    Latest VA member survey to plan future "enhancements"

    I received that one as well. Completed the survey, telling them at every opportunity in every free text field what an appalling money-grab of an idea it is.

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Thanks for the detailed explanation, very helpful ! I've booked and flown numerous codeshare flights in the past on various airlines, but found it confusing that a destination would be available to book as a reward seat, but not as a revenue fare. Unfortunate, but there it is.. I'm not...

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Yes, as a codeshare revenue flight, not with points so I'd never searched with the latter - how bizarre that Cody comes up as an available destination for rewards seats, but not as a revenue fare! Only dates scattered here and there too of course, being rewards seats, so availability is...

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    If I understand @Atleastonce's question correctly, the problem is I think they are wanting to add an internal domestic flight within the US to their itinerary, not a flight from the US back to Australia? I have a similar issue in looking for flights for a holiday I'm taking to the US in 2025...

    Latest information about 28 degrees card

    Not always. I received a replacement card last year after a previous card expired, can’t remember which bank/provider it was as I have several credit/debit cards, but I was horrified when it said in the letter that “there’s nothing you need to do, the card is already activated” as if they were...

    Latest information about 28 degrees card

    Doesn't exactly fill you with confidence, does it? I called Latitude this morning and they told me they've now put an approval on the system and to tell the merchant to try again, so I've sent an email off to the accommodation provider in the US and asked them to try to put it through, but...

    Latest information about 28 degrees card

    Trying to pay a deposit with a US accommodation provider I've used my 28 Degrees card with before. They emailed me to say the transaction was declined, and almost simultaneously I received an SMS from Latitude checking whether the transaction was genuine. Replied yes, and received automated...

    CBR-SYD-ADL in J - SCs less than advertised

    Thanks for the update, great to hear they're FINALLY fixing this issue. Not before time though, seeing as it's been a problem for at least 4 years.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    CBA was it? They don't offer a callback service of any kind, no matter what the customer's circumstances. They also still have listed on their website "you can call this number reverse charge from overseas, just contact the international operator in the country you're calling from ...."...

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    Hi everyone Mr Jurahn is travelling MEL-DOH on QR989 on 1/7/23 @ 3:20pm, currently booked in Y. Could someone please have a look at this flight and advise loadings in J? He's been able to upgrade on his connecting flight DOH-ARN, but is hoping to be able to upgrade the much longer MEL-DOH...

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Ah yes, I can see them for that date/flight , I hadn’t checked that date. Came across one other later in the month. Good to know there’s at least some availability about.

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Which dates have you seen those on, if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve tried doing some random searches on various dates throughout May, but can only find Y reward, every date (and flights where it states reward seats) says J reward unavailable?

    CBR-SYD-ADL in J - SCs less than advertised

    Sorry to hear you had to go through the same rigmarole again, but it doesn't surprise me, and neither does the response you initially received when you called. When I had to call to follow up the email I sent, after no reply for nearly two weeks, the CSO (who was GREAT, by the way) told me...
