Thanks for all the responses as to what keeps the area economically thriving. For the life of me I had never imagined that strawberries would grow in WA and I don't know why, maybe I thought the climate would not be favorable. As others have mentioned, I am enjoying this scenic journey through...

Ok I have the answer for this as was perplexed when it happened to me. If you do not hold Qantas health insurance, 28 days after you sign up earning rates drop to 20% of what it was when you first signed up. Agree it's hardly worth your while,

I've had a few interesting discussions amongst my peer group about the international border closures. The typical response seems to be that they are more than happy with ScoMo's decision to keep us locked up. Usually the conversation ends with I don't want to go anywhere anyway. The focus seems...

Whatever the issue is with shipping I hope it all gets resolved soon. We have been waiting over 3 months for our shipment from the US and with winter fast approaching in Canberra it would be nice to haver some warmer options in the clothing department. Also IKEA has been out of so many things...

I can't be the only one that is starting to feel desperate enough to want to get on a plane and just go anywhere overseas. I did a Darwin trip in January and have a FNQ booked for April but in reality all I want is to be planning a trip overseas. If they dropped the hotel quarantine requirement...

Not surprised as most of the HSBC branches had been shuttered long ago. Last time I went into a HSBC branch they had zero other customers in the 30 minutes I was there trying to complete what should have been a simple transaction.

Looks lovely. I was just reading up the Wiki about Albany and I was wondering what sustains the population of 34k people? Can a population that size exist only on tourism, agriculture and fishing which would be 3 struggling industries. Is it thriving or surviving?

I fulfilled my second spend $30 get 1800 points. By time I got home I had my next offer of spend $30 get 1200. Each of these promos are only valid for 3-4 days. I'm going to let this one pass by as based on what you are all telling me they will continue to wind them up. I'm fortunate in that...

Yes, that was the only redemption offered. Even for a seat in economy it was the same amount of points.

i came back to Oz from the US on an award ticket on United and had no issue but I only booked 3 days in advance and it’s cost 200k points. However think US flights are different from other locations as it’s not difficult to get a flight if you have money or points.

Don't think we need to be concerned about housing affordability. That horse has well and truly bolted.

Banks in US are being more conservative since CV. I’ve noticed past 6 months there have been more requests to verify income levels upon log on to both Chase and Amex.

We are long time Chase credit card holders and have to say we have never had an issue with being questioned about our purchases or having our cards closed. Recent months we have been spending up to the limit and paying off mid cycle then racking it up again. I think if you aren't buying gift...

I wonder if the vaccinations start returning the world to normally how many of those 40,000 stranded Australians might change their mind about coming home?

New account, in the six weeks since opening it is first promotion they have given me besides fuel and liquorland offers which I have not bothered doing. Plus even though I opened the FB account I did not do any shopping at Coles. I will do the second shop for my next 1,800 and see if they try...

I had a points stay at Hilton Adelaide last month as a Diamond. I did not get an upgrade, but then again I did not ask either as it was only an overnight stay. I did get a nice corner room on the same floor as the executive lounge (closed) which I was more than satisfied with. Overall I was...

I had a spend $30 for 1800 for 3 days this week now have an identical promo valid for the next 3 days which I aim to fulfill

WTA is so bad for strategic MTOs. It's a bit like the grunting, should be penalised and it would be amazing how many players could suddenly play grunt free.

New cases are dropping significantly in most places. In Hawaii it was done to 38 today with less than 1% rate and they are talking about opening up and allowing test free travel and no quarantine for those who have been vaccinated. I have to admit I am getting very annoyed with the Australian...

I finally got a FB offer, spend $30 at Coles and earn 1800 points. Will be interesting to see if they give me another next week. This one was only valid for 3 days.
