    Help! Points for QR flight not credited. Still being accused of lying.

    This is the nature of most of VA's partnerships...not just QR. Lounge access arrangements vary for each and every partner and Velocity Gold and Plat will often find themselves having to negotiate lounge access...and then conversely you'll find Velocity Gold and Plat trying to negotiate...

    Help! Points for QR flight not credited. Still being accused of lying.

    Do you feel better now? If unscrupulous agents in QR customer service are involved in stealing miles it says nothing about the QR/VA partnership. Other accounts I've seen of this the victims were not intending to credit to VA and you can be sure they are still going to have a very difficult...

    Jury Duty

    In Victoria the courts will pay you $40 per day and your salary should make up the rest (of your normal salary). You might find it isn't even worth your payroll department's time to make that adjustment.

    Jury Duty

    That's not what I saw in Melbourne last year. If you objected you had to go stand in the witness box...and state your reason. There were some standard ones like you knew someone involved in the case, or you knew one of the lawyers. There was also the option to write it down and that could be...

    Help! Points for QR flight not credited. Still being accused of lying.

    Velocity retro claim gave me the same message when doing a claim for United...claimed in another program. United confirmed for me that that was absolutely not the case, the only number against my booking was Velocity. I also had the boarding passes showing VA number. Velocity continued to...

    SIA/VA Points and Status Credits

    Seeing as you're Virgin Gold (according to your profile)...what you miss out on by booking directly with SQ is 75% points bonus on miles flown...you would only get these flying SQ on VA flight numbers. But as others have said, if the codeshare is not available...its not available...there's no...

    Dual citizenship and travelling on non AU passport

    If the person entering is an EU citizen there is no time limit on the visit, regardless of which passport they use to enter. Same for the UK...they have no outbound passport control...they have no idea when you leave!

    Dual citizenship and travelling on non AU passport

    Currently travelling to the EU or UK it really doesn't matter which passport you use to enter...until either implements any sort of visa or ETA (which I think is in the works?) Australians can happily use the eGates and enter without a visa.

    Dual citizenship and travelling on non AU passport

    Can I ask why? I might show my British passport at check in...e.g. if we are going to somewhere like Vietnam that has visa free available for various passports, but not Australia...but I'll use my Australian passport at the eGates. I've always assumed the second citizenship passport would not...

    Many Velocity Partner Redemptions Becoming Unattainable

    The thing you're so offended by is no different to using the Qantas points plus pay slider at the end of the booking process. It is simply the option to pay the cash fare in points. As for flexibility...you couldn't find the exact date you needed booking less than a month out but there were...

    Many Velocity Partner Redemptions Becoming Unattainable

    United generally offers up a whole lot of last minute availability. And now that is pretty much the default setting for Etihad too (for all EY partners, not just Velocity).

    Many Velocity Partner Redemptions Becoming Unattainable

    Melodramatic much? Booking less than a month out you could still find options around the date you've mentioned.
