Unbelievable! So I rang again, did the "I'd like to cancel" bit, got put through to a customer relationship manager, who asked me why "I didn't ask for the fee to be reduced". I pointed out that I had, but had been point-blank refused. Anyway, best she would do was no annual fee for the...

Thanks, Everyone.

I grabbed a platinum card almost a year ago with no fee for the first year. Fee is due in a couple of weeks. My first call to the call centre asking about a fee waiver was met with a straight up no. What's the form here - do I have to "do an amex" and ring up asking to cancel, or do CitiBank...

Re: Business as Usual at the aero-bridge tonight They must have been celebrating pretty much every Sunday night in Brisbane and every Friday night in Melbourne for the last six months!!

Business as Usual at the aero-bridge tonight Waited five minute for ground staff to move the aerobridge again. Business as usual.

OK, so it's not an upgrade... but: QF633 BNE MEL 16:20 The flight will be full - always is on a Friday. When I checked in yesterday, I got 20D ininitally - it was the first aisle not allocated to other pax with higher statuses. I swapped that for 7E. Just checked now - 9 hours before...

I reckon the opposite - takes only about 60 seconds to click though the process to find a better seat, and they are almost always there. It might only take five minutes longer to get off the plane, but that five minutes might be the difference between walking straight up to a taxi, and a 30...

I usually OLCI soon after the flight opens - 4B or 4E is far preferable to 22C or 22D on a packed peak hour flight. Food first, drinks first & more often, and first to the taxi or waiting car. Provided OLCI isn't broken with a Sorry, but your session has timed out. Please start again. (#...

No, but I used the 716s up until a week ago when I lost them and my Sony NW005 :oops: when they fell out of my bag (I think) getting into a taxi at BNE. My ears are still ringing after two flights without the benefit of no noise. Loved them. Only thing I found was that they were a very tight...

If they don't appear by your second statement date, definitely then.

They are so inconsistent. I got the $195 charge, but it took one phone call, and 2 minutes to be told it would be credited. I got the advice to pay anyway, but having seen the problems on here, didn't argue that point, but simply asked that if I saw the credit to my account online, then I...

Same just now - it was added on the last day of the statement cycle. Interestingly the points transferred to QF a few days ahead of the last day of the statement cycle. Only 2 minutes on the phone - they knew what was happening, and said it would be reversed ASAP, but to pay the full amount...

This is a huge advantage - even though I have a taxi rank outside the door of our office in Melbourne, I still get hire car man to take me. Works out about $5 more, but that's the thing - he's waiting, on time, and I don't have to say a thing if I don't want. And I am more confident that he...

:( Ok for all you people with status, but not for me (yet;)) I have had a few years where I have not flown for business, just occasional lesiure, and I noticed that my allocated seats have been moving further back down the plane. I can't explain why my preference is being ignored, other than...

First Spend 22nd September. Total Spend (all on QF flights) $1259. 20,333 points in my QF FF A/C today. 10,000 + 5,000 + 2,500 + $1259 * 1.25 + $1259 * 1 bonus point. Very happy. Over the next six months, I'll be paying around $114 in credit card surcharges - in exchange for 38610 points on...

I'm only QC Bronze (QC Life), and my pre-allocated seat last night was 17C on a 737-800 (preference is forward aisle). However, I was able to choose 4C, and there were about a dozen free forward aisle seats closer to being forward instead of aft. Seq No 1 on my boarding pass. So OLCI is a big...

Cool - about two weeks. My first spend was on QF flights on the 22nd, so hopefully I'll get a birthday present of 17,500 points :)

Commercial Flights - I do. Light Aircraft, Helicopters, etc. No - unless I'm asked. The key reason is to avoid issues with the cells on the ground - they can get overloaded trying to hand off multiple weak signals quickly. The telco's ask the airlines to do it. Second reasons is that they...

Anyone seen or used Altec Lansing iM716s? Who knows what "technology by Etymotic Reaseach" means - do they make them, licence them under a patent? Anyway, this, and the slightly cheaper iM616 look like resonable prices for an in-ear device.

Not with short posts like this:oops:
