I haven't Bumping this. Does anyone know if I'm meant to get the points each statement period, or whether all the bonus points are paid at the end of the 4 first periods?

Watched the first episode of the second season to Silo on Apple TV. Very strong opening - absolutely loved it. Currently traveling so will have to wait until next week to watch the 2nd and 3rd episodes

Yeah, well, QF would give you 2,000 points and a half apology, can't put a price on that!

I'll give you my address and you can get me some nappies 😂 I normally do an online order for my neighbour to hit these bonuses, and just collect when I get home

This is my second time with the Ultimate Awards card. First time on the new incremental bonus points system. Are the bonus points meant to come each month? Or do they come after the first 4 months and you get 15,000 points per month you met the minimum spend? I just got my first statement...

"Shop to collect 1800 points. Spend $350 in one or more shops" 👀 That's what I get for trying to maximise savings with my Every Extra 10% off. I try to do one huge shop each month and a couple of smaller ones for the fresh food. Can easily achieve it, though. Pantry need restocking

Last night we started our yearly watch of Lord of the Rings trilogy. It may not be a TV show but we treat it as one. We watch about an hour at night, and resume it the next night. Takes about 10 days for us, and we enjoy it equally every year. Extended edition, of course!

I wonder what it sounds like in the baggage room on a quiet night. A small orchestra of Air tags playing their tunes as they move around. But the baggage rooms are pretty noisy I suppose, might not hear them. I have a few Air Tags and it's been helpful a few times. The other day I had to get a...

I'm experiencing recently that I'll get an offer such as spending a certain amount two weeks in a row for X points. But after completing the first week, the offer just disappears. And it doesn't come back for the 2nd week. Anyone else?

For the first time ever I saw bare rows in Newcastle today. Clearly I've been too vocal about this on AFF. Come on, which one of you was it? 😂

I think it was, yes. My mate and I were wandering the streets of Oslo and saw a shop poster advertising Japan trips. We popped in and walked out 30 minutes later having spent all of our money on a 3 week tour of Japan for the following year. The food in Japan was obviously memorable, but I...

My very first long-haul trip. April 2007 NRT-VIE. I can't remember the airline, and this route doesn't seem to exist anymore. The novelty of flying that far definitely heightened the experience but I remember they had this spicy fried chicken that I thought tasted amazing. I haven't felt that...

I just finished reading the Silo trilogy. I hadn't heard of the books but I watched the TV adaptation (only one season out) and I was hooked and couldn't wait to know how it concludes. The show is excellent, and the story in the books is a good one, but the writing isn't exactly First Class so...

I'd say this can be considered on-topic. How this works is they take your browser's request to fetch `virginaustralia.com.au` (this is DNS spoofing) and instead serve you an identical looking VA website clone and collect your credentials if you enter it there. Best to rely on the apps rather...

Great article. One thing I personally love is the Finnair availability. They release availabilities 365 days and they're quite generous. Right now you'd have no problem finding 6 seats in J from Bangkok to Helsinki (though you'd arrive 10pm) or 3-4 seats from many other Asian cities. They're a...

Supermarket busy bodies. I don't understand their motivations. Is it just a power trip? I can't imagine the higher-ups give a hoot. I purchased 2x $500 Vanilla MC the other day and the cashier recognised me as a repeat customer and didn't make any noise about it. I keep reading here that...

After all that back-and-forth I still ended up in the Finnair AirLounge seats for the return trip on SIN-SYD as the QF292 is one of the Finnair wet lease planes, I think. But it's only a ~8 hour flight so here's hoping it goes well. He'll be a seasoned traveler by then

Yep was able to grab two backwards facing seats. I know not everyone loves the new Finnair seats. If I was less mobile, I imagine it could be tricky sliding down into the seat. Being on the shorter side has its advantages when it comes to travel
