    Velocity Amex platinum- Business class offer

    And to add to this. I tried to book my free flight today. The only flights they will let you book are the saver fares, and of course for the destinations you can choose average around the $110 mark. Again, not enticing, and yes, is in the conditions. Just would have preferred to be able to...

    How often is your card compromised by fraudsters?

    Probably once every two years. Most recent last year in October after a trip to the US. Got a 5.30am sms from my bank asking them to contact me, two days after my arrival home. A quick look at online banking, and I jumped on the phone. Three txns totalling over $13,000 made at the same location...

    Status Credit Statement and review

    Yes, I have the "show detail", but it doesn't really provide what I am after. Maybe as platinum we get less :)

    Status Credit Statement and review

    Hi All, Two things here if I may be so bold :) Firstly: In the past IIRC I was able to view my VA status credit history separate to the current history shown online. It would show when status credits would drop off as minus on the status credit statement. I can not seem to locate where to find...

    Velocity Amex platinum- Business class offer

    I would have to agree with everything you have mentioned here. I took the 200 status credits and 25000 bonus points and 6 months interest free offer...was all this worth $349?? Maybe, actually yes...and to boot, I have not been charged the annual fee. As for renewal, not likely, at an earn of...

    Go Platinum or pool my points to my partner?

    I am WP, and my wife who is not had a BP for a flight that day, I was not travelling. I was able to take her to priority check in, into the lounge, with me, then through security. The reverse also happened where she was allowed into the lounge with me on a day I was travelling and she was not...

    Tiger app, pretty simple and easy.

    I did not enjoy my tiger experience. No online or even kiosk checkin meantI had to stand in line amd wait for 40 minutes to check in, then wait another 45 minutes for boarding. It took off and landed on time, but the extra time required pre take off was crazy and like the rest of us, I had...

    Tiger app, pretty simple and easy.

    I am taking a flight MEL to SYD for the day, and with the fares they were offering I struggled to justify the massive price difference. A return fare for the price DJ or QF charge for a one way sector. Now this may all change when I have the experience tomorrow, and may just never try it...

    Virgin LAX Lounge

    My experience late November, pre in lounge booze, was good. I hated that there was no shower, I had just come from 5 hours of travel, and still had 3 hours to wait and would have loved a shower. Considered going to the other terminal to see if I could jump into Delta rooms??Not sure if they migt...

    Is Premium Economy that much better than Economy?

    Great response - I shall stick with my row 10 allocation - and hope to see the love :) Out of interest, I did see some comments about the bar/shelf not being stocked during the flight (I think due to overwhelming use by some) Was this your experience?

    Delta Booking reference not showing on checkmytrip

    I have *not* seen the word Amadeus on the bottom of the booking details - that is a tad annoying. Thanks for the info - if it don't work, it don't work :)

    Delta Booking reference not showing on checkmytrip

    Hi, booked a flight direct through Delta web site - the reference number provided, which looks the same as all the other reference numbers I have for other flights (ie 6 numbers/letters). However, when entering the number into hcekmytrip it does not show up. Can anyone tell me why - or if there...

    Is Premium Economy that much better than Economy?

    Interesting reads on which is the Best Y+ seat on VA 777. I have just checked for my upcoming MEL-LAX flight on Nov 8 and found we have been allocated row 10A & 10C. Conflicted reports!!! So hard to make a decision. Seat guru shows that row has drawbacks - anyone with any experience on row 10...

    Quick J Status run MEL-OOL-MEL

    It can be found painted on the back side of the plane if you are looking from outside. Also the last two letters are also on the front wheel flaps, harder to see sometimes. If you miss those, then another chance as you walk through the entry door, there is a plaque on the top of the door well...
