After 12 years at Platinum, mine has just dropped back to Gold this week. I have stopped flying with VA after a series of blunders. I received a few 'offers' to retain my status, but you'd think at some point they'd ask "why has he stopped flying with us?" JASON

Had the same experience last week Brisbane to Perth where I scored a middle seat for 5.5hrs. Furthermore, once they allocate you an economy seat your boarding pass shows the fare class 'Y'. At the gate there was a no show in business but they wouldn't let me have it because to them it showed I...

I am confused about the Qantas spend and receive offer as I thought this was seperate to the usual annual credit I receive with my Qantas Ultimate card. ($450 Qantas Flight Credit) I contacted AMEX and the agent told me the current spend then receive value back as credit up to $450 replaces the...

I just found my account has been suspended also although no notification from Velocity. I don't do family transfers and haven't redeemed for a long time so no idea what prompted this. I have an international trip within the next week and it concerns me I may not be able to access partner lounges...

Don't get me started on schedule/aircraft changes. I recently came back to QF after 8yrs of not flying with them, so here's my welcome back package. 1, BNE-PER in business on A330 downgraded to 737 2. SYD-HNL-SYD business changed from A330 to a stinking old 747 3. BNE-MEL & MEL-BNE both...

Hello Apologies if this has come up in conversation before. I am weeks away form anniversary date and was on target to move up to QF Platinum. I have had two flights with AA in USA this week, both booked/paid in First (aka Business), one aircraft downgrade with no First seats and another...

I recently applied for a Velocity High Flyer Visa (issued by Citi) with the lure of 120,000 bonus points for spending $3,000 a month to receive 40,000 points for the first 3 months. The catch is.......the advertising and terms and conditions state spend for bonus is per MONTH, whereas in actual...

I had a flight booked BNE-PER on A330 with Flex fare and points upgrade. When checking in via Qantas app I noticed a seat change and realised this was due a change to a 737. I re-booked with VA on an A330 same day using platinum upgrade. With upgrade attached I couldn't cancel online, so called...

I just booked a whole lot of flights last week, but I am going to try to see if cancelling the flex flights and booking a new one will score me the bonus

VA emailed me options for changes and I called them and they allowed me to re-route via MEL to be on an A330 for the PER sector. QF just sent me an email telling me I was now confirmed on a 737 flight and that's it. The option to change on to a connecting A330 flight would be at my cost I imagine.

QF BNE-PER VA PER-MEL

In the past 2 days I have been advised of both flights to and from PER, QF one way and VA the other have BOTH been downgraded. Business in a 737 is just no comparison to business in the A330.

I had the same problem when I updated my details and when I called to investigate Qantas Money (Citibank) took it upon themselves to block the merchant because they thought that a $1 pre-authorisation was a suspicious transaction. They went through and lifted the block on each of them but I am...

I received my card less than a week from application date. The 'benefits' are really of no value to me. 1. I am Gold status so I already have lounge access, 2. The insurance doesn't provide adequate cover compared to most general travel insurance policies, so I would end up purchasing...
