    10,000 Woolworths rewards points for a travel insurance policy.

    If you don't have a copy, AFCA should be able to request these from NIB - I would suggest it would be unreasonable for a "reasonable person" to have to take screenshots/keep copies of this information (different to a PDS).

    Qantas Points Cracker promotion

    And thank you to the person who joined me. I got put in the draw - no points or SC. Hopefully my counterpart was more successful.

    As did I - thank you for sharing.

    Subscriptions: Lies, lies, and more lies from Qantas Wine

    Qantas wine couldn't organise a chook raffle. One Xmas I decided to buy a case of Champagne for gifts - didn't arrive in time. Trying to arrange for it to be returned/refunded was a massive headache. Few years later, I thought I'd give them another try - once again, case of Champagne as Xmas...

    Checked luggage in Australia - why so long?

    Having recently returned on late evening flights into Perth on QF, I've noticed the luggage carousel doesn't get switched on until at least 35 minutes after arrival. It has taken at least 5 - 10 minutes after that for my bags to show. In the US, there are two airlines that I know of (AS and...

    Which lounge do TG use in PER

    I can tell you from first hand experience that the Aspire lounge is pretty dire in terms of food and beverage offerings. Space is also very limited, particularly prior to the CX service.

    Virgin Australia orders 8 Embraer E190-E2 jets for delivery from 2025

    And engineering/LAME support. IIRC this was an issue for them last time?

    Your Aeroplan account has been deactivated

    I am also suffering from this. Sent a copy of my drivers licence - and told it's going to be a few months. I'll try calling - the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

    Stuck in Singapore (JQ8 cancellation)

    Reminds me of the Simpsons - "Old Man Yells at Cloud" Or perharps, it should be "Cloud9 yells at Cloud"? ;)

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    Related - I signed up for this CC just before the Aeroplan expired. In order to do so, I had to create an Aeroplan account. I've since tried to log in, and it says "Your Aeroplan account has been deactivated". Other than calling the number, any suggestions?

    10,000 Woolworths rewards points for a travel insurance policy.

    I'm starting to get some traction through my AFCA complaint - finally seems like my last two policies (4 and 5 out of 5) will be paid out.

    Didn't expect this to be my breaking point, but it finally came!

    Lodging a Small Claims proceeding or not being bitter, are not mutually exclusive. I've lodged a VCAT claim in the past (for a different type of consumer dispute), and didn't let it get in the way of my day-to-day life. Filed the paperwork, didn't pay it any mind until the hearing day - when...

    Perth Airport fuel issues, many flights cancelled/diverted

    There's some interesting diversions to Geraldton. OD196 from AKL which is a 737 Max that's been in the air 8hrs 15 mins is about to land. Must almost be running on fumes? Philippine Airlines picked up some fuel, and is now headed into PER.

    10,000 Woolworths rewards points for a travel insurance policy.

    Given the insurance is done through NIB (who purchase the points from WW), I don't think the risk of this is very high. Also (having spoken with a few Everyday Rewards team members about this), they seem just as frustrated with NIB as I am.

    10,000 Woolworths rewards points for a travel insurance policy.

    Just because there's a policy, doesn't necessarily mean it's enforceable under Australian Consumer Law. In my opinion, the limit wasn't clearly disclosed (in particular expressly stated) in the terms and conditions. They've made no effort to engage with me (e.g. potentially offer a refund...

    I didn't see any today at Woolworths in Perth CBD - nor any Uber ones, either.

    Article: Best Credit Cards for Overseas Travel & Online Shopping

    Just got the notification, too. It was my daily "go-to", and I used it all the time internationally. Will pay it off, and cancel.
