    Virgin Mobile/Velocity: 4,000 bp's, 3per$ and 10% fare rebate - posting experinces

    Once again, the third flight booked today, and I keep forgetting to book from the virginmobile site... Does this really matter? Do they check. The other part is to use your virgin phone number as the contact. This is not my normal, number, so I am concerned that if tere is an isssue that I wont...

    OOL Lounge

    While in the lounge I was having a chat with one of the angels about anytime access. Confirmed that it was coming to an end on Thursday IIRC? I asked her if it was being abused. Her reaction and comments lead me to think that it is not, certainly at OOL, so why bother canning it. ....sent from...

    Two for one deal with virgin plat c.card

    Has something changed. As the new holder of a virgin plat credit card, I thougt I was able to, with conditions, buy 1 get 1 flight free. Did this also apply to international, or only ever domestic? Has anyone ever used the offer for international? For $249 annual fee, other than the insurance...

    Best Australian Issued credit card for foreign online transactions

    And the balance is always paid off - and just searched and one from bankWest popped up - zero Platinum The next leading question is - if there is a choice of zero foreign fees, which one gives the best point value - accounts held with Velocity and QFF, no alliance to either for this case.

    A few thoughts in postmortem regarding recent events

    As an outsider that doesnt get to many events, although I have been to a couple, I am surprised that this level of politics exist in this kind of group. All I can say is welcome back, and keep up your opinions and comments. After all, isnt that what this site is about?

    Woo Hoo lucky me - reach Platinum, the long hard way

    I would have to do a count, but something like 60 flights domestically to reach it. Agreed, a couple of long hauls would make it much easier to get. Especially when you only need 8 sectors as a minimum. Maybe extra status points could be awarded for each 10 sectors completed. ....sent from the...

    Woo Hoo lucky me - reach Platinum, the long hard way

    After many short 10sc trips I have finally made it - not too sure what extra benefits are really available to Plat vs Gold though. The main ones are up to 3 guests in the lounge with me, and extra luggage that I don't really use in any case. But most importantly, that wonderful new tag and...
