Back in 2019 we stayed at Dave Parker Eco Lodge for a couple days which is high in the hills above Apia and appeals more to bird watchers than beach people but it was really beautiful. It's still around as per Google maps and hotel booking sites and reasonably priced. Then we moved into town...

I just got a notification that the money showed up in my account at B of A which is when it normally shows up from Wise. No idea why Wise gave such a silly timeline, there are no public holidays this week.

My husband got 100 points and I got the draw entry.

Does anyone have any idea why Wise is taking so long to transfer? It usually takes less than 24 hours to hit my B of A account. Wednesday, 18 December at 02:10 We received your AUD Your money's being processed Thursday, 19 December at 12:00 We pay out your USD Saturday, 21 December at 12:00...

The points posted - sort of. They gave me 1843 bonus points. The value of the gift card was included in the total spend, I can't remember if that is normal or not. Assuming it is, I got 1981 points. I don't want to deal with the hold and hassle to get a human on the phone so I am not going...

Follow up. I waited over a week to chase them up because of Thanksgiving holidays in case they were backlogged. I did the online chat and presented my case as best I could. US citizen with passport and SSN who travels frequently. Only using the number for banking (true). I couldn't convince...

Well I called and after I finally got a human she said they were aware of the problem and would give everyone their points by the end of the week.

i bought $100 Apple GC, receipt shows 38 bonus points. Will they automatically fix it or I have to call in?

Me too, I say this on the feedback at the end every time. I wonder if they will use these surveys for the show next year.

That's even fishier! There are no direct flights to Laos from Australia or from there to Japan! https://www.flightconnections.com/flights-from-vientiane-vte I could believe a stop in SIN, KUL or BKK but this must have been one hell of an itinerary and then accepting a suitcase from a...

I've seen a few similar stories on "Banged Up Abroad" and this poor lady seems to have been so blinded by love she threw her judgement out the window. Why would anyone travel to Japan via Laos? There are plenty of direct flights from Australia to Japan. And of course the scammer is probably...

This is an amazing part of Turkiye! I did the eastern part with a friend by car as a circle from Kars and also passed by Malazgirt which is where Alparslan made his first conquest in Anatolia. Then to Tatvan and the same route you show. This was last Oct, weather was nice. I did southern...

Up to now no bonus points for doing the video (recontact-banking 18 Nov). Also on the naughty list is Beauty Tracker which makes me go through about 10 minutes and then reverts to a "survey already done" screen and no points. They post a survey every month.

Does anyone have any of the Chase United cards? Good sale going on. https://www.united.com/en-us/cardmember-cyber-week-2024

Which banks have you used it with?

I was recently in the USA and used the app to call Chase and expedite an Ink card. A couple weeks later I was back in Australia and called Chase to move $1000 CL from the Ink Cash to the new Ink Unlimited to accommodate part payment on a car. Maybe 2 different IPs triggered it? I forgot who I...

QR/BA Avios from US Chase cards and Aussie Amex - moving forward will be used for J to Turkiye Aeroplan from US Chase cards will be used mostly for TK J flights Velocity from Flybuys - Will be used for short haul Pacific Islands and NZ Qantas from Woolies, random hotel promos and such - Also...

I googled some reports on Reddit that TextNow doesn't like overseas IPs or VPNs. I've never used a VPN to access it, just my normal Aussie phone, sometimes roaming overseas but rarely when not in Australia. It's ridiculous, there are 1000's of Americans living overseas as digital nomads...

I’m hoping they will restore the account. I would still be able to see codes in the notifications without opening the app. And I can call the banks from my Australia number. I just wish this happened in October. I was in the States and could have done more about it.

Are you using the TextNow app? I have used it to call banks so they instantly recognize me as a customer. And I was also able to get text messages from Chase and B of A. That's basically all I need.
