Given all the Amex hype on The Daylight Offers, it is very underwhelming. Nothing really different than what gets rolled our each month anyway. Shop Small was farcical, and as a promo this is not much better. Oh for the "good ole days" of Amex Promos that one could really go to town on.

With longer time always landside. I have only down airside when I have had a shortish layover and purely went in for a quick sleep. 1726652303 Yes young ones would love the free light show that is in Jewel.

Yes I have had layovers of almost 24 hours with SQ and bags always just checked through. Going to Europe we often try and fly during the day for both flights and get a good night's sleep in a hotel. We especially do this is flying g in F/R, to make the most of the luxury. But also in J we...

I have lost track of the the number award flights that I have taken, or booked for immediate family, into the UK. I am yet to book one longhaul award out of the UK. I mainly buy short hops to places like Dublin, Stavanger, Bergerac or the like. I have also left by ship and train. The only...

Virtually all of my rewards booking with SQ are one way flights. One reason is I often book a year out to get my preferred flight, and as I may be away 8 weeks or more , waiting to to book a return redemption would reduce my options. In Europe I rarely fly in and out of the same city. My...

Just thought I would add this in case the webpage disppears. The 30,000 bonus Points will be allocated to your Velocity account in accordance with, and subject to the Velocity membership Terms and Conditions 10-12 weeks after you meet the minimum spend criteria for the eligible offer associated...

only 10% for me.

Yes I also got one of those for spending 10K on pay.com.au So I took that one up as well. 1723269703 Second 10K bonus of points just posted on 9 Aug for a $1007 spend on 4 Aug. So that is 20K so far from this promo. 10K still to go (I have not spend the third $100+ yet) and 10K for the...

Yes agree, you need to look broadly. And it varies. Though all my recent trips over the last two years have each of 6//7 weeks only partly been Booking,com - NY-Canada-Alaska, Spain-Portugal-Morocco-Spain, Wales-England-France and with my last trip...

Yes Booking.com has been doing this for over a couple of years now. Is a bit of scam when they boast the cashback which is paid by increasing the base price! I open two different browser and price both ways. I then also after having identified a preferred hote/accommodation, then check...

Yes I have done same with bookings in Thailand. Though nights 1 & 3 were me. Night 2 my wife's account. Emailed the hotel requesting them to merge the three bookings into one. They have confirmed that we will get all 3 nights in the same room. Also have booked 1 more night in Rome...

First 10K bonus just posted on 4 Aug for 1 Aug $1000 (made up 3 smaller spends).

That is how I read it. Easy enough to do three $1000 spends anyway. That is my plan anyway.

' Yes I gained this as well. Have already put through one lot of $1000. Also got 10,000 Bonus points of for using pay.com.au recently. I much prefer these types of offers. The current Shop Small is a joke.

Yes, I also moved all my remaining point's and wife's across then too. It was kind of odd seeing the account down to zero after so many, many years with a healthy balance.

Yes sadly I have switched to Velocity. Plus that 75,000 you might send there can be done when there is a Velocity Transfer Bonus. While I prefer Krisflyer, it is just no longer via for credit card points to go there. Yes. Much better.

I hope you had your own income down as several $million then. ;)

Given the crime and theft common in Africa generally, that would be quite risky. Though yes you need some cash. At one place we stayed at in Kenya the Manager stole cash from our room safe. His strategy was to steal about 10% and hope that the client would not notice till later, or perhaps...

Not long back from Germany. DB certainly not reliable! (PS our trips in other years had been excellent) We had booked Hamburg to Prague. About 45 minutes into the trip train stops between stations, announcements all only in German. Asked another passenger. First announcement was that there...

Currently has dropped for a limited time to 39.99 https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CHVTNVP4/ Well timed for me as my other half just left two of our travel adapters on a cruise ship.
