    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    $60/week x 4 for 10K points. Was worried it would be more because I had high spends last month but $60 is fine.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    These are likely spoofed numbers, with your number called by an autodialler. They work systematically through phone numbers so your numbers probably weren't targeted. If you are targeted when future scammy calls come, don't be surprised if they do cite one or more of the data points known to...

    Bonuses for transferring Flybuys points to Velocity

    The 'first time transfer' requirement only applies to auto transfers. (I've done my 1000 point transfer. Last time, my bonus lobbed in on 13 January after transferring the Flybuys points on 27 November. It was described as 'Flybuys Dec/Jan 250 Manual Transfer'.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    They try and brute force MyGov all the time. The pro tip is to switch off your email address as a username (which they seem to have done), set up a passkey and turn off passwords.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Indeed - given that they don't actually use the DOBs anymore, I don't know why (other than sheer inertia/laziness) they've been retained. (I was recently reminded that my DOB was incorrect because it was pre-populated on a Qantas Health Insurance quote, but can't remember the last time they...

    I'm over (most) lounges

    On my recent trip to Europe, I flew Finnair and got to experience both extremes. In SIN, I went to the QR business lounge and it was superb - quiet, comfortable seating, nice showers, top notch a la carte dining and great wines/coughtails. Why so good? I imagine it was because it was strictly...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    2x points today. I took advantage of it though as I had to collect the whisky I purchased on Thursday (as expected, the 1500 'top up' bonus points came through along with last week's 3x offer points despite the offer expiring yesterday with the date of transaction being Thursday).

    How long do BA, Finnair and Other oneworld flights take to credit to Qantas?

    IIRC, my AY flights (once my Qantas FF number was linked correctly) came in 4 days.

    Classic and Classic Plus domestic availability quirk

    FWIW, I was looking at MEL-SYD on 19 September (when I have a Classic Reward in Y booked) and noticed that on some flights, you can get a J Classic for 18,400 points or a Y Classic Plus on the same flight for 19,700 points. Make of that what you will...

    Jetstar Asia to shutdown on 31 July 2025

    It's wishful thinking on my part but it'd be great if the powers that be at SIN decided to move JQ back to T2 in the absence of a critical mass of 3K flights.

    What to expect - Fiji Airways in J

    I think NAN-NRT is on the A330, which means that the business class seat is... lacking. It's 2-2-2 and angled, compared to the A350's 1-2-1 full flat.
