I've neglected this thread as its just too depressing reading about all of the projections. I too have prepared myself for no international travel until at least some time in 2022. I can't believe QF has even started accepting customers for international travel. I wonder if the supposed travel...

Funny you mention it. I’ve been stuck in a loop with QFF and they keep responding with the same generic message stating they need a pic of my velocity membership card and to pick a start date. Think I’ve replied 3 times to it thinking it was a problem on their end. They appear to have my...

I finally heard back and while they received my statement they did not receive a picture of the card which is strange as I can see it as an attachment in the email I sent. Anyway I presume I’m approved as they’re also wanting a start date which I’m now carefully considering based on the current...

I feel like prices at the moment aren’t so accurate given we don’t even know if we’ll be able to travel on those dates. Airlines could be keeping fares reasonable so they attract interest and they can pull the plug last minute and provide a credit of some sort. I don’t feel comfortable booking...

Could be a dream come true for people who can’t stand kids on planes and resorts! Seriously though I feel international travel isn’t high on the list of priorities for our government. I feel any international travel in 2021 will be very expensive and reserved only for those who can afford it...

I’m still waiting for Velocity to get back to me with my statement. I suppose they’re inundated with statement requests as well!

I’m sure they’re overwhelmed with applications so I wouldn’t expect such a swift response. I’m sure either way they’d let us know whether we’re successful or not.

I haven’t heard anything yet. Suppose they’ll pick and choose who they want based on how many QF flights they’ve taken? I’ve taken very few!

I took a day trip to Melbourne with QF. I have absolutely no status with QF but got in by showing my QR card in Apple wallet. QF number was added to my booking though so I can get the points and credits. Its great that QR will cover me for lounge access until middle of next year and hopefully I...

I've applied even though I got the Qatar platinum status match. I won't be able to maintain the Qatar platinum status due to border closures and not being able to travel abroad but can easily hit the 100 status credits for the flights I intend to take over the next few months. I'm done with...

For the time being I’d say it’s much safer to keep the points stockpiled with flybuys. Once international travel restrictions are eased and we know what partnerships will resume or be created only then would I consider transferring them across. Good to know that the limit has been removed.

Problem is I’m struggling to find $100 cards. I’ve only purchased $50 cards and even had one come up with a deposit/gc error even though I was charged so had to manually match each little receipt with the card to see which one didn’t load.

No, now that I think about it i really should have. I’ll offer the next staff member that processes my transaction a Starbucks gift card. It seems each transaction was on a different receipt, the MacBook Air receipt was taller than me and the Alienware one was just laughable. Im not having too...

It took over half an hour. I went and got a coffee in the meantime. Took a while to scratch out the codes on the back as well. At least with these eftpos cards they don’t require a signature. I’ve used some of the prepaid visa1 cards and each transaction required a signature as there is no pin...

Right, I didn’t even bother reading the fine print as I assumed the promo only applied to the cards in the picture.

I know the current promo earns 1k points per $50 kids voucher but anyone try purchasing a single $100 card for 2k points?

I spent ~$8500 off the top of my head earlier this year (mostly $50 cards) on an Alienware laptop for my brother and a couple other things and not only did it take ages to buy them at the Big W, it also took the lady behind the counter ages to process the transaction and the receipt they printed...

I'll be stocking up on the kids gift cards then. Local JB will not be too impressed when I buy a new laptop with a bunch of cards!

I just called them and they instantly credited the points missing from the latest visa promo. Now I’ve got an extra 1000 points for each card that I purchased. Very easy to deal with them!

I’m also considering doing the same. My VA Amex is of no use to me now but I wouldn’t get any sign up bonuses as I’m already with them. I’m wondering if it’s as simple as calling and changing the card to a QF one or if I have to close the whole account and start a new one. I’ll be keeping my...
