Yes! And bonus status credits, AND status credits on reward bookings! Incredible!

Oh I'm so hoping they extend my status! My gold status expires end of September, and I was planning to send a begging email...

Thanks for both answers - I check product review for Bestjet, and there were a few negative comments. Thanks for the advice on Helloworld, I recall SIA charge $25 for a card payment, so it might work out easiest that way. I found a better way on the SIA website to find the cheaper flights, so I...

So I've been waiting months for the Spring Earlybird special email to arrive from SIA. We are planning to go to UK again early 2016. Flexible on dates, but don't want snow! So checking the email, it says $1744 MEL to LHR. Can i find one flight that has that price??? Cheapest I can find is...

Well done M@rco Polo! Have to say the problem with mine had been the naming convention. You actually need to use the precise name on the Velocity membership card. I had just put my surname, rang them up they fixed it, I had to do it again, and it took me over a week all up. Rookie mistake I...

Does anyone know how long it takes for points to go from Citibank to Virgin Velocity? I did the transfer online in the citibank app on Sunday and still haven't seen anything arrive in Velocity? Thanks!:confused:

The Citibank signature card which I got had a special offer of 60K points on signup, annual fee of $299 for life. It requires an income of $75K, which is maybe more do-able. It comes out at 1 KF per $ though

The way I put it was for my specific situation, citibank and Amex platinum edge card seem to offer the best points deals. I've still got my NAB Velocity card which I can use for the once a year tax slug, being a PAYE who pays a medicare levy surcharge.

That seems a strange idea Ja1402. You lose value transferring from KF points to Virgin, and you can get plenty of Virgin points on various cards already. IMO it's harder to get KF points than VA points, so getting them to transfer seems a waste of effort. Both the cards I listed, AMEX platinum...

Thanks Danger!

Wow! I started this thread asking the best way to get Krisflyer miles, and I don't know the trick! I'll go for a PM as well, if anyone can send to me please. Not sure how different I am, but it seems to get good points earn, you need to run your own business so you can use a card to pay your...

Thanks glider, I had missed the t-14 restriction. But lifemiles from Singapore? That's an idea worth trying!

Jealous of my 16 yo nephews ability to get flight bargains, I asked him what to do if you want to fly SIA... He suggested lifemiles. On checking, it doesn't seem much cheaper than Krisflyer unless you get the bonus 100% thing. I have the Westpac Krisflyer card, and use that, but then there...

Hi Stuey, having gone through a similar process recently, I now understand that you just cannot use the webpage to upgrade individual segments. That's just a limitation of the site. If you want to do that you'd need to ring them. So locking up etc, is what will happen. Just the way it is...

I cannot agree with you! It's not selfish or selfless that's required! You've just made a whole bunch of assumptions about what other ppl want ("the person behind me is actually inconveniencing me by setting the expectation that I shouldn't recline my seat... "). Personally I've never...

Just before Easter, we flew to UK on our usual twice yearly trip with Singapore Airlines. We made it to gold status Krisflyer last August by a fluke of timing, so were settling into the lounge at MEL. I'd just been reading the thread a few weeks ago about trying to get free upgrades, and he...

you know? I just entered the site and its remembered me again! :p

I just checked and my details are not saved as well. Always worked before. I'm using Chrome. Just noticed hovering over the Krisflyer account number box, it shows a message, "Autocomplete is disabled for this page" IIRC, so they've turned it off.

I asked Krisflyer that question, you should get miles at the economy rate. You only get miles for flights that you've paid $$ for.

I use the Westpac Platinum, but I'm considering dropping to the Gold, unless you can pump plenty of $$ through it, I can't justify the annual fees. We fly to UK twice a year, and took up these cards to try to get regular points based upgrades or something, but we just don't get enough points...
