    300 bonus Velocity points - the worst Flybuys offer ever?

    The Flypay promotion is targeted and some people could earn up to 2000 points for using. I don't think 500 Flybuys points is a bad offer. It's a payment system (not buy now pay later) so no credit checks. So an easy 500 points if you need to purchase something online from one of the...

    Qantas Mall - eBay and Super Weekend Promotion

    I sent a feedback message to Qantas shopping. I don't think the help desk operator could fully grasp what I was explaining to them and told me to wait two weeks for the points to be processed. Somehow I don't think this issue will be resolved as I doubt the low level help desk gate keepers will...

    Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

    I'm not even saying it's the root cause, don't put words in my mouth. The federal government, SA and Vic governments have all made mistakes. I still firmly believe a short snap lock down weeks ago or at the least mandated mask wearing would've helped. I suppose, you think we should've just sat...

    Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

    No I don't, but they made a mistake in regards to the Woolworths the infected man from SA quarantine went to. Ok delicate genius, what's your answer to this? A short snap lock down clearly would've greatly helped in this situation. Now we're facing at least two weeks. Instead the Victorian...

    Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

    Well I would think the Federal government is at least 50% of the blame here. And it's not the vaccination roll-out that is the main issue, it's the fact that they have been sitting on their hands for over a year regarding quarantine facilities. We would've only had maybe at best 10% of the...

    Qantas Mall - eBay and Super Weekend Promotion

    I would hope so. Surly they can forward track the time if the cookies are going by a US time zone which appears to be the case as my items were purchased mid morning Saturday. I think there will be many people complaining about this, especially if they miss out on 500-750 bonus points when it's...

    Qantas Mall - eBay and Super Weekend Promotion

    So for those who may have noticed the Qantas Mall has a Super Weekend promotion for the last weekend of May 2021 (29-30th) and eBay has the following promotion: "Double Points. Plus get 500 bonus points when you spend $150 or get 750 bonus points when you spend $200" Fortunately, there were a...

    Missing flybuys points

    Yeah it's not good. Woolworths Reward bonus points are credited rather quickly, even from the likes of Big W. I'm still waiting for my Target bonus points which were earned over a month ago. To me it appears that the Flybuys systems from all of the stores using the program are not automatically...

    Missing flybuys points

    How long should it take for Target to credit bonus points? Been waiting to see roughly 650 bonus points for a month now. Not sure why it would take so long other than the Flybuys systems are not linked up and there is some sort of manual processing going on. Woolworths Rewards bonus points for...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    It's good they're vaccinating so many people, but I'd still wouldn't want to set foot in the UK at the moment with the virus causing such chaos there. Australia can take a more measured approach to the vaccine roll-out.

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    It's not just cafes, but chemists, convenience stores, cleaners, dry cleaners, commercial office space providers etc etc. I don't run a coffee shop or a small business. Clearly you have no empathy for small businesses suffering during the pandemic going by your attitude. That's fine most people...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    WFH sounds great in theory, but in reality leaves many businesses closing down that provide services to office workers e.g. cafes as the obvious example. The unemployment rate wont go back to where it was pre covid for a long time.

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    We will easily catch up to Europe and North America in vaccinations. Australia is making a majority of the vaccinations here locally and will have a better roll-out plan in place. Australia will be cautious to open up too soon and rightly so. A vaccination may only be good for roughly 6 months...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    It's no surprise. The arrogant WA premier had been lecturing the other states on their handling of outbreaks for months. WA now has an outbreak (hopefully not a big one) and he really needs to stamp it out to save face and the fact that there will be an election in WA soon. Frankly, as...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    I'm sure the federal government will provide targeted relief, they understand they will look bad if the industry goes under, especially when a federal election is due in 12~ months. The Labor party is just playing politics with this at the moment as any opposition would. Some say the federal...

    Bain Capital takes Control of Virgin Australia

    I still think they will be a hybrid. It doesn't make sense to become Tiger 2.0 as they will loose corporate customers and customers who want to fly with a bit more prestige. However, maybe the short term is budget until the airline industry gets back on it's feet which will take a few years. I...

    Qantas (online) Shopping points prompter add-on - it's good!

    Depending on the store returns policy it can take a few months or more for points to be credited.

    Qantas Points with Afterpay

    Considering PayPal is set to enter the buy now pay later space it appears that AfterPay offering Qantas points is a good enticement over using PayPal. However, this could now spell the end for many BNPL operators.

    Qantas (online) Shopping points prompter add-on - it's good!

    And to add to that it's far easier to delay a points credit for sometimes upto 4 months than Qantas having to manually remove the points from someones account after they return the item to the estore. estore purchases are verified via web browser cookies. A more direct points credit system...
