I had just under 1.4m Velocity points in my account until recently. I transferred most of them to Krisflyer and then redeemed them for 2x J SYD to LHR and 2x F CDG to SYD for our birthdays and wedding anniversary next year. This was always the planned use of them but took longer to organise due...

I would say that both Qantas and Virgin would very keen for us to spend our points on gift cards if they are such poor value. This gives them a very nice margin and removes a lot of points/value from their balance sheets. One gives them a boost to the P&L and the other a boost to the balance...

levelnine, thanks for the info. That is unfortunate that they only release seats close to departure, as this was to be the first leg of a large 10/11 week trip (Canada/Ireland/Scotland/England/Germany/France/Singapore). Might have to skip visiting my brother in Canada if I can't secure seats...

I the last 3 years I have been looking, I have never found a single business rewards seat available on the Velocity website. They are all cash seats quoted in points. I will be availing myself of the concierge service in a couple of months to try to get 2 business seats to Halifax NS.

How could anyone fall for this. There are 2 distinct giveaways, apart from the url. Qantas would never say "we are are excited to show our appreciation to our loyal customers" and "we hope this token of our gratitude brings joy to your day"😜

I'd add Spain into the mix.

I know what you mean. I got my car back from the repairers 22/3 from the accident I had 9/1. Now Europcar are trying to sting me $450 for a professional car clean of the hire car saying it was too dirty when I returned it.

Current offer is 13,000 points for $145 x 4 That was after finishing last offer of 10,000 points for $115 x 4 last sunday.

My best discount is 50c per litre but regularly get 20-30c per litre. When I got the 50c one, the operator at the 7-11 congratulated me on such a great saving.

@appaz, I got an email this morning inviting me to apply for this card. In the email, it said to allow 6-8 weeks for the 50,000 bonus aeroplan points to credit to your account (if you pick aeroplan as your status airline).

I have had this happen a few times. It always seemed to work out fine, but I always kept the receipt just in case. Also sometimes week one lasts for more than a week and it waits until the end of the qualifying period. With my current deal, the first week runs from 17/11 - 26/11.

Yep I will be ordering a case of this when I get home tonight.

This is currently on special at Dan's (if a member for $99.95)

Thanks prozac, will get onto it.

4x $230/10k or 4x$280/20k for me. Will get the 10k, not sure if I'll reach the 20k though.

Just a thought, as the Olympics are in Paris next year could this have any affect on availability? Why would they release too much reward bookings if they can sell to passengers going to Olympics? I have been looking for flights to Europe too and haven't found any.

I was only looking at this exact tour last Thursday. I have added it along with a few others already mentioned for our big Europe trip in 2025. I have also looked into going to the castle featured in the movie "Where Eagles Dare" (not too far from Eagles Nest I believe). I have thoroughly...

Yes, Fosters is a new partner. They will be supplying Fosters on board for free, as no one is going to willingly pay for it.

I am looking at booking a Star Alliance RTW reward trip using krisflyer points. I have a couple of questions: I'm hoping for the trip to be as follows. Sydney, Halifax, Dublin, Glasgow, London, Berlin, Vienna, Zurich, Paris, Singapore and Sydney (which includes some land legs). 1. If I want to...

Has he been drinking that much bubbles in the lounge he needs to go to AA?
