I've now got that card to replace my St George card and what a good card it is despite the Virgin Money web site. Its good value and don't forget the 120,000 bonus points for signing up. Its gone up from 80,000 in May when I signed up.

I'm was already winding my St George card down ready to cancel. Got the letter yesterday and thought it was good timing.

In May I flew HBA - MEL and found Economy X exit row seats available for free. This was one or two days before flight. Flight was quite full. No such luck on return.

Trust me when I say this is a rarity! We have been talking about his trip for 7 years and are finally doing it. Normally I scour the internet looking for the best price but in the Kimberley you don't get much choice. And neither of us likes camping.

I may have not worded my earlier posts very well but I have every intention of using points for classic award flights going forward. On this particular trip we plan to spoil ourselves a little in Broome after 4 Wheel Driving through the Gibb River Road for 2 weeks. My OP was just to point out...

Don't plan on a going to the Kimberley then unless you camp everywhere. We're planning a trip next year and the average accommodation cost is over $472 a night for 13 nights and that includes some fancy tents!

If you think 167,457 is a lot just for the hotel what about and extra 157,163 for return flights from Melbourne to Broome (2 people)?

According to Qantas Hotels the cost is $1470 and the accommodation's own website is $1400. It's in Broome.

I'm not sure about the Qantas Holidays being better value than booking a hotel and flights separately. I've looked at both and used the same hotel and the same flights on the same dates. On Qantas Holidays for 2 people for 5 days the points needed is 324,620. Booking just the hotel is 167,457...

I certainly did. I was honest and was slightly under with their annual income minimum but thought I would submit it anyway expecting a refusal. This wasn't the first time I didn't quite make the income minimum and got approved. I thought being retired would go against me but it wasn't.

I'm retired 9 years and on a fixed income. I was surprised recently when I was approved for the Virgin Money card with 80,000 bonus points and 1:1 earning rate. They even gave me a $24000 credit limit (I've since reduced it) compared to my (about to be cancelled) St George card which only...

I booked a VA flight last week by calling the SQ call centre in Sydney. It wasn't showing up on SQ. I got a very helpful and knowledgeable person which isn't always the case. I suggest you try again, might be lucky.

I checked a few different options. Looks like there are award seats on Virgin only on about 1 or 2 days a week for the 3 options I looked at.

We stayed near the Champs-Elysees in Paris a couple of doors from the Israeli Embassy where soldiers were patrolling with machine guns. A bit disconcerting walking past but our wives seemed to enjoy looking at the soldiers from our 2nd floor window!

I first wrote to SQ asking why bookings could not be made on their web site using KF miles for Virgin domestic flights. I mentioned I had done this earlier this year for a flight HBA - CNS. They thought I was trying to make that booking. SQ: We acknowledge your concern about the redemption...

Thats useful information. I don't actually want to make a booking at this time, just be prepared for when I do. "Award redemptions for partner airlines can be done via KrisFlyer Membership Services and will be available for redemption on singaporeair.com progressively." I may well have...

Last night I noticed on the Singapore Airlines app that when trying to book a domestic flight in Australia that it won't allow you to even put the destination city in. Unlike the web site where both departure and destinations can be entered and then get no results. No reply from my e-mail to...

I've contacted SQ using a form on their web site. I'll share here when I get a reply.

Really poor service is an understatement. I rang SQ call centre yesterday to ask why Virgin redemptions were not showing for Krisflyer domestic bookings. Was transferred to someone who allegedly was an expert. I was asked which routing I was looking at. I had randomly looked at SYD - MEL in...

Yes, I booked earlier this year.
