Officially knocked down to SG this morning. Displaying in the app.

I've made 2 bookings recently. Used my last 2 platinum business upgrades with flex fares. So easy to find, booked for one though. My personal favourite perk of WP by far.
Mine you your paying for them as opposed free as my flex bookings were ~$80 more than choice. Although MEL - CNS top value.

For later in year so not applicable for current offer.

The sky is falling!! Mass panic!! Failure! Customers leaving in the MILLIONS!! It’s obvious for everyone to see!!
Seems that the "hundreds of thousands" of velocity members didn't leave.......
Weird.
I thought they were all walking out the door to QF.

I've got 251 SCs to earn by the end of July to maintain WP. I registered for the bonus SCs through my business but none of those have been credited so far - I would assume the total you get is based on the flying you do in the window so I'm nut sure when that ends (can't be coughd checking) however that should give me another chunk of SCs to get me closer. I've got two trips to NZ before my cut off date plus a few SYD-BNE but am missing my long term earner of SYD-BNE-TSV as a project has been on hold for a while. I'd get there easily with that.

Oh and in other news I just got halfway to lifetime GOLD!!!!!!!
(zero chance of getting there I'd say considering how much I've flown to get this far)

The travel period was through to 31 March, so you'd assume that they'd be credited some time in April.
 
I’m sitting at 2940 AFTER pooling.
And I’m Gold/PPS with SQ and Gold with Qatar…..
Still doesn't top 2018 where I hit 6900 after multiple flights to LAX & HKG in J on double SCs.
If SkyTeam is of interest you could credit some to VS and get STEP which I find handy

I'm also half way there, though would be three quarters of the way if it weren't for the stupid 75% VA requirement!

Notably, Velocity's active members grew 11% compared to Qantas' growth of 7%. So it's certainly not clear that people are leaving Velocity in droves for Qantas.
