How can they be compromised? As in the packaging has been tampered with?

Personally I don’t agree with having to quarantine for any length of time if I’m fully vaccinated, even if it is at home. What I’m curious about is how home quarantine would work if I were to return to a home that others are living in. Are they all expected to quarantine, just the return...

Can’t say I’m much of a collector but I have collected a few things throughout my travels. Don’t really have a favourite but I did buy a nice papyrus from Egypt and not the cheap, fake type that the touts try to offload at the usual tourist sites. Also bought a menorah from Israel and a small...

Do Hilton points expire? I made diamonds with VA platinum perk and my last stay was in Adelaide a couple months ago. Only have a small stash of ~85k points but wouldn’t mind using them for a night in the Hilton tel Aviv when I’m back.

Thanks for all the comments. It's good to see people are still in the game whilst its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As others have mentioned I also converted all the velocity points to KF with the intention to use them on a first class trip to India in May 2020. That obviously...

nah priced it all up with QF points. QF to Bangkok and then ELAL to Israel. Last trip to Israel was in 2019 via the US. I booked a couple of tickets for the back of the plane as it seems almost empty. You could imagine my shock when a huge group of 12 year olds boarded and had the whole back end...

I found availability for SYD - BKK and then onwards to TLV. Second leg is with ELAL which I’ve flown with a number of times. Had some good and not so good experiences with them.

I suppose as others have mentioned, huge points balance won’t matter if availability is scarce. I want to go back to Israel next year and did find availability for June 2022 at 143k one way business. I guess I could book and take the points refund if the flight doesn’t eventuate. Thankfully QF...

Was recently having a conversation with a mate who lives overseas. Both of us chase points and status. Travel is becoming a lot easier for him now that Covid is being dealt with but it’s still a slow process for us over here. Got me thinking if anyone has thrown in the towel or considering it in...

I might bite on this offer. An easy 10k points. I have had dramas in the past with the staff not wanting to sell more than a few and citing scams. Gets frustrating arguing with them.

I consistently get $230 spend for 9200 points which is a pretty easy target. These offers typically run for 3 days which will then be followed by the exact same offer. I do my shop in between the first offer expiring and the second offer commencing and I get the points for both promos even...

If you’re at my local and find a stash of MasterCards in the freezers behind the Ben & Jerry’s, they’re mine!

As a mere gold member after flying mostly with virgin and it’s partners I also copped one in the mail. Definitely welcomed in the loo reading stash!

I apologise if this has been asked before and it’s probably a silly question but what is the likelihood of Emirates resuming services between AU and NZ?

I used ~$8700 worth last year at JB and earned quite a few QF points too! Let me just say the receipt took a while to print...

I’m obviously ineligible for this as I haven’t flown with VA for at least a year and don’t think I will be flying with them moving forward, except to burn points as we’ve switched over to QF for all travel and took advantage of the status fast track. Best thing for me that’s come out of my...

I agree. Perhaps it will be extended beyond that closer to the date but now that I got the gold match through QF I'm not so concerned. So long as I can maintain my free coffee and booze in the domestic lounges for the time being I'm happy... Would be nice to experience the Qatar first class...

Your status won’t change to gold until you hit the 100 credits. Your digital QF card should show Qantas club on it so you shouldn’t have any dramas getting into any lounges.

At first the DSC promo excited me but now it think that excitement may have been a little premature. My status anniversary is the beginning of August. I only need 60 credits to reach the fast track to gold so the DSC promo wont really benefit me as I wont be doing enough travel between now and...

One this confuses me a little with qantas frequent flyer. I know with velocity your credits drop off a year after you earn them but Qantas credits all erase at the beginning of the new membership year? If I hit the fast track gold a month before my membership anniversary does that mean I only...
