The fact it's still there suggests to me they're still working on it, and are just behind (Remember, Velocity means Fast!). Whereas if it had actually "died" they would have just pulled the page entirely. Given the delay, they just don't want to draw attention to it by announcing it is postponed...

While you can earn them on Qantas marketed flights, that wouldn't apply in this case since it was booked as a Virgin reward. Adding a QF FF number wouldn't change that. For Virgin reward bookings, yes.

No, it's because QR pulled all J seat availability in that time frame on long haul routes a month or so back and hasn't released any more.

Each airline has its own program and codes. As you're searching under Hawaiian air, these are their codes, related to their program. I'm not familiar with their HA program but did some searching to work things (I believe) out. Many FF programs have peak/off-peak or saver/flex pricing i.e. the...

I have slowness getting in often, but no error message like the above (though sometimes it just doesn't go in at all).

Agreed. There's so much wrong with many of their claims. And it wouldn't be the first time someone has gotten financiers to lend money... but failed to complete operation of the venture.

Because they model pricing based on single person use, not as a card that pays for 15 drinks/day. And if you share, that cuts the revenue model in half. As only one person would buy the card, and then both would use it if there was no restriction. And even heavy drinkers at 7 alcoholic...

Obviously, there's more to the story. As a business, webjet aren't just going to randomly cancel tickets and not return money. So what was the reason given, and what else did they say? The fact the OP didn't include this necessary information, but makes extreme accusations, just makes one...

Velocity, as the offer is from them (as well as the points). As long as you have the trigger points from Virgin Money, they have done what they are meant to do).

It seems to be working fine. e.g. I chose 16 Jan, Syd-YVR, for 4. It offered 2 p.m - 9:18 p.m., totalling 269,200 points. If you're not seeing that on the day you're looking for, it's likely due to availability (which means calling won't help). That said, being ready to get as soon as...

Aka "guaranteed award seat allocations for Gold, platinum and beyond increase in cost by 27%" Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Just because you want even more doesn't mean it is not generous.

This seems to be more about a play for new members (in prep for their IPO) than actually anything substantive.

...Or it was just meant to be a celebration as Matt said, and teased that more announcements are to come... but ET just got overexcited and made out that it was more than that. Then when corrected, tried to cover everything up ASAP and not say a word to not look more foolish.

Just enter what you can earn now e.g. United or whichever you prefer. If a better offer comes up later for Velocity before you fly, you can change it then. But you don't have to worry about changing it to something else if it doesn't.

I wouldn't say it's worst. It's at their hub, it's a frequent connection, it's the same airline, they know you're connecting, and transfer services are every 10 minutes. If the arriving flight actually happens to be late, that's on VA to resolve, and it's plenty of time for the transfer going to...

Based on what's shown here it doesn't appear to be part of their offering.

Since we're talking about chatGPT, a useful lesson. As a bonus, it also relates to an airline... https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/27/23739913/chatgpt-ai-lawsuit-avianca-airlines-chatbot-research

If it was the US version, she would have been on the flight solely to get some good sympathy stories and gift US$50k to the most deserving staff member, who was operating on that flight.

There are a few details I'm unsure about, but the way I read it it seems like the outward FF booking is cancelled and being refunded now? While the experience hasn't been great, if that's the case, I'd set aside any issues with QF (unless you really want to pursue things with them) and just...
