I thought about that - but firstly, wouldn't there be an extra charge for the additional guest? and secondly its a package deal for 2 people - includes vallet parking, and breakfast for 2. As much as i want the points, i would prefer them to have a relaxing time - they're a bit old fashioned...

Howdy all, Hope your all enjoying the Xmas break. I'm looking at booking my folks in for a night at the Crown Metropol hotel in Perth. I'll be paying for the stay on my credit card, but they will be listed as the guests. Am i still eligable to claim velocity points for the stay? or will it be...

Hi, I have approx 14.5k HH points in my account from a stay earlier this year. I don't travel a great deal for business and the few places i do don't have Hilton's. So question is.. what can i do with these points? They're not due to expire until December next year so there's no rush.

Slightly off topic.. but any idea when/if availability on partner airlines like SG and VS will be shown on the Velocity site? I know you can call up to book, but i like to just browse and see what my points can get me. Give's me encouragement to keep earning more :)

first time i've seen that.. pure gold!

Could be it.. not sure when i actually joined VFF!

I was just looking at my Latest Activities statement on the velocity site. There's an entry which just reads Status review - see Account Details. There's nothing new in the account details, as far as i can see points are all there and haven't changed. Status is still Red. Anyone seen this...

Preface: I work in the IT business. Transitioning between 3 completely different proprietary systems is a massive undertaking. Given the importance and critical nature of the system i think two years is actually pretty impressive. As mentioned in the previous post by Adrian, its not just a...

Lots of views.. no replies.. Anyone??

Howdy All, I'm looking at some flights at the end of next month PER - ALH. Skywest actually operates the flights, DJ is just codeshare. If i book direct through Skywest it's $244.00 PER - ALH and $219 ALH - PER. Where as if i book through DJ its $315 PER - ALH and $219 ALH - PER for the same...

Agree with the sentiments mentioned previously. I prefer Virgin's service and style, although my QF flights have always been good too. I'm currently booking flights PER - BNE Return for 5 people. Would have preferred to fly Virgin so i could start building status with them, however the...

I did a purchase through Hotel Club after following the link from the Velocity site. After about 3 months of no replies to my request for the points credit, i finally received a reply that as i hadn't booked through the velocity website, but direct with HotelClub i wasn't eligable. I sent back a...

I think its probably more related to the location of the hotel more than anything. It's attached/on top of the convention and exhibition centre, so i would suggest it's main clientèle would be business travellers rather than tourists. Given most business travellers travel as light as possible i...

I don't agree with taxes and fuel costs being seperate at all. Its the cost of doing business. Its not an optional cost like food or drink that some people don't want. What's next - pilot surcharge to pay for pilot pay rises? Maybe air craft surcharge ? The whole idea of a rewards system...

Gloves are definitely no better than hands. Few different reasons - hands tend to get washed more regularly than gloves get changed/washed. If your hands get dirty you wash them, if your gloves are dirty you generally don't even notice. Most people don't realise that gloves themselves should be...

On past trips i have gone with a couple of friends and we've had multiple rooms. So there was 4 of us which was really tight squeezing into the one room.

Re: Good limo service MEL? Thought i would give an update having been to MEL a couple of weeks back. It may not be for everyone - lets face it if you regularly hire a driver when visiting MEL you must have cash to burn, so hire away! :) and if your a resident well again not for you (unless you...

That's a good idea - i don't expect a full spread and free alcohol etc. But some softdrink and tea/coffee/hot chocolate and some comfy chairs is all i need :) I really don't see the need to close it period. Access is controlled via room cards, it wouldn't take much to have a reception staff...

I should point out it definitely wasn't advertised anywhere about there being a lunch spread. Would have been nice, although i guess most people are either out of the hotel sight seeing or at the office. One thing i did note - why do they close the exec lounges? I know there were large portions...

Hilton South Wharf. HH Gold Status. Booked King City View Room, received King City View Room with Exec lounge privileges. Lounge was brilliant - great to have somewhere to grab a drink (soft drink, tea/coffee/hot chocolate) any time of day. Breakfast spread was great - good variety over the...
