    Virgin "enhances" redemptions, changes to points + pay

    Re: Very cheap business class points + pay redemptions For those considering this workaround, the flights are flexible so if you book during this window of opportunity you can always transfer the flights to preferable dates later.

    Velocity FF - YOU'VE GOT TO BE JOKING!!!!!! [Resolved by VA]

    I can understand your frustration in this situation, but IMHO your reaction is a little over the top. The issue has obviously been resolved now thanks to the good customer service at Virgin but I'd consider myself very lucky if I were you. Language like "FURIOUS WOULD BE BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT"...

    Up to 30000 bonus points with JQ Mastercard

    Without requesting those that have been approved to publicly disclose their current credit/income situation :shock:, I think that you might be on the money there given my subequent experience. Interesting strategy if so, they must really believe they have credit risk assessment down to a fine art!

    Amex Plat/Cent 5 Points per dollar: V Australia

    Afraid not. Amex differentiates quite clearly the benefits between their credit card and charge card options, this deal is for charge cards. Also, I'm not 100% sure but I'd say you'd have to book via the virgin website so that Amex can identify the merchant as Virgin.

    Chip or pin on american express cards?

    In my experience you could sign Donald Duck at many (most?) merchants here in Australia. Last year I had a guys week in Sydney and Gold Coast and two of us swapped charge cards out of curiosity. When we payed with the wrong card we signed with our own signature, so zero attempt at copying the...

    Amex Foreign Exchange sign up points bonus

    I have eaxactly the same entry in my MR account. After many prior issues with bonus points I was surprised that the bonus points came through so quickly after making my first foreign transfer, but when I saw that I'd been awarded 0 points I knew it was still the same good old Amex.

    Does Qantas maintain its aircraft??

    Good luck to you buddy. While the majority of us here disagree with you the majority of us here are also shameless Qantas fans. More importantly, none of us are the judge ruling on your case (assuming it goes to court).
