    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    For first uear, I think you get the vouchers quickly after qualification. For requal, you get the vouchers at the end (maybe a few weeks later) of the membership.

    Qantas Ripper Fare Difference Charge

    Coincidently, 2000$ is quite close to 7200$ - 5274$ + a change fee. Maybe 7200$ was the new fare after all?

    Schedule change by 5 mins - do I need a new eticket?

    Update on my small BA schedule change on my QF award (arriving 10 min later, for same departure time): Clicking on "accept" change did the trick, I received the new itinerary within minutes. The ticket numbers have changed, so it was re-ticketed. Overall, I am surprised the IT worked. Makes me...

    Qantas Ripper Fare Difference Charge

    What happens if you were to simulate a new booking with your 2 weeks earlier, keeping your return date? How much would that cost, keeping the fare class the same of course (i.e. if you booked flexi, stay in flexi, if you book sales fare, stay in sales fare or pick above if sales fare are gone)...

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    I didnt get the survey. I think most of us suffer from the lack of award. A simple way to fix that is to allow transfer to velocity. Even at 2:1. Anyone feels like dropping this suggestion on the survey?

    Many Velocity Partner Redemptions Becoming Unattainable

    I think your screenshot is not showing reward seats, but the point+pay (or whatever it's called in Velocity) cost. Also, you may try to search departing from MEL or SYD instead of CBR

    Card Promotions Velocity Flyer Card: 25,000 Velocity Pts (with $1500 Spend Each Month) for 4 Months, $129 Virgin Voucher, $64 Fee @ Virgin Money

    Card received today, however the last letter of my last name is missing (it's a short first + last name). Called virgin money, they claim it's my mistake, and explained me the process to fix it, which is a bit involved. This error needs fixing, as otherwise the name + VFF number won't match. I...

    Schedule change by 5 mins - do I need a new eticket?

    I have been advised (by Hobart) that no re-ticket was necessary for a similar small schedule change on a BA flight booked with Qantas point, that was last year. Only the arrival time was changed, not the departure, I don't know if this matters or not. Is your departure time the same? I have been...

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    Data point: my DSC havent posted yet. My flight is in 6 months. My status anniversary is 12 of March and I really need those 33 SC to requal bronze. Which year will my SC count for? Should I contact Qantas in 8 weeks as per t&cs?

    Qantas ruined our rewards booking 2 weeks before flying

    I can t beleive the seat convertion got declined. I would have swear that once you talk to the right person, things would get fixed, but apparently even there Qantas is falling appart. There is still some hope though.

    Qantas cancelled my Air France classic award flight without refund or notification - what are my options?

    Not good. Not that common that a ticketed flight auto-cancel. What may have happened is a change of scheduled, maybe, that would have required a re-ticketing, of which Qantas is notoriously hopeless. Check the time (and flight number) to see if something has changed. This only help identify the...

    Reward seats no longer available to book since website changes? Or is it just me?

    Sounds frustrating. What does expertflyer or seats.aero say for thos rewards? I read seats.aero should be free for up to two month booking yo check those award seats. Have you try both website and mobile app?

    Qantas T-80 no longer a thing?

    Ok, maybe a glitch on that booking. Always had access to Emerald city in the past as a WP. Anyway, I am on the bassinet seats for this booking (to be clear, the front J cabin was blocked before I added the infant to the booking, so unrelated).
