Are you related to Shane Warne? That's some impressive spin right there!

Haha must be virgins version of a burrito No tortilla, no meat, no cheese, no sour cream, no guacamole. No thanks!

Ahh that explains it. I'm guessing there must be some protein hidden behind the salad somewhere.

I must be blind but I can't see a burrito, only a plate of salad?

Yup I had a sneaking suspicion that 2x Qmiles wasn't a good sign. Thanks for the info, at least now I know what I need to find haha

Ok I'm unsure if I'm doing it right but when I check for a certain date it shows me that it's available to book using Q miles. The total would be 228000 Q MILES + 182.00AUD for one way SYD to LAX via DOH. Does that mean it would be eligible for the upgrade using credits? Would I have to call up...

So I'm thinking of a going SYD to LAX via DOH, but I'm unsure how to check whether there is any availability to use my 60 Q credits for an upgrade?

Yup I got this email too. But seems like they are just randomly announcing the previous extension again which is pretty confusing. My tier review date is still exactly the same...

Yup I didn't receive the bonus double SC either. Big surprise.

I'm in the exact same category as you. It's my own fault for not taking advantage of the offer. In the end I think I'll still requalify for platinum by my review date of 31/5/22 but I could have saved a lot of money otherwise.

There used to always be one at the start of the year, but I've been out of the loop since covid hit

Same here. Shows how little ive been using my flybuys card at coles in recent months. I probably won't even take up this offer unless I receive another offer to stack with it in the first week.

Makes sense. I mean it's only halfway through January. I remember the days when status credits would load on the 5th day of the following month without fail, I thought it was just an automated process back then. Guess it's all manually done nowadays?

Anyone actually get their SC for December? I know I haven't.

This is always the case it seems. Even when covid isn't the driving force they are only too happy to cancel/consolidate when it makes fiscal sense on their end

Is there a set standard for which flights get dessert served with the meal and which don't? I'm assuming it based on distance or flight time.

I'd say wait and see what the United partnership offers. Likely to be the easiest way to use velocity points to go to the states, going forward.

The tortellini looks incredible cheesy! Now I feel even worse about missing out on it twice recently lol

Well that's just it, that sort of regular weekly domestic flying plus a couple of international trips per year which you describe is more than enough to get you to platinum comfortably without family pooling anyway. If someone is relying on family pooling in order to scrape by with the points...

Yeah too bad you can't pool sectors. Still needing 8 sectors on VA metal I imagine would all but negate a lot of the benefit from family pooling.
