    Bupa offering up to 100k Velocity Points

    Lol. My partner received a different offer from Bupa, 6 weeks free this year and another 6 weeks next year (something like that). They’re obvious desperate to gain back a heap of business they lost recently due to the media. Thanks for the heads up re HI thread, I wasn’t sure whether to post...

    Virgin America NY-LA

    You should be able to book seats using velocity points until 30 Sep BUT from my own personal experience I had trouble getting availability online so I called velocity to book. I’m not sure if that has since changed. “6. Velocity Points cannot be redeemed on Virgin America flights for travel...

    Etihad F - SYD to LHR

    I've flown Etihad First a couple of times. I much prefer the 787 Suite to the A380 apartment. I found the bed uncomfortable and the vibration from the crew walking up and down the aisle was very annoying. The seat only reclines so far which makes sense given you have a separate bed but I found...

    Received free upgrade to ANZ Black

    If you haven't had an ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Card in the last 12 months then yes you can apply for the card (new application) and you will qualify for the sign up bonus points. If you 'switch' your card from Rewards to Frequent Flyer then you won't earn the sign up bonus points.

    Qatar Airways announces daily A350-900 flights to Adelaide

    I flew Qatar business class on the new A350 July this year and it was brilliant. 100 x better than EK J IMO.

    QF Fares not correctly advertised on qantas.com.au

    No I tend to book my own travel online instead of through a TA. I printed the fare rules (Business Sale Conditions) from qantas.com.au and there is no mention of travel or ticketing dates.

    QF Fares not correctly advertised on qantas.com.au

    Possibly OzEire although at 10pm last night it said 5 or less seats available on the flights and dates I selected. I also had alternatives dates as a back up plan a month later which were showing plenty of availability.

    QF Fares not correctly advertised on qantas.com.au

    I've been keeping my eye on a promo J class fare BNE-JFK return for $6705 which was available until last night. This morning the fare has increased to over $8k. My issue is there was no "book by/ticket by date" mentioned anywhere on Qantas' website, either on the special fares summary page (Plan...

    Use VA points for Etihad A380 apartment or SQ A380 suite.

    Im pretty sure it's 7500 or $60. I just got back from flying EY First BNE-AUH-LHR and absolutely loved it. So much better than EK. Cabin/Seat, food, service, PJ's, inflight chef - all 10/10 in my opinion. I actually preferred First on the 787 Dreamliner over the huge First Apartment on the A380...

    I'm flying BNE-LHR in First with EY 2 weeks today. Looking forward to experiencing the 787 to AUH and then the larger F cabin on the A380 to London. Excited!

    15% Bonus Pts (to 31 May) and 15% off Reward Seats (to 30 June)

    I've only ever seen 15% and 20%. Of late I think they've all been 15% with the exception of bank specific offers. I'm definitely taking advantage of the 15% bonus points!
