    Virgin partner award points refund time

    I would personally call them up at least 24 hours before hand. Be mindful of the opening hours of the call centre. I have booked and cancelled plenty of speculative partner redemptions on VA recently over the call centre. Points are re-deposited very quickly, and taxes shortly after. Complete...

    Velocity points redemption payment error?

    Worst case scenario, call VA up to assist with the redemption and ask them to waive the phone assistance fee (because of how cough their website is).

    Velocity 20% bonus points on transfers offer - November 2023 to January 2024

    My bonus points also posted, 3x transfers from Citi. No email notifications at all throughout the campaign, unlike above posters ….. but no issues here, thankfully!

    Platinums can now use complimentary upgrade from a Choice fare

    Please, it's better than having them go wasted. I hardly ever buy flex fares - this change means that at least I'm able to get 1 upgrade instead of none.

    I've just reached Velocity Platinum

    They put me on hold for 10 min, came back telling me they found standard award availability via BNE and SYD and asked whether I wanted that instead ... (which is within their right I guess). I pushed them for a direct flight, they said nope (because of availability via BNE/SYD). I thanked them...

    I've just reached Velocity Platinum

    Also, if there is indirect award routing via another city, they will tell you to book that instead For example - I wanted to book 2x ADL-MEL (Y) flight 6 months in advance for the Taylor Swift concert using the Plat Guarantee. They told me there was ADL-SYD/BNE-MEL availability (that I couldn’t...

    AmEx Qantas Ultimate: 100K/40K Points via Referral Link

    Sorry I didn't see this post earlier when I posted this in the Amex forum (happy for my post to be deleted as it isn't a 'promotion' as such ... I think) I'll throw my link out there as well in case anyone is keen, with thanks! https://americanexpress.com/en-au/referral/hOAL8BXd?CPID=999999537

    Velocity and ANA

    It's possible, but availability the main issue. I can't remember the last time I saw domestic J available for partner redemption. Heaps of Y though.

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Yep, you’re absolutely spot on. To follow up my question - I’ve just ticked over to 5/5 in my last month of the requalification year. I have until 31/3/24 to select my bonus option (50SC), which is wonderful, as the SC‘s won’t go wasted and will contribute towards requalifying.

    Velocity Redemption not ticketed with United Airlines

    Correct. I have seen UA release up to 9 seats for redemption in J on its T-PAC routes, even on flights around Christmas time this year. It is sometimes publicised here on AFF, or other travel reward websites or on FB groups.

    FA forgets to serve meal!

    In your complaint letter, it’s always useful to specify what compensation you’re after (eg. 5000 velocity points).

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    I'm sure this has been asked and answered (only looked thru last 10 pages) ... My membership year ends 31/12 I'm on 4/5 for Green Tier Was planning to do the last donation in December to get 5/5 and choose 50SC for my 2024 membership year and get a head start for requalifying. That should...

    UpgradeMe pricing and success

    No it doesn't. It's the same for a Choice fare, makes for a potentially very cheap upgrade.

    ANA partnership with Virgin Australia

    Yes NH availability on UA matches what VA can see. I've booked; HNL-NRT (flying Honu!) HND-SYD Both in J, both wonderful flights. Stoked about this partnership!

    First lounge hypothetical

    Interesting thread! I will have to admit, I've done it before, but at HKG in ... ?2016. Arrived from a 2nd tier Chinese city, with a 7 hour layover to DXB (on EK). Bought a fully flex CX Y HKG-TPE to use the Pier F lounge for a nap and meal, spa at the Wing before cancelling it 2 hours prior...

    Westpac Denied

    Can’t, with Optus 😂 Interesting data point, thanks! I’ll keep an eye on my on the Credit record. I didn’t even get close to the page where they ask for how much limit I would like, so surely it shouldn’t trigger a hard enquiry on my record …. But I’ll see

    Westpac Denied

    Hi all (Sorry to ?hijack this thread - or perhaps it may be related??) I was trying to apply for the Westpac Velocity CC earlier tonight. I only managed to get to the page where they ask you for your name, DOB, marital status and housing situation and address. Upon entering the info and...
