We are currently experiencing higher than usual call volumes.... Oh FFS put on more staff. It's not good enough to use that excuse. This push to streamline everything to increase profits is ridiculous.

There is no second fraudulent transaction. Waiting for replacement card. Waiting to make a few foreign currency purchases.

I reported fraud on 28 Degrees card on 09/Sep and today 18/Sep still no replacement. I struggle to understand why no urgency? It's not like they are struggling to make a profit....

One account spend $80 for 2000 bonus points Other account spend $100 for 2000 bonus points I'm not doing either. I will spend $20 on each account.

Absolutely. Its called Glutinous rice here. You'll find it in Asian section. Woolworths have 2 brands. Watermelon brand from Vietnam and one other brand much more expensive. Some stores do not sell, some sell 1kg bag only, some have 1kg and 2kg. 1kg bag = $4.00 2kg bag = $6.00 These used to...

Last month I took out a Woolworths $25 prepaid plan for wife with 22GB per 30 days bit free calls to Thailand. This is the selling point for us as wife talks to MIL 5-10 minutes/day. Plus we get 10% off on one shop a each 30 days. On the weekend I spent $185 and got 10% off. We're not big...

Nothing. Most of the 4 accounts have not had many offers recently.

Oh my goodness Spend $150 or more for 10x bonus points Spend $140 or more for 1300 bonus points Spend $60 x 2 weeks for 1200 bonus points Spend $70 x 2 weeks for 1300 bonus points Might do the last 2 as still need to do shopping but these are truly awful offers.

There's a lot more than just 2 things we've got wrong. One of the things that stump me the most are the people who do not contribute through life and continue to get everything throughout their life. That's a huge burden on the rest of us. On a good note both my super funds returned between...

I'm not sure. It's just doing it intermittently. The past few days it's been charging to 100% again. I've had the Samsung S21 for over 2 years. That's the longest I've had a phone in recent years without it breaking down or me damaging it. Getting close to a new one. Samsung S24 in early 2025...

I'm stunned at aged care fees. Surely not for profit organisations should be the way to go? I'm sure they could be make it work without those ridiculous up front fees? Focus of the government should be in taking care of long standing citizens instead of throwing money at new arrivals. If I...

I noticed recently my daughters Samsung A15 phone was only charging to 80% through the night and sometimes less. I found Setting to restrict battery charge to 80% and it was set. Daughter must have accidentally set it. What a stupid setting. Now my Samsung S21 is doing similar intermittently...

Offers have been non-existent except for 1 account Spend $115 × 4 weeks for 10,000 bonus points

I've been with SCTI the past 2 years and this year Cover More is by far the cheapest and there does not appear to be any loading for existing conditions declared. Only problem is you've got to specify how much cancellation cover. If I'm not mistaken this used to be included on most policies...

Thanks. Note to self. Stay away from Vietnam and China.

I've never seen it happen in 20+ years going to Thailand but I guess lots of things happen that I never see. How about front pocket? By your logic a wallet is not safe, even bumbag, anywhere in Asia. Jacket could be OK but one does not always wear a jacket. I will never be convinced that a...

My wife likes to lock her luggage when we are travelling. There's nothing ultra important inside but she doesn't want the opportunistic person going through her luggage or worse still someone planting something inside luggage. I stopped locking long time ago. Not being critical, but just...

For advertising flights? Yes.

My wife is warning me to be ultra careful when we are in Pattaya. The police are as corrupt as hell. Someone we know (Thai lady) had a motorcycle stolen. Went to the police station to report the stolen bike. They asked for money to investigate. A different time the same person had drugs...

So Flybuys taking a huge cut? From $2110pp or 422,000 Flybuys points. Seriously taking the p!ss.
