AppleLime on 50% off Domestic Flights from $29 to/from MEL, SYD | $109 to Bali, $89 to Kuala Lumpur, $299 Chengdu Return @ Trip.com

Trip is brilliant. I've booked trains, flights, accom. After a few bookings, they gave me bonus status, which got me free lounge passes,…

This is just plain irresponsible. Spain does not want tourists.

If they can quickly get another 6 million members, then they can claim "only" 50% of members got hacked - much better than the current 100%.

mulimulix on 20% off All Eurail Global Passes (Valid for Travel from September 1) @ Eurail

True - although when I clicked on shopback link the other night it didn't work (store unavailable) and I didn't try it subsequently. Thanks…

Just in case you were tempted to book with klook, who usually has lower prices, I've checked several times over the past couple of weeks…

Eh? Isn't OzB both family and life?

Even if pensioners are keeping up with CPI - prices are way ahead of CPI for EVERYONE - it's completely bogus. Everyone is suffering with…

Only Vic residents? Or can tourists claim the dosh as well?

Dany Boy 99 on Singapore Airlines Round The World CNS $1574, ADL $1582, MEL $1623, DRW $1625, BNE $1627, SYD $1706 @ IWTF

You can't even transit thru the USA without paying them for a visa. Outrageous. Even without that fee, there'd be airport fees, and so I…

Mannequin. Stargate. Rewatched both recently to see how Reddington changed over the years.

tsunamisurfer on Suggestion for Classic 80s and 90's Movies That Is Suitable for 10-12 Year Old

Eh? You showed your kids Star Wars, which they didn't like, so you got rid of the kids??? Nice!

jrvb42 commented on Open a Westpac Business One Account, Deposit Min $100 in 1 Transaction within 10 Days, Receive $100 Bonus Deposit @ Westpac
Couldn't retrieve company details using ACN, and couldn't simply not enter an ACN, so that's going nowhere fast.

jrvb42 commented on Open an Everyday Unlimited KickStart Account, Transact 3 Times by 31/7, Get $50 (Under 18s & Student/Trainee 18-30) @ IMB Bank
Potentially, you could be up for the monthly fee, yet NOT get the $50 if IMB decide to reject based on age/student status - no mention of…

Hmm. Couldn't even get past the first page - sending an sms verification. They might not like people who have a VPN. I was "invited" to go…

jrvb42 commented on Skybus Melbourne CBD ↔ MEL Airport Express $18.83 One Way, $31.51 Return (Non Refundable QR Code) @ Agoda
Just use public transportation and ditch these price gougers all together. $5 gets you anywhere in the city, not just to southern cross.

CheapFlightHunter on China Southern: Amsterdam from BNE $1157, MEL $1163, SYD $1170 Return with 2x23kg Checked Bags @ Google Flights

Anything to do with flight centre makes me feel LESS secure. Some of their branches (Townsville) have the worst customer service out there,…

wethersaus on China Southern: Amsterdam from BNE $1157, MEL $1163, SYD $1170 Return with 2x23kg Checked Bags @ Google Flights

Yes, numerous times. IMHO, a good airline, certainly better than China eastern (that's not hard), but not up there with the 5* mob. I'd say…

So, nothing to compensate fare dodgers for the poor service then? Typical! Oh, wait...

Ah, so you plan to make crap trades less than one percent of the time.

Sounds like you might be better off getting a "cheap" cabinet and then laying a top over it that can hold the 100kg TV. Or.... Do the sums…
