    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    It’s a failed export now offloaded in the domestic market.

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    When you see $480 wine sold at almost 90% discount it doesn’t matter what it actually is because it will most definitely be another failed Chinese export garbage.

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    The legendary Dr Edge 18 Oregon wines. Willamette is great but Chehalem is the star. Shame Peter couldn’t replicate the quality since. First time trying Nick Spencer’s premium wines over two days. On the first night both didn’t show much. Had two glasses of each and put back in the fridge...

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Good but too young. I keep forgetting Yarra Chards need time… Had two glasses and the rest on following night. Significant improvement.

    New Amex statement credits

    For both Hilton and Pelago single and multiple transactions there were no email confirmation and offers remained in the saved offers section until cashback posted. Had similar experience with the recent Nespresso offer so it seems we shouldn’t expect email confirmations anymore.

    I had similar issue with the Hilton offer. Single transaction > $400 cashback posted in few days while multiple transactions took almost two weeks (from last transaction) to post. Hopefully it means your Pelago cashback is just delayed.

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Nice 👍 I’ve started collecting them from 2016 onwards. Still didn’t open any. You reckon 10yr is the sweet spot?

    The spend (single transaction > $100) was recorded as Pelago Singapore but the $30 cashback came from Encounters Pty Ltd.

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Can’t say there was one outstanding as there were many excellent wines and verities but if I must select a few then my highlights were (in no particular order): MP Lovedale Semillon 2005 Leeuwin Chardonnay 2012 BF Sangreal Pinot Noir 2012 Able Barolo 2010 Wynns BL Cab Sav 1978 McWilliams...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I’ve recently canceled some flights which had schedule change on them. When asked what the new expiry date on the miles will be the answer was “we don’t know until the miles are back in your account”. To my surprise the miles were reinstated with Nov 24 expiry which is probably the original...

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    21 bottles shared between 9 mates (some of them AFFers). We probably overindulged but it was a great night thanks to our host who also prepared a wonderful meal.

    SQ Melbourne to Hong Kong for $590 return

    I’m waiting for QF to bring back the $599 return fares to HKG they had pre-covid. With the economy only getting worse it’s just a matter of time until we’ll see these kinds of sales across the board.

    Rockfords discussion

    That would be RCDP 😉 I guess since technically BPs aren’t offered to the general public even at the winery they quote standard retail price.

    What's your Uber experience?

    You are supposed to pay less than the quoted amount when it includes tolls if you choose to avoid them. Off course some drivers will try to game the system and drive just next to a toll road and then riders will be charged despite not using any tolls. Going from BNE to city next to the tunnel...

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    They used to be helpful once upon a time when they could book multi city itineraries but these days they just follow whatever is on the website which is broken more often than not. Sure they will help to select seats and send electronic tickets but that’s basic.
