    I have the HSBC Premier as one that was not mentioned in the article. $199 per year and up to 90K capped points earn (SQ,VA,CX) as well as two Lounge entries. There is a Qantas version for $399 PA. Of course, you need to be premier Qualified...

    What cheeses me off

    Agreed, the article is simple click bait scare mongering. For example: There'll be no general price increase. If they could get higher prices now, they would already be doing so. Generally, reducing the market means reducing demand means reducing prices.

    What cheeses me off

    No doubt it is incumbent on the payer to verify the ABN on a tax invoice before paying. But, who does that?

    Lounge Opening Times for SQ248 - MEL to SIN?

    I have looked on Flyertalk and have seen reference for the Melbourne KrisFlyerLounge opening at 3 hours before SQ248 operates. Also, this article indicates 3 hours. https://www.pointhacks.com.au/reviews/silverkris-business-class-lounge-melbourne-overview/ I would be shocked if the lounge was...

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    Basically two morning flights where I have row 3 already. I'd already upgraded the afternoon returns with platinum upgrade credits.

    Qantas Sydney Domestic Business Lounge Panini Bar

    Yeah, generally the bread to filling ratio significantly tilts to the former. I have been known to order 2 and adjust in the other direction.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Going further, balance for the previous 365 days on any particular day after 1st October. e.g. On 10th October 2025 have 1490/2020 SC since 11th November 2024. Earn 15 VA metal SC on 21st October to go to 1505/2035; thus earning Platinum Plus with a review date of 21st October 2026.

    Unlock up to 50% more Qantas Points when you top-up offer - worth it?

    If you travel a lot on awards it can be worthwhile. Myself as a WP, PC is OK but I see little benefit in PC+. I do not 'churn'. What do you get for that $747? Maybe consider after May - If you earn it in before the end of May you'd have it until May 2026. For the last few years, I have...

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    I caught a public bus from Cairns to the airport in July 2022. Such a service did not exist pre-COVID. This service has been stopped.

    I’m about to fall 10 SC short of WP retention

    Earlier this century there were stories of such comping which appeared to have been based on the member's last 3-4 years QFF activity. Such anecdotes dried up during the last decade. I guess these days they have a discretionary "Get out of Jail Free card". Maybe a one off?
