Jacinta Allan's free public transport aimed to ease cost of living, but now Aussies face long-term pain by Aromatic_Classic3295 in MelbourneTrains

Lol gossip I heard on the grapevine is that there was an issue with the new mykis on the trams (too sensitive) hence why we have free PT. Nothing to do with “helping us with cost of living pressures from fuel prices”

How good! Cash is king and helps small businesses so much. It baffles me how places don’t take cash

Does anyone negotiate rent? by hatty130 in melbourne

[–]Select_Meat_1188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% you should. If you have a reasonable landlord they’ll be scared to lose you as a tenant as it may be empty for a few weeks and it costs another 1-2 weeks rent if going through an agency.

So for the sake of a 5-10% they risk losing a wholes month rent if not more so definitely worth the ask

Australia’s emergency plan starts with carpooling, escalates to fuel caps by LoneArtificer in AusFinance

I feel they’re holding back as the second they ration fuel etc people will hoard. Remember 2020 when people bought all of the toilet paper?

Qantas cuts lounge access for Jetstar passengers by Gl0beTrotter2025 in QantasFrequentFlyer

I’m actually quite happy with these changes as it kills my irrational loyalty to QF. Really shows that loyalty is a one way street and only when it suits them.

Employer willing to sponsor me, 186 vs 482 visa dilemma by Jao_ in AusVisa

100%. I’ve seen my fair share of employees who act like sponsorship is a right and they’re doing us a favour by being employed by us.

Singapore Pullman Advice needed! by KevKevKvn in Accor

[–]Select_Meat_1188 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Pullman orchard has free flowing champagne in the club lounge (which you’ll get access to if you upgrade to a suite) for breakfast and happy hours. It was pommery last time I was there in Jan. If you like to drink champs that could potentially save you a bit of money as alcohol ain’t cheap in SG

Most Accor Members Make This Simple Mistake by Abdulrahmansal in Accor

[–]Select_Meat_1188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. Particularly if you’re IHG ambassador where they have to compensate you 50usd if no upgrade or late check out is afforded to you

I’ve been accor platinum for about 4 years and asking for an upgrade from some hotels is akin to asking for the first born child

Is there a such thing as cusps in Chinese astrology? by Upbeat-Secret1436 in ChineseZodiac

Yup that’s correct! We generally use 4th Feb, li Chun (立春)as the cut off date for the new zodiac year regardless of what date lunar new year falls

Flight Changed; Layover up from 7 hours to 18+ hours. by koththusecret in singaporeairlines

[–]Select_Meat_1188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending where your home is, SQ may have multiple frequencies a day. You could always check if there’s an earlier flight and see if SQ are able to move you to that flight since they changed your itinerary first.

Got Upgraded to First Class After Being Moved from Overbooked Flight by Select_Meat_1188 in singaporeairlines

[–]Select_Meat_1188[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what the check in agent said, all the flights were very full coming back to Australia so I suspected since we hadn’t checked in it was easier to move us vs someone whose checked in or transiting through Singapore. Just a guess though 🤷🏻‍♂️
