Well, logged a ticket with their bot (after answering a plethora of questions for it, honestly a simple ticket-lodging web form would be…

Yep same here, will give it a few hours but hopefully there's some support contact otherwise...

Tracked at 10% instead of 18% here too for a 12 AM purchase (trackback email received at 1 AM in the bonus window too), very disappointing…

Just remade all my bookings when it was 17% the other week, damn it, 1% wasted...

I guess for the first one or two trips, one wants to load up on souvenirs. The last 8 flights to Japan however I've just taken a 7Kg…

>but why I did not get full refund? If you paid (or it was simply billed in the back-end) in a foreign currency, they probably refunded to…

Ka-n-sa-i (pronounced Kahn-sai), 'n' is the only consonant in the kana.

Mostly, a few things survived, including much of Asakusa I believe. And things made of brick like Tokyo station/the walls of the Imperial…

Yeah, as above there's still plenty to keep one occupied in SK for a few weeks. Very much enjoyed the DMZ, Seoraksan hiking, Gyeongju, and…

Bland by Japan's standards, obviously nothing in Australia can really hold a candle to any city there though. But still after 10+ trips to…

And the Americans destroyed all of the major historical landmarks in Tokyo in the most devastating firebombing campaign of all time, (which…

Well doesn't matter for me, rejected with $100K income for the min $15K credit limit, no dependents, but two mortgages (one which is rented…

The question is how many of those 'prescription' deaths are people self-medicating for a 'legal' high. Also those numbers are out-of-date.…

>Never heard of date rape and drink spiking? Hence the 'willing' to play roulette in my previous comment. A child who doesn't know what…

>This sentence alone says you have lived quite a sheltered life and that you really know nothing substance abuse. I guess having the basic…

Good amount of points for the price but $6000 is a big oof unless you happen to have some big annual bills like home insurance/etc to pay.

Yep, absolute insanity now that you mention that. Free meds for junkies rolling the dice for a high, while people with actual allergies who…

>if only the rest of the world were so lucky No luck needed, it's not exactly hard to not take illegal drugs. If a kid has it given to them…

Thankfully I know my family aren't silly enough to mess with such substances, but I have had a close family friend OD and die in a Thai…

A moral failure is trying to noramlise illicit opioid use to such a degree that some want to stock this crap on public transport.

I'd be amazed if those using legal opioids (in a legitimate fashion, not recreationally as a mere replacement for illicit drugs like every…

>it's there to treat an overdose Yeah, an overdose that's generally caused by them being a junkie.

Yeah nah, society shouldn't have to stock opioid OD meds in every location just to cater to junkies. Bad enough they're wasting taxpayer…

Performance itself is apparently a bit average but should suffice for most purposes. Privacy-wise, seems they store logs of what user/IP…

Update: Tracked after 4 hours at $241.12, so after whatever taxes or the like are excluded you're looking at 122%~ cashback, can't complain…

Good thing my CC will expire before the 5 year plan renewal hah.

Signed up for the 5-year at $197.57 AUD, seems to have billed in USD (which is odd as visiting their page from Google instead of TCB shows…
