    Intercontinental Hotel, Sanctuary Cove

    Your experience sounds fantastic. Unfortunately, you need an invite to RA. I stayed early in the year as a Platinum IHG member and PP holder and got virtually no recognition. Not entirely sure why Silver, Gold, Platinum exist. They might represent loyalty but loyalty doesn't amount to much...

    Anyone WP from Y only?

    All Y for me. With help from a couple of promos, wife on partner Plat and daughter on Gold.

    Virgin Mobile Now offering Free International Flight

    Amaysim is pretty compelling. I resent paying Telstra well over $100 for unlimited (still no OS or Premium). However, this is for a fleet. If Amaysim had direct account managers and support and tools for managing a fleet.....

    Virgin's little secret

    of all the people on this forum I always that you had the closest thinking to mine. I guess not in this case ;) there is a difference to specifically working out an offer and offering it, even if you didn't work it out correctly, to having something break down and put out offers that we're...

    Virgin Flyer 2-For-1

    Maybe VA need a best price guarantee on their own flights when purchased direct.

    Virgin's little secret

    Even if you didn't know the whole Sabre story, the give away fares are clearly due to a system error, although you might be able to justify some of the other heavily discounted ones. Reasonableness always seems to go out the window when money is involved. No one will like it, but I am going to...

    HHonors Gold/Diamond for Velocity Gold/Plat

    Good luck with that. Was told I couldn't use it because I had booked something other than an I20 (CDAR) evidently the I20 3-door is different. Talk about nit pick. Also, didn't meet the conditions due to the term of the booking, booked from Thursday and they couldn't just credit the weekend...

    Virgin Flyer 2-For-1 - Significant negative changes from Dec 1

    And how has the 2 4 1 been exploited. You buy one you get one free. That's not a loophole. And people are voting with their feet. Not enough to make a difference though.

    Virgin Flyer 2-For-1 - Significant negative changes from Dec 1

    For me a $200 difference would prevent us travelling as a family when we otherwise would have. If your happy just cancelling out the cost of the card there are plenty free cards on he market. I do see what your saying and a saving is a saving, but I'm sure they'll be happy to reduce the...

    Virgin to increase fares re fuel costs fm 22 Aug

    Price increase across the board August 22 That's got to be hard to justify when we are seeing so many issues. Not to mention prices have already significantly increased since Sabre.

    Booking Complimentary Fare Upgrades for Platinum Velocity members

    All of mine have been into Z regardless of points or complimentary or done in the lounge or calling ahead of time. No difference.

    Virgin Flyer 2-For-1 - Significant negative changes from Dec 1

    Well, they do have several card levels already, but the T&C's are the same. They could have taken the opportunity to differentiate them further. As far as savings go, savings are only achieved if you where going to travel anyway, making extra trips because the price is good is not really a...

    Virgin Australia’s free Wireless In-flight Entertainment system

    Re: Virgin WIFi IFE I agree with your comments too, but it is still nice to see some niceties in recognition of a lot of travel and a big spend. At this moment, as commented, the in the air experience is pretty much identical regardless of the loyalty level. To suggest frequent flyers should...

    Priority Privilege worth it?

    Ok. Thank you for the correction markis10. Don't want to lead anyone up the garden path. Must be confusing with Advantage Plus who make a point of spelling out the benefits of 2 memberships.

    Virgin Australia’s free Wireless In-flight Entertainment system

    Re: Virgin WIFi IFE I have to agree completely. Seems pointless to give VA all your business to get to Platinum when a Gold level would be sufficient. Same seat choice, same lounge access, same priority boarding, same lack of personal service. Probably best to spend the minimum to keep Gold...

    Priority Privilege worth it?

    I don't see how. Its a feature of the product that more than one card can be used to maintain the higher discount level when there is a group of people. eg 4 people 25% 4 people 2 cards 50%.

    Virgin Australia’s free Wireless In-flight Entertainment system

    Re: Virgin WIFi IFE Ok swanning_it. I evidently don't have your charm. I asked for one and the FA said she would see what she could do. Returned indicating she was told she was not to give me, but if it was up to her she would. :( I haven't flown with Qantas. Would IFE be a standard...
