This is a problem easily solved. Buy allocated seats.

Virgin has the data on how many points are being stolen, who is doing it, how they are doing it, and how much money is being lost. I'm sure their people are working on whatever response is appropriate depending on the magnitude of the problem. Velocity is still the most profitable part of their...

If you are Gold now and join Accor Plus now then yes you will remain Gold for another 12 months.

It's easy to say that diversification is the way to go but the points ecosystem in Australia has developed in a way that most people will end up collecting Qantas points and a lot of those people want to go to Europe. You are therefore saying that the whole system is designed to fail.

I'd like to know how the scammers are opening these without damaging the packaging.

Did you return the room key?

My suggestion is to call back Velocity to unlock your account. Open the 7-11 app and log out of your account. Log back in on the 7-11 app and then go through the de-linking process. This worked for me.

Mine posts on the 17th day of each month, which is the same day that I first signed up.

If you join A+ this year and then pay the renewal fee next year then it will extend your status to 2026.

Here's a tip if you have to de-link FlyBuys. Only de-link FlyBuys after Velocity has unblocked your compromised account. You basically have to de-link it live while you are on the phone to Velocity and they have temporarily unblocked your compromised account. If you de-link FlyBuys while your...

It does not.

Room nights will reset to zero on 1 Jan but you will remain Gold until 31/08/25.

Don't bother stocking up if you like booking Accor hotels online.
