+1 the WP status making the difference. I'm not actively collecting Qantas points anymore but am trying to burn through my existing balance. I recently had to call up Qantas post AJ's departure as a lowly silver to book a flight that I was unable to do for myself online. I informed them of...

https://simpleflying.com/vietjet-launches-airbus-a330-perth-0-airfares/ Fake news? I'm trying to book today, on a Wednesday. Below is a screen capture of the fare I'd pay. An absolute rip-off. Are other people out there managing to find these 0$ fares (excluding taxes and fees)?

Resolved now, thanks all! :)

Anyone else having difficulty logging into Privilege Club? For the past 3 days whenever I try to login via the link to my google account I keep getting the message: "we are facing technical issues. Please try after some time." I think I've given them enough time now so I'm just trying to find...

Yes indeed. I also have a balance of Avios to play with. :) And only another 3 months before I can take advantage once again for an AMEX card sign-up bonus. Except this time I won't be going for their QFF marketed card, I'm going to be seeking a Membership Rewards program card! :cool:

Cheers Gold Member! I greatly dislike Alan Joyce's spin and gutting of the airline. I was one of those few unfortunate souls that had issues with Qantas last year when it came to booking flights and obtaining refunds, and even more amazingly it happened to me more than once! 🤯 Unlucky me - the...

Hi all, I just had a very pleasant surprise using my Velocity points. I've been looking to book rewards tickets to and from Europe for Christmas and yet again found myself unable to utilize my 400,000 Qantas pesos. 😂 Having seen the light and fled the QFF programme over a year ago I have now...

Me too! Finnair booking via classic rewards. To be fair CC refund of about $20 came through within 2-3 days but no sign of the points refund. Called them two weeks ago to sort it - lady at the call centre said she would e-mail the team responsible and that the points would be refunded in the...

Hotel: Intercontinental Dhaka When: June Status: Diamond + Ambassador Rate: IHGR Advance Booked: 1 King Club Lounge Access Received: 1 Bedroom Suite Amenity Offered: No choice - automatically informed it was breakfast. Didn't complain. Huge all you can eat buffet. Still also credited with 600...

Kimpton Fitzroy, London. Stayed this week. 2 free coughtails from the hotel bar.

Hotel: Kimpton Fitzroy, London When: June Status: Diamond + Ambassador Rate: IHGR Advance Booked: 1 Single City Single Bed Received: 1 Queen Bed ($155 value in terms of booking cost difference) Amenity Offered: Can't recall the choices, but I took breakfast option for both dates of my stay (2 x...

Hi all, as reported by OMAAT the new Kimpton secret password is "no shade". Just in time for my stay at Kimpton Fitzroy next month: "I find it quite warm in London this time of year; it's a shame there's no shade nearby". :D https://onemileatatime.com/deals/kimpton-social-password/

@yellow22 thank you very much! I wanted to confirm successful withdrawal of funds back to my bank account before jumping in with praise as it comes under almost too good to be true! :D I eked out a slightly better bonus of $260 for what was effectively 30-60 minutes work. Just have to hope...

As others have already said, absolutely no issues doing this. I was almost in the exact same situation as yourself last year (my thread asking the same question in the link below). I informed a Qantas member of staff upon my arrival at Perth airport and they ushered me to be processed...

Hi all, I'll be transiting through Doha on my way from Australia to Ireland in the next few weeks on QR. I'm booked in F for the longer first leg and J in the shorter second stage. I have around 2.5 hours stopover in Doha - will I be allowed to use Al Safwa Lounge? If so, is it a similar...

Again, ridiculous excuses by Qantas. 1) it must have been reopened for almost a year now. 2) Capacity limits is a reason potentially to turn some lounge pass holders away if at capacity but not as a blanket rule (surely they can adopt whatever rule the other Qantas lounges use for when they're...

I can't believe they're still trotting out the COVID restrictions excuse - they gave me the same line back in November last year. Qantas - consistency where it matters! :rolleyes: In the end no matter whatever ridiculous reason they've trotted out there's no acceptable justification as to why...

You were upgraded from a King Room to a Club King Room and given Club Intercontinental Privileges? It's not usual IC policy according to articles I've read! https://thepointsguy.com/news/ihg-club-level-upgrades-access/

@BriarFlyer thanks for that!

Hi all, First time looking for awards seats using Velocity points and I'm wondering if I'm calculating my points redemptions wrong or whether there's some fine print in the T&C of the programe that I'm missing that can explain the difference. Planning to book an award seat back on QR from PER...
