Android has Google Wallet.

Saving to Apple Wallet always works. Seems to be more reliable and easier than the app. I just have to remember to remove them once used as I once tried to board with an old BP :)

I think the issue is that status credits for FlyBuys are always calculated and posted at the end of the month that they are earned. They are never calculated and posted on the day that they are earned as far as I know.

Looks like 3 were required (2A1C) so that is likely why it was waitlisted and not processed immediately. 1673579567 I agree ... definitely worth a call

If you only needed 2 then the points upgrade would have been processed immediately from the reward seats. I suspect they will try to fill the remaining seats with cash pax first. Beyond that it remains a mystery to me.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I can see how the UpgradeMe bid process can be used as a "waiting list" of cash upgrades. Just to clarify, I always check via a dummy booking to see if any business reward sets are available or, at the very least, there are any business seats available in general...

I haven't had much luck with platinum or points upgrades lately either. Unfortunately there has been no availability of business rewards on flights that matched my schedule. Always getting UpgradeMe bid offers though, so business is not booked out at that stage. I have tried from a couple of...

Called this morning after 9:00am to access a complimentary upgrade and was routed overseas as well. There was about a 15 minute wait before being answered so maybe it was simply due to the current capacity and load. Haven't had to call for a while but normally don't have to wait more than a few...

I've just signed and shared also. It would be a real tragedy to see VA disappear. Regardless of their financial issues, all well documented and discussed, I still feel the economic and competitive benefits of having them survive far outweigh the negatives. Ownership issues aside, what they...

This is definitely not just a VA issue. Airlines around the world are under pressure to preserve cash and are even looking at various jurisdictions to relax their rules as far as refunds are concerned. Airlines seek relief from massive $US35 billion ticket refund liability - Airline Ratings

I transferred mine last evening without a hitch. The Transfer Now link seems to still be working on my account in Velocity.

Yep, just pulled the pin as well. 600K VFF points to KF. I was holding out but we're planning to do some trips in the next few years so would hate to have to start again from scratch. Will keep other points parked in CCs until we see what happens. Really hoping VA make it through as I have...

For out last trip in August 2017 we used Thrifty. Picked up the car from Vancouver Airport (YVR) and dropped off at Calgary Airport (YYC) after a week in the Rockies. I'm always a bit nervous with car hire companies, particularly overseas, even though I haven't had any major disasters. However...

Sounds like a fantastic trip. We did a similar road trip a few years back and loved it. You've stirred my desire to go back again. We travelled from Vancouver to Jasper staying at Blue River on the way. Stayed 2 nights in Jasper. Then headed south down to Banff along the Icefields Hwy staying 2...

I received the double points offer on Tuesday. Currently I'm Gold but just about to go back to Plat. Did a lot of VA flights in the first half of the year but slowed down recently with just 2 bookings currently in the system for the next couple of months. I have some more business travel to...
