GS9891 commented on All Nippon Airways Japan Return Sale: e.g. Perth to Tokyo Return from $1,600 over Christmas / New Years @ Skyscanner
Perth gets ANA direct? Perth? Meanwhile for direct Brisbane has to continue suffering under the Jetstar/Qantas monopoly. (;_; )

GS9891 commented on [QLD] All You Can Eat Buffet - Lunch Only, $14.95 Monday to Thursday @ Pizza Hut (Toowoomba)

GS9891 commented on Japan and South Korea Airfares Sale: from $130 One-Way (e.g. $216.08 Return to Tokyo from Cairns Flying May/June 2026) @ Jetstar
Good deal but bad for Japan. Would prefer $1000 each way to stop the Bali Bogan horde, but alas.

My Inno3D 8800 GTX died after a couple of years, RMA took months and they only gave me a crappier 9800 GT, never again.

kongkee on Westpac Altitude Black Card: 130,000 Points $200 Fee 1st Year ($6k Spend in 120 Days), 50,000 Points $295 Fee 2nd Year

Probably not much point, Westpac seem to hate churners more than any other bank and are very rejection happy.

Oof, 0.5 QFF points per dollar on the Qantas Black card? That's rough for a Level 1 card, wonder if other banks will follow suit. Though at…

Was always a good trick, and still works for 4G now that 3G is dead, with everyone saturating 5G instead at major events yeah.
