So here is all the information I've been able to accumulate regarding RTW Krisflyer: - 35 000 miles max travel distance - 12 months to complete journey - 16 segments - 7 stopovers - stopover = transit longer than 24 hours - can only move east or west around the world. - world is split into 3...

Thanks Dave! Hey, maybe the best thing to come from all the kerfuffle was this:

Count me in too! PM sent. Thank you Dave.

Edit - Don't worry. I figured it out. For those who have issues calculating, like I apparently do, make sure you calculate as follows: 'CitiRewards Points' x (2/3) = X /0.5 = 'Grossed up CitiRewards Points' Therefore, the compensation amount should be the 'Grossed up CitiRewards Points' less...

Big thanks to smit0847! 110k hit my account. Also, I shared your link around to 7/8 friends so hopefully you got some bonus points there! If anyone would like to us my referral link, that would be fantastic...

Has anyone received the bonus 50k points? I applied for all three, approved and hit the min spend for 2 of the 3. ANZ rewards is only showing my points earned from spending and no bonuses as yet (and the cards have had their first statements already).

Re: Velocity Amex -110,000 POINTS, return free flight,4 lounge passes, travel insuran What about people from Darwin? Are they not 'people', Amex?

Re: Velocity Amex -110,000 POINTS, return free flight,4 lounge passes, travel insuran FYI - from the previous thread, I applied on Wed 1st July, no text message of approval but card arrived in the mail today! Are people calling to confirm they will get the 110k points even being existing card...

Re: Velocity Amex – 80,000 points, return free flight, lounge passes, travel insuranc Thanks Smit! Still no approval/rejection yet. Applied Wednesday 1st July.

Re: Velocity Amex – 80,000 points, return free flight, lounge passes, travel insuranc Large credit card limits but no cc debt and very comfortably met the income minimum. Its the large credit card limits that has me worried. Is there any rule of thumb that people use for this? As in, you...

Re: Velocity Amex – 80,000 points, return free flight, lounge passes, travel insuranc I applied Wednesday night, still not text :S. Should I be worried or is it likely they've been hammered with applications?

I'm in the same boat. Would love to hear anyone's experience with applying for Amex cards with bonuses when you already have an Amex card.

Anyone applied more recently and managed to get the 60k bonus? How did I miss this one....

Quick update - called up (struggled to hear/understand - line wasn't great). Dude pretty much locked the flights up straight away (no issue with the second leg turning from available to waitlisted. SO did not have her middle name on my nominee list, so he put the itinerary on hold and emailed me it.

That works, thanks! I've mulled what SponsorSFC had written over. I get it now. For any noobs (like myself) reading this, take what SponsorSFC said: and now this makes sense: Because anytime you confirm one leg (of the two leg journey), the other will be waitlisted. I struggled with this...
