I received Velocity points early 2023 through a Ready Credit offer from late 2022. I didn't close the account until maybe April 2023. I then applied for a new Ready Credit account in November 2023 based on the 70,000 QFF points offer. Made the qualifying bank transfer on 29 December. No email...

Thanks Teddy. Your advice is helpful. The 'flight application' rules look odd (perhaps only to a non travel agent!) but seem to require travel between (a) Australia and Japan, (b) Australia and Hong Kong AND (c) Australia and Singapore (i.e. the journey is defined as having 'and' rather than...

Hi all My family and I are planning a trip to the US and Canada for Christmas 2024. Had been considering using points to redeem business class tickets but failing that, I have found an airfare via Expert Flyer that seems too good to be true so thought I'd turn to the community for advice. The...

Have just tried a payment to Hostplus using Sniip. Will see how it goes.

Their live chat helped me with this. If you transferred from a joint bank account to a Superhero account in your name alone, they'll ask for a copy of a bank statement for the relevant bank account. Reminds me of the processes that online gambling companies have in place. Dodgy this isn't...

Spend $100 (one or more transactions within a week) and get 3,000 points

Got my points yesterday (first few trades made on Tuesday). Net cost $39.

Both referrer and new customer get US$10 worth of Tesla shares if the referral conditions are met

All sound in principle except buying and selling Australian ETFs incurs no brokerage fee and thus won't make you eligible for the QFF points.

That's how I read it. Risk of shares falling in value though. Unsure whether there is a minimum holding period for whatever shares you buy.

Thanks for the tips. Might need a phone call to KF. I'm trying to secure Velocity Gold as it's achievable given my Silver starting point with Velocity (no status at all with SQ/KF).

Hi all I'm flying to Europe in August with SQ. I booked in May and added my Krisflyer frequent flyer number to the booking. I've decided I should instead accumulate points to Velocity. Each time over recent days when I have tried to update the booking to replace my KF number with my Velocity...

(Hopefully) A quick question about cancellation of a OneWorld award: Am I right to interpret the T&Cs as requiring a full refund of points if ticket is cancelled until the day before departure, and no refund of points at all if cancelled on the day of departure or after travel has commenced...

Can anyone say whether the destinations/stops on a OneWorld Award ticket can be changed after the trip has started? Thanks in advance.

I note the rule reproduced below: 14.5.4 The following Stopover conditions apply to oneworld Classic Flight Rewards: (a) up to five free Stopovers are permitted; (b) additional Stopovers are not permitted; (c) only one Stopover is permitted in any one city in the Itinerary; and (d) only two...
