Was hoping to fly both, one each way so I could check put the new BSI. But flight times didn't lie up so on the A330 both ways.

Finally booked my flights for next week - J PER-SYD rtn. I've had a hunt round the forum, but can't find any good info on the best seats to pick and surprisingly the business class menu??? Any advice from the oh so knowledgeable??? :D

Yep - Same view here. Now time to book before they disappear again! Just out of interest, what does this part mean when your doing the last part of the points + pay option? "Note: You do not earn Velocity Points on the Credit Card portion of this redemption booking"

Flew USM - BKK with Bangkok Air last year and had to produce my credit card for proof and photo ID/Passport.

Just sent a PM to the Virgin Rep to see if they could find out what's going on.

I'm very much hoping this is a glitch in the system, or them updating the website. It does seam very strange that there's no rewards seats at all - i'm hoping they'll sort it out tomorrow. Might have to give them a call if nothing updates as i was ready to book return to SYD on Friday! Any...

Yeah but before you could get J return for $350 before. Whereas now its over 1500 each way.

So do what's the chances they're removing the premium seats to replace them with Business seats on the website? Surely there would have to be some premium/business rewards seats available. Was looking forward to trying Virgin's product, but will have to fly points on QF if i can't find rewards...

I'm really puzzled actually - looking at over a week either side there's no availability at all? The economy flights are showing as either available or Sold Out, but premium is just suddenly "not available"? **Edit** I've just done some random checks through out random dates between now and the...

Hi All, I have been planning a business trip across to SYD from PER in a couple of weeks. I've been watching the Velocity site daily (most days multiple times) and there has been plenty of seats available for business class. I've just logged on this evening to confirm time and dates before i...

haha i just stumbled across this video again earlier this afternoon! Surpised the media/unions haven't been playing this one non stop.

If your doing this via Velocity then it's not too bad given it prefills most of your personal details. Then on the passenger details just select "i'm travelling" and it prefills your details again. Only pain is if your travelling with an extra person - but even then only a couple of details...

Not sure if that's a typo - but no if your an existing customer you can apply online through your online banking portal and it prefills most of your info. Interestingly my requested limit was initially denied and they gave me a $1000 - this was during the application process. But then the new...

So.... Anyone else been rejected by Woolies??? Just got the letter in the post today. Annoyingly they don't say why they've rejected the application - so no way to know what to fix. I suspect it could be the other 3 card applications i've made in the past month maybe?

Applied for $7500 but received $1000 awaiting confirmation. Strangely enough it's appeared on my online banking with a $7500 limit but still haven't received any notification that i have been approved. Now to wait for the points :)

Been to two different fuel stations in the last week or two, both surcharged for Amex. BP Bull Creek - 2% Caltex Byford - 2% (i think it was 2%) will check next time im out that way.

Yeah that's what i'm working on trying to sort out the different offers available and try to get the best reward for my outlay. I probably should mention that i'm not just attempting to jump on a few bonus point cards, i do have a reasonable spend with my business credit card approx $80-100k...

Wow some really good info in the last few posts! I see what you mean about using realistic fairs that you would actually buy for comparison. Where i struggle is with the comparison to paying out $X per year in annual fees and whether is would be better going to a low rate no rewards card with...

So for example i've just had a look at a flight from PER to OOL and it's 107200 points to fly business class return (albeit via SYD and SYD - OOL is PE). So at 1c per point that works out to just over $1000. In comparison to buy the same flight is $3428.00. So on the face of it that seams a very...

So how do you value bonus points on a credit card. I received an offer for 20k bonus points on an Amex Velocity Gold Card - but it carries a $200pa fee? Is this a worthwhile deal?
