Thanks, Jase05. I have now actually found and booked the return in August in business. Outward on Virgin (45,000 + $0) and return Qantas (41,000 + $40)
Actually I have found a similar cost for an indirect flight on 19th Aug so maybe it's just reduced allocation of award flights and lack of availability.
Thanks BNEFlyer, this was on my laptop. I assume you mean using the velocity app on your phone. I have just tried that with the same result, admittedly I haven't looked at lots of dates. The few available business reward seats have come up at 35,500 points + $641 or 142,700 points. That's much...
In the past when I have applied for a business reward ticket SYD to PER, I have been shown either no availability or the appropriate number of required points plus the applicable taxes. I now want to try to find a business reward seat SYD to PER and am flexible with dates but it seems there has...
Earlier this year Velocity was offering 30% off redemption bookings and I got a great deal booking flights. Does anyone know whether Velocity do this on a regular or semi-regular basis and if so roughly how often?
TIA
Do these payment methods earn frequent flyer points directly or via an award scheme? What is the frequent flyer point earn rate per $ - say for Qantas and Velocity? Their fees are a bit higher than ATO direct but if the FF earn rate is significantly higher then it might be worth while. Also I...
Ok so now I have to work out whether the ATO card processing fee (0.77% for m/card/Visa) is worth the award points. If I am paying a tax bill of $25k this works out to a fee of ~ $190. My $25k spend would yield 25k award points which can be converted to 12.5k Velocity points. If I sign up to the...
My CBA Business card has a system of capping points yet it seems they still won't give award points for payments to ATO by bpay. Might have to move bank or just accept a fee will be paid via ATO portal - their charges are pretty low anyway.
Probably because the banks can't charge a fee for bpay. If I use the ATO card payment portal, there's a fee added to the payment but using bpay there isn't. I suspect the above mentioned payment apps also add a fee but please let me know if they don't.
Some years ago I took out a CBA business mastercard because it allowed points for paying ATO quarterly payments. For various reasons I haven't checked up on my award account until today and it looks like I have not been earning points from any of my payments but especially not my ATO payments...
Hi, I am planning a trip from Sydney to Wellington in October and after all the negative press regarding Qantas, I'm interested in exploring other options. I would like to consider buying an economy Air NZ seat and then trying to get an upgrade using points. Can I apply for an upgrade using Sing...
Can anyone help me with the contact number to transfer points out of my previous Altitude Amex account? Got the letters a while ago and have received my new Elevate Platinum Amex card but in the middle of renos so can't find the letter(s). Think there was a cut-off date for on-line transferring...
