As a further update, I also tried using the same prepaid card to pay the ATO via the Post Office option and also via Sniip. Both methods also unsuccessful. Post Office clerk said card machine wouldn’t offer “credit” as an option when paying the ATO. Sniip says “the biller does not support this...

I bought the $100 green "VISA PREPAID" gift card to test whether it would be accepted by the ATO. Sadly it was declined, which is a shame. As the only possible upside I can see to paying tax (aside from society continuing to function) is some bonus Qantas points on the side.

I realise this is patently a first world problem. One of the things I quite look forward to when flying business long haul is the champagne. It’s one of the things that makes it a treat. I’d go as far as saying I’d skip drinks in the lounge to save myself for a glass or two onboard. So was...

Seats I'd like showing on ExpertFlyer, can I book via Qantas? Website crashes. Error 500. So they announce this to create huge interest, then huge interest crashes the system.

Thanks for sharing @robbegong, much appreciated. I shall try same approach!

Travelling on a BA part Avios / part cash redemption ticket in QF J SYD-MEL; flight cancelled due to Sydney storms. QF have rebooked me into Y next day. Not a biggie, but anyone know the best approach to get the Avios/cash difference refunded to reflect actual class of travel? Is it the...

Only the $30/$50 ones in Ashfield Woolies today.

Looks like that's not an option for JB HiFi, only some retailers appear to be listed as allowing the swap from TCN to the retailer gift card.. excluding JB. I called JB just now, and they said I can't buy their gift cards with another gift card. So looks like the only option is to buy the item...

I'm hoping to use the TCN gift cards at JB HiFi (which seems like a common option here) The item I want to buy is out of stock locally, so does anyone know of a way to use these gift cards online at JB? Wondering whether I can go into the local JB HiFi and buy their gift cards using the TCN gift...

Yep - posted instantly when buying $50 TCN Gift cards.

So here's how it ended.. QF Customer Care called me up, apologised and explained that the complaint was being dealt with seriously internally (lots of emails between departments apparently). They offered me a gesture of good will in the form of a points credit. That works for me not only because...

I've been in touch with Red Roo on this forum several times, who's been very helpful in getting Customer Care pay some attention to my original complaint (it seems they had 'lost' it first time around). It's now been escalated again given the poor response received from Customer Care. It seems...

It took a little while but I got a response from Customer Care on this. The only apology was for the delay in replying.. apparently the meal was 'more lean meat than fat'. Sorry, not good enough Qantas.

Sure, here's one. Any vets around that might be able to identify the 'bits'? :)

This may be old news, but Qantas appear to be scrapping bits of animal off the floor of an abattoir and serving it up as 'beef in red wine sauce' in International Economy (QF82 on 4 July to be precise). I had the pleasure of finding an assortment of animal organs in my meal on this sector. What...

They automatically moved the booking to the following day which was still operated by a B747 and had Y+. Unfortunately I didn't have that flexibility in my plans and needed to travel on the original date. It was a redemption ticket so they offered to refund the points difference between Y and...

I'm due to travel on the QF127 to HKG tomorrow and just found out it's been swapped from the A380 to a B747, despite being a Thursday service (it's meant to be the A380 Thu-Sun). Had the same issue to LAX last year on the QF11 (A380 also swapped to a B747). The year before I was heading to NRT...
