    Long wait for refund for cancelled reward flights Qantas - a common experience?

    Cancelled two separate bookings last week: 2x tickets on QF, points refunded within 5-7 hours, taxes refunded after 2 days. 2x tickets on CX, points refunded after 5 days, taxes refunded after 7 days Pleasantly surprised as I had spent 6 months trying to get taxes back for another flight...

    Why BA (Executive Club)?

    Bugger, booked in August 2023 and also showing 787-9. I couldn't see anywhere saying the swap to 777 was limited time only so would we expect the flights next year to be changed to 777 too?

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Interesting development last night, I received this email from Qantas saying I have 0 categories left! Both app and website still showing 4/5 leaves though and no points deducted so definitely some kind of breakdown in their system.

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Pretty much in the same situation here, offset applied 4 weeks ago with points through MMB. Interestingly when I called up, the person on the phone said that they could see I had completed the offset and have my 5th leaf, and that my app wasn't refreshed. Wasn't very helpful but I think easier...

    Has anyone successfully called up and had the flight offset leaf credited? I applied mine after booking and it's been about 3 weeks, not sure if it will need some manual intervention.

    Redemption on Air Canada - booking reference error

    I found that the wait time wasn't too bad for that number, 5-10 min usually. Maybe with the Canadian GP on this weekend they are getting more calls than usual!

    Redemption on Air Canada - booking reference error

    So a while ago I gave up and cancelled my flight, opting for a booking the day before instead. Just received the dreaded flight change email from both Virgin and Air Canada, however my booking is still working (for now). Virgin even emailed me the new e-tickets without me having to call up...

    Redemption on Air Canada - booking reference error

    Yep... you'd think it should be fairly straight forward! I've spoken to AC quite a few times - I think it's just the one guy that always answers, he's generally pretty helpful but he tells me that since the ticket is issued by VA and not AC he doesn't have much control over it. I'm thinking of...

    Redemption on Air Canada - booking reference error

    Hi Matt, the only thing I can do with the Air Canada PNR is to view my booking, when I click on anything within the booking such as select seats for example it just leads me to an error page. I've been contacting Velocity since February and the only thing they tell me that it's escalated and it...

    Redemption on Air Canada - booking reference error

    Hi folks, I booked a couple of J reward tickets with Air Canada, however my e-ticket has been exchanged 3 or 4 times since booking as the departure times keep changing. The problem however is that my Air Canada booking reference is still linked(?) to the original e-ticket number and despite...

    How long did Qantas take to process your refund for cancelled flights?

    Cancelled at the start of March (award redemption with WestJet), called up after 6 weeks and only got 1 of the 2 passenger points refunded. Advised to call back again 8 weeks after cancellation to chase up taxes.

    Air Canada Business Reward fees

    Thanks Matt! I actually just got off the phone with Virgin and they were able to book it for me with only $41 taxes, so looks like a glitch in the system. I did have to make multiple calls though as the first operator advised me that $728 is correct and based off seat availability!!

    Air Canada Business Reward fees

    Hey folks, I'm looking at redeeming what's left of my VA points around Canada next year, however there seems to be a big discrepancy in fees, especially Montreal to Vancouver. YUL -> YVR, 38000 pts + $728.90 (A330) YUL -> LAX, 53000 pts + $105 (A330) Out of Toronto the fees look quite...

    Long wait for refund for cancelled reward flights Qantas - a common experience?

    Oh yes you're right, they are flights departing HKG, BUD and TPE o_O. I guess i'll call up again to follow up next week once it goes past 10 business days. Cheers.
