    Coles gift card offers

    In terms of the current Uber promo - I've been to three stores in the Perth metro area, and none in stock.

    Doesn't seem to be an option for "Have a local esim, and use an esim overseas"

    Problem I see with QR through Velocity is plenty of phantom seats.

    Virgin Business reward flights Availability next year disappeared

    Lots of phantom Qatar rewards show as bookable, but you get to the payment stage, and it won't book. I've had trouble finding any Business rewards to EU at any time of the year with Velocity.

    New Amex statement credits

    I don't think this has been mentioned - but a WA targeted offer. Spudshed: Spend $50, get $10 back.

    Qantas Neighbour Free Seat Reservations

    Yeah, I got an offer last week for a PER-BNE red-eye on the 737. Wasn't going to take it up (had to cancel the trip, anyway).

    US DOT proposing EU 261 style compensation.

    I for one, have contacted my MP on this front (about 8 weeks ago). Got no response to an email, so gave his office a call. Asked them for a response - nothing yet.

    New Amex statement credits

    Just be aware they're asking for ID - so you can't sign up your dog/cat etc...

    Travel Insurance

    I always use InsureandGo for my overseas Insurance. They always seem to have a discount code on Ozbargain (GROUPON20 currently gets you 20% off), and both times I've had to make a claim (different trips), they've paid out very quickly. They're also very good with certain pre-existing conditions.

    QFF Award CX flight confirmed and then wait listed, what are my next steps?

    Further update: Just received an email with a confirmed ticket from QF - and the app is no longer showing "Waitlisted". Finally, what an ordeal. Plenty of wasted hours.

    QFF Award CX flight confirmed and then wait listed, what are my next steps?

    Does anyone have any contacts of anyone at QF who know what the issue is/how to resolve this? My booking is still Waitlisted, and I'm getting fobbed off by the 1300 659 161 team. One person I spoke with even hung up on me, after I politely asked to escalate the call to his supervisor (he was...

    Virgin site borking when trying to book Qatar seats

    I actually had one of these book! A BER-DOH-PER in J. Got a confirmation number, a pending transaction on my CC for the taxes - but when I called (didn't receive an email with the ticket), I was told that it didn't exist.

    QFF Award CX flight confirmed and then wait listed, what are my next steps?

    I'm watching this. Booked PER-HKG-LHR on CX in August in J. Booked it on Friday. Points deducted, taxes charged. I have a confirmation number and an 081 ticket number, but it's showing in the QF app as "Waitlisted". Confirmation number not working on CX. Have emailed...

    Triple points for Qantas Wine (October - November 2022)

    After a terrible experience with QF Wine last year (massive delivery delay that wouldn't arrive in time for Xmas - ended up getting a refund), I decided to give them another try, owing to this promo. Ended up buying a dozen Pommery Brut for $646 (Points Club Plus discount and $50 voucher), and...

    Abandoned in Bali by Jetstar

    In my experience, the Airline Consumer Advocate is a toothless tiger. They did absolutely nothing for me when I made a complaint - they just redirected me back to the airline for which I was having difficulities with.

    The practice of cancelling ticketed flights when flights delayed or cancelled.

    So I saw on the Australian Aviation Thread on Airliners.Net that there is currently a petition with the Parliament of Australia, to introduce passenger safegaurds/protections similar to EU-261. Given it's a petition with the Federal Government (and not a Change.Org style action), I've signed...

    Changes to QF T&C

    No idea - but how did you notice the updated date at the top? Reminds me of this story; https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2019/03/07/how-this-woman-won-by-reading-fine-print-her-insurance-contract/

    The practice of cancelling ticketed flights when flights delayed or cancelled.

    I agree 100% with everything in your post. Kick off a campaign, promote it, get the general public onboard - and ask them to start lobbying their elected pollies! How do we start?
