If there are any Australian based agents that do Prive please DM me - I’m a bit new to the agent thing but happy to use one where I can and most will be fairly straightforward (I do 40+ nights a year in Hyatts most year). Cheers

congratulations on the LTG - my partner is about to hit the LTG mark too. He wasn’t even aware as he travels with me most of the time on holidays and wasn’t even tracking them! Although like suggested I’ve been hurrying up DSC bookings to get him over the line (450) before they change the goal...

68 flights this year and just over 100K kms (63 domestic) so that got me into the top 1% :)

Muscat was amazing- went there on the way to Germany in September. Would have no hesitation to go back! One of the highlights was a musical instrument museum in the Opera House! Friendly, efficient and certainly more tolerant than other neighbouring countries. Hopefully Singapore proves...

Had an amazing stay at the Palacio Duhau - Park Hyatt Buenos Aires in the last year. Maybe in part it was the shock of high level service after weeks of being in South Amercia but the hotel was truely next level in all respects (food and wine incuded) and an amazing insight into the history (and...

I would just like to not have to get on a bus for Dash8 regional flights in what feels like the back car park workshop access area. Any plans to improve that? 😂

Always nice to have another option in Australia. Would appreciate something in Perth and Adelaide (plus another option for the horribly overpriced (and Club -Loungeless) HR Brisbane

No suprise, but glad I managed to add that route to my list ! - I managed to do a PER-BQB-PER booking a few weeks back 16 PAX on a Friday afternoon and Sunday back - 6 PAX. Private jet and shortest flight I have ever taken - about 25 minutes from take off to landing!

Had two years as P1 (when it first came out) based mainly on domestic Y - although it was flexi but no points. No DSC. The record was 7 sectors in a week. So it can be done. Achieved LTG in 5 years. Crazy times. Never again. Happy with Platinum now but still 26000 SC away from LTP so shows you...

Has been a real mixed bag with Oaks. I don’t bother with them anymore unless I need a 3rd brand for renewal.

Interestingly my company (>6500 staff in Australia) only offers Europcar as a last resort (ie manual request) - was told by our travel manager there were a disproportionately high number with claims and insurance issues compare to others. Wonder if this is related?

Rarely it is many times. Quite often the flex Y costs more than the J seat. So by that account maybe they should be entitled to use the loo too. Just don’t give VA that idea.

Stayed at Mercure in Orange (rates above $240 per night) and my welcome amenity as a gold was a lovely wrapped Mercure Soap bar, sewing kit and single use shoe cleaner pad. Two of which items were in the room anyway...

Disagree there - if we count NZ as quasi-domestic, there are about 40 QF WPs that acheive it via domestic travel where I work ! Some have never been overseas before for business or pleasure. I even acheived Plat1 on all domestic Y one year, so I am sure there are plenty at VA who do the same.

I think this is what the whole exercise is- you spend the money with us you get rewarded. Simple. Multileg regional J discount flights with family pooling travellers (who let’s face were big braggers on here) have just been given their marching orders to the Jetstar waiting area it appears.

Hope it doesnt end up like the (former) Hyatt Regency in Perth.... !

Thank for reaching out to them via FB. I tried to cancel a booking, but that system doesn’t work either. Along with having no booking reference (emails stopped months ago) I’ve emailed hotels but even they hardly ever reply. Essentially Ive stopped booking with them (including quite a few...

Agree - such a difficult company to engage with. Haven’t received any booking confirmations or cancellations for months - multiple emails (most no response) but looks like finally sorted. Now with the EVT rewards no passwords work and no response again. Can’t access or cancel any bookings or...

I’m staying here at the moment enjoying one last stay. The staff and service have been excellent. I am still bewildered at the move by the owners. A hotel of this size with grand internal atrium proportions and full 5 star facilities (with cheap and easy parking) are rare these days. Yes it...

In a similar situation - have one last stay in August, but lots of bookings for the next 8 months will fall away. Very disappointed by this, especially being about 82% to life time
