheck baggage, customs etc. Or do you mean to stay over a day or two? I loved day trip to Daintree... a long drive but so ancient and remote.

Thanks. Will give it a miss.

So sorry! Grenache 2021 – Black Market Deal #43128

Does anyone have any ideas about the Black Market Grenache? My last mystery grenache from VM was Bethany which I have enjoyed.
