  • Qantas launches ‘group boarding’ on Sydney flights

    Jun 04, 2024, 05:57 AM

    Flew out of Brisbane yesterday morning and saw this in effect. Didnt know it was that close to starting but quickly found this article which answered all my questions!  Very happy to see this change as something definitely needed to happen with the out of control lines. Love that the scanner...

  • Qantas freebie: get a stylish luggage tag for your bag

    May 24, 2024, 06:27 PM

    Hmm.  They look…. Interesting. Not bad, but a bit of a waste.Absolute cop out that they aren’t RFID though, or tracking in some way! (Or as Johns said, to hold an AirTag or similar!). That is the best feature. If you don’t have RFID you have to print out a paper tag for ch...

    I've had this card for a long time now, and it used to be a fantastic point earner, but it has turned into utter rubbish ever since the RBA/Interchange fees saga last year which cut most of the points earning.   I have a couple of other credit cards I use now, which are significantly bette...

  • Apple's mid-year MacBook Pro 2018 update makes now the time to buy

    Jul 16, 2018, 02:23 PM

    It is very expensive, but my current MacBook Pro has lasted 7 years and is only now crapped out with display issues - was working fine before that albeit slightly reduced battery life. A very good innings in my opinion!

  • Jetstar not issuing refunds for COVID cancelled flights

    Jul 17, 2020, 08:45 PM

    I am surprised you are having this issue. I had a Jetstar flight cancelled on me and was offered the standard voucher. As it was cancelled I knew I was entitled to a refund. I contacted them via chat - was speaking to an agent within 7 minutes (which really surprised me). Asked for a refund. It ...

  • Quick Topup Ideas - Qantas Points

    Mar 07, 2019, 03:37 PM

    The fastest way, if possible, is get an 'eligible family member' to transfer (loan) you the points. These transfers happen instantly. Once you get the 70K from your Mastercard, give them their points back.Not a lot of other ways to quickly get that many points short of purchasing them as mentione...

  • Qantas Frequent Flyer anniversary date (actually, time)

    Oct 29, 2018, 01:00 PM

    Points are usually posted/awarded after the flight however, sometimes a couple of days after. I reckon you'd see them in your next anniversary year..

  • Double Status Credits: Qantas Silver > Gold

    Oct 12, 2018, 12:30 PM

    I am based in BNE - and of my usual destinations I would travel to normally, BNE-MEL-BNE in business class would cost approx $1300 (March - it's possibly cheaper in other months) and return a total of 240 status credits. This equates to $5.42 per status credit which is very good in my opinion!I'v...

    Thanks Steve. Just did some googling and came across an old 2015 AusBT thread saying this as well - good to hear 👍
