    EDR Targeted Bonus Point Promotions

    I will take up the offer, thanks for the guide. On another related matter, MrsW used her card last week in QLD, we are from Vic, and she got an email noting that she was at the surfers paradise location and could she please complete a survey on this store. I found this interesting...

    I have had enough.... [Offloaded after Flight not called in VA lounge]

    What about an sms to pax that have checked in advising that your flight is now boarding. Can be initiated at the same time the boarding call is made. Even if deep in conversation, one will feel the gentle nagging vibration in your pocket? This could be a gold/plat perk that I dont think is...

    Gold Coast priority lane for security

    Saw it on Saturday arvo, but itwas quiet. I wondered how it would work when busy as it didnt lead to a specific scanning unit, just into the general public. As was, mentioned, it would be very easy for regular pax to "fall into" this line without realising.

    EDR Targeted Bonus Point Promotions

    Have not used my card for some months. Used it for a $30 purchase, the following day, got an offer for 300 points if spending over $50 inthe next week. Should I take the offer, or hold out for better value?

    I have had enough.... [Offloaded after Flight not called in VA lounge]

    I like to see the departure gate from the lounge where possible. If I can see the gate, I can see when the arriving flight gets there, and when I see new luggage neing loaded I head on the way. When I can not see the gate, I will head to the lounge service desk and ask for an update on...

    USA domestic connection - cheap Delta vs direct Virgin America

    Where did you want to end up? Milwaukee, or Chicago? I am thinking, having kids as well, that the hassle of getting out of MKE and back to Chicago would not be very pleasant. I would keep looking for the option to ORD. There are flights between MKE and ORD, plane barely gets in the air before...

    15% bonus on credit card points transfers

    Based on the calculations, if you wanted tofly, leave and donvert points to Velocity, anything else, buy through Altitude. I have bought gift cards via Altitude in the past, mostly to appease the Mrs for being away so often...however now stockpiling for an OS holiday, and praying not to get hit...

    Destination, A47 - Watch this space.

    Great choice! Stayed there ourselves. Go to the police station, get your licence and rent a car, drive around the island... Also that resort had a buffett night, and they had this green stuff, cooked in coconut milk. Apparently it puts "lead in your pencil" according to locals. I can not recall...

    15% bonus on credit card points transfers

    Agreed, I would send my points, for non flight arrangements from Velocity to Altitude, too bad the bonus doesnt work the other way. It would be good to see some flight analysis.

    Velocity Status Levels

    Qualifying to plat on VA within a few months, then switching to QF for the balanace of the year is an option to keep QF active and see how far up you go. Partner gold etc is of no use. When MrsW travels, it is with me in any case.

If you could let us know how you got on...Nothing worse than waking up in the morning, having a stretch and realising that...

    HHonors Gold/Diamond for Velocity Gold/Plat

    I had no responsefrom HH when I hit gold and claimed. Hertz I was already with, but was knocked up to the five star. Have since switched to Europcar and have had upgrades with every rental. Word of caution, Europcar is difficult to use if planning on using in the US

    HHonors Gold/Diamond for Velocity Gold/Plat

    So I hit platinum, and took the IHG option. Last year I hit gold, I took the Hilton option, never heard from them. I have re qualified plat already, review in July. Will I be given another option to take the Hilton upgrade? Is the status with the hotel maintained so long as you maintain status...
