    Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

    My insurance SCs posted this morning, bringing my campaign to a close after getting 90 SCs (leaving energy on the table). Between Status Credits on the Ground, Points Club Plus, movement of the loyalty SCs and Green Tier, I'll have gotten 320 of the 600 status credits to requalify for gold from...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Good for the son in law, but IMO it's not really reasonable for you to be expected to trot off to BWS' site (given that the aim of the voucher is to encourage you to pop into BWS on the way out of the supermarket). It should be much clearer on the receipt that only one offer can be redeemed...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    See bws.com.au/RR FWIW, the wording is "This offer will be available only with the use of the receipt and can be redeemed one time per customer per receipt."

    The Chardonnay Thread

    No reason other than a very generic "An error occured while fulfilling your order. Unfortunately, we were unable to process your order." I suspect it's either mispriced or there's no actual stock (given that 2023 Montrachets seem to still be en primeur at many places) as my card went through...

    The Chardonnay Thread

    I really need to stop buying wine but before I do, a bit of a bargain on Vivino. A case of Moillard-Grivot Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru 'Les Embazées' 2023 for $518 shipped. VINOAU gives you another $30 off if placing your first order.

    GHA Discovery Elite Treatment

    The person from GHA on Flyertalk indicated that stays paid with Discovery Dollars weren’t ineligible in themselves. Therefore this should be credited I hope.

    Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

    FWIW, the status credits for my stay in early October at a hotel booked through Qantas Hotels were booked with an early November activity date - which was a relief because my new membership year started 1 November. The points themselves had an October activity date.

    Finnair to launch Melbourne-Helsinki flights

    When I was looking a couple of days ago, the J fares were crazy cheap - think $4.5k to AMS on OTAs. It seems they've now been fixed up as the same days now look to be almost $10k! Quite the hike over even their normal rates (possibly because the fares have only been released, but even so...)...

    Emirates restricts first class awards to elite members only

    The standard Dom is delicious, but the rose and P2 are better still (had the DP Rose on both SYD-DXB and DXB-SEA in October :)).

    Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

    Yeah - I didn't get the 1000 bonus points as, even though I hadn't had a Binge account for more than 12 months, it was existing. I had to set up a fresh account to get the 1000 points from Kayo instead.

    Finnair to launch Melbourne-Helsinki flights

    Good news! Hopefully their J fares will remain competitive.

    Emirates restricts first class awards to elite members only

    Awesome! I have a SYD-CHC/CHC-SYD EK F joyride coming up after Christmas so it's great to hear you had a good time. I'm hoping they've got Dom P2 on board (there have been reports on the Flyertalk EK wine thread that it's loaded on some flights but 'off the books').

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    10 minutes or so. So I called up and the change was processed... and a change fee and telephone booking fee was charged! So another email has been sent off requesting a refund of the points... Sigh... 😞

    Skyteam Status Discussion

    Probably the only reason to choose VN Gold is if you fly in Vietnam domestically. As Elite Plus only covers international lounges (there are some domestic lounges available now including HAN and SGN, but not all), if there other VN lounges in Vietnam, VN Gold might give access where GA platinum...

    Card payment sucharges banned in Australia from 2026

    Well, they may offer some card payments with a surcharge (e.g. Amex) and others surcharge-free (e.g. Visa/Mastercard). As others have noted, if they're applying card surcharges to all cards, that's a problem.

    Inconsistent QFF points given on Partner Airline

    I'd email the boarding pass to [email protected] and argue that you're due for 715 points. (Sometimes, PE can merely be a glorified seat selection rather than a separate category of fare. Perhaps the system can cope with a ticket married to a business segment, but not where it's...

    Inconsistent QFF points given on Partner Airline

    You need to find the booking class of the flights, which aren't on that... (EDIT Looking on Matrix ITA, economy books into L while business is I, Z or D. No premium economy. I suspect what's happened here is that you've been sold a premium economy ticket on a plane that doesn't have premium...
