    QF Status Bonus vs Loyalty Bonus

    Thanks, @justinbrett Welllll- this is embarrassing. After a lot of hunting for information about this (and then posting this question on AFF), I only just now saw a little click box on the earn page that says "Show Status Bonus points" (Hidden in plain sight, at the top of the page). I clicked...

    QF Status Bonus vs Loyalty Bonus

    Hello everyone, I have been reviewing my QF SCs and I keep coming back to this bonus offered by Qantas: Earn more with the Status Bonus and this Our Loyalty Bonus As a QF Silver, am I supposed to be getting a status bonus on each flight? Or is it all part of the loyalty bonus with magic words...

    Buy the house with an Amex?

    Many years ago, I heard what I thought was an urban myth about someone who used their Amex to purchase a property. Apparently, they lined everything up with Amex and the banks first (which sounds like a wise thing to to). However, my question is whether it is possible to purchase a property...

    90SC short of Gold and one week to go

    You guys are all making good points and I thank you for your replies. Just want to add that I certainly do not have an expectation of getting comped up. It would just be nice and disappointed I didn't end up flying the couple of extra sectors needed. I was looking for some avenues that may help.

    90SC short of Gold and one week to go

    Yup- I am at 610. Enough to renew but since I am Silver, I am trying to grasp at Gold with hope and envy. So close. So close.

    90SC short of Gold and one week to go

    Should I panic yet? After a significant number of short interstate flights, I am sitting at 610 SC and have about one week left until they revert to zero. I phoned QFF and asked nicely if I could get comped up to Gold but they "tisk tisk tisk" me and said it was hardly likely given it was ...

    Tuesday or Wednesday for SYD-DPS Booking?

    Hey everyone, I am a long time QFF and haven't flown VA for ages, so I don't know how the pricing fluxes during the week. I need to book a SYD-DPS flight this week- is there any day that is better (cheaper) than another? This will finally mean I get some Velocity points! Yay! Thanks! Max.

    Delayed in Denpasar.

    Thanks, Jessica. Just checked Jetstar website and confirmed 5 hour delay. Ill probably drop Jetstar a tweet to touch base.

    Delayed in Denpasar.

    Our Jetstar (Denpasar- Melb) flight is delayed by around 5 hours, now departing at 4.30am. Annoying but I certainly understand that these things happen. We are traveling up the front of the plane, which I am hoping makes things a tad easier. I have a couple of questions- Will the lounge Jetstar...

    Jetstar paid upgrades at the airport

    This threat has filled me with some hope :-) So, here's my story and question..... I have used points for a Melbourne- Denpasar flight but could only book 'down the back'. Happy to pay extra to get up the front. I know there are vacant seats up the front on the flight (at the moment). Do you...

    JQ *Class Fare Sale

    Pretty sure we're going to go the SIN trip. Can anyone do a compare of *Class to any QF class? I like the package but have "sold" it to Mrs Smart86 as JetStar's Business Class. I have assumed it's like QF Premium Economy? Appreciate any comments.

    SYD/LAX $US631 RET (tax incl) on UA

    Sadly, I got this when I went to the link: This tware has expired. Please stay tuned for future twares! They come and go fast, so jump on them when you can! Apparently, I didn't jump fast enough! :( Might be worth watching that page anyway...

    International upgrade request within 24h

    Hi all, I have just been sent my e-ticket for a QF international flight tomorrow and have requested an upgrade but have been told that it is within 24 hours before the flight departs and so an upgrade request cannot be processed. :( As a Gold QFF, are there any options available to get an...

    QFF points to upgrade on BA?

    Travel Guru asked: Which upgrade are you on Y+, J or F? Planning on Y+ one way and J return (or the other way around, depending on availability). Added bonus: this trip's status points will allow me to keep Gold QFF status.

    QFF points to upgrade on BA?

    Blast. That's what I thought after speaking with Qf. Now, how do I tell my wife it's only a one-way upgrade? :-)

    QFF points to upgrade on BA?

    My wife and I are probably going to take BA up on its Mastercard Free upgrade on one leg offer shortly. We were planning to use QFF points to upgrade the OTHER leg of the journey. Having read this on the one-world site: Can I use my frequent flyer points/miles to upgrade within oneworld? Some...
