    Value of Virgin's Velocity axed in report

    And unfortunately thats exactly what I've done. It saddens me to say it but the rest of my domestic travel moving forward will be with QF/JQ and I may as well earn the points. I do have the QR platinum match but don't even know if that'll stand for anything come July next year when it expires...

    I bought 6 today and it’s definitely 1000 points each.

    Coles gift card offers

    Thats the thing. On many occasions I have bought multiple cards in a single transaction both from Coles and Woolies. On this particular occasion I had the drama so its a first but I'm wondering if the policy changed as to how many Mastercards or Visas you can buy. Her demeanour was pretty bad...

    Coles gift card offers

    I still pay the fee but I don't care about the fee. I've yet to find a prepaid visa or Mastercard where there is no fee. I've bought 10 cards on the single account before without issue, both at self serve and at the manned counters. I've also had the message pop up on the fourth but the person...

    Coles gift card offers

    Has anyone had an issues buying Coles gift Mastercards in bulk? I had a very frustrating experience today in my local Coles where I attempted to buy 10 Coles gift Mastercards amongst some other random shopping. After 4 cards where scanned at the self service a message came up to wait for...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    I will pop into my local woolies in the morning and see if the offer is being advertised by the gift card stand. I’m planning on buying a fair few so I do hope the offer exists at my local store!

    Australian women on Qatar flight internally examined

    These muslim countries unsurprisingly have a pretty bad track record for women's rights unfortunately. Australian officials can flap their gums all they want, nothing will come of the investigation as according to their laws and customs, no doubt they've done nothing wrong.

    Thanks for the heads up. I’ll grab a stack for the upcoming iPhone 12 pro max and the Apple ARM based MacBook. I remember the last time I made an ~$8k purchase with cards the poor lady at the counter took ages!

    100% bonus on Velocity points purchases until 13/11/20

    Yep, I’ve used them many times for flights and hotels. Never had any dramas and points are earned on all bookings. Quite often they do bonus points on certain airlines. I’ve booked a number of times when they do bonus points sitewide and ended up with a nice stash. I’ll likely use my points on...

    100% bonus on Velocity points purchases until 13/11/20

    I’ve got ~478k of flybuys points which I feel are safer with flybuys rather than transferred to velocity. I’d rather use those through flybuys travel or to buy an iPad or iPhone than risk them dissolving into nothing. I wouldn’t risk buying points with velocity especially considering the most...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    I’m still quite new when it comes to WWR offers. I received an offer for an item in the app which says I can earn bonus points up to 5 times on that listed item. I still have 2 days left before expiry of this item and I have bought one. I received the bonus points already but now that offer has...

    Is it Time to transfer/withdraw points from Velocity?

    Don't be so sure if Dan Andrews remains at the helm.. I've lost complete confidence in Virgin ever returning with decent international offerings or even reasonable partner alliances. I'm going to burn the remainder of my Velocity points on gift cards and write them off for good. Its a shame...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    Shame. I don’t understand why we’re unable to leave even if we agree to pay quarantine on return. Increase services and keep the industry afloat. At least hotels will have people in them and they’ll be getting paid one way or another. I know for most that travel is a privilege but surely we can...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    I can’t imagine what’ll happen to flagship airlines, even those with heaps of money behind them if the international restrictions continue to be as strict as they currently are. I suppose the arabs will be right considering they still have services arriving into the country and many other places...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    My desire to travel internationally is becoming less and less as each month goes by. I still have a list of where to travel to next when restrictions are eased and I'm hoping by Sept of next year but there is no way of knowing. I bought a drone now so I have a new toy to help pass the time.

    The catch 20x promo points have come through tonight. Earlier than expected but welcomed either way!

    FB missing points claim process is antiquated

    I've had reasonable success with communicating with then via Facebook. The rep on this forum has also been helpful in the past. Not sure if they're still here. I'm about to lodge a query as to where my 2.5k Coles points are and I'm still waiting on ~30k points through Catch. Really have to be on...

    Feeling very uninspired by Flybuys these days

    I honestly can’t see flybuys partnering with another airline seeing as Virgin will continue to operate. I’ll continue to keep my points stash with flybuys until we find out what sort of alliance or partnership Virgin keeps with international carriers as right now I’m not interested in collecting...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    Hang on, what? ‘Older’ people need to be more proactive in looking after their own health and well-being. It isn’t my job. How many times I’ve been out and about and seen the elderly not taking any precautions is beyond me, yet we’ve crippled the economy with no end in sight and once this is all...
