I'm flying to LAX anyway, want to be able to upgrade international flights using points and get into the lounge.

I'm looking to bump my status up to gold in the next 4 weeks in time for a flight to the US. I've already done the required sectors, but I only have 130SC. The best status run I can find is Newcastle to Darwin via Melbourne and Brisbane. I've got enough points to book this one way on business...

So, an update to this. I went in for another interview. This time with a letter from my employer saying they were happy for me to go and that I would be coming back and working on a project on my return. I got asked a bunch of questions about my work, about what I wanted to do over there, and if...

I'm trying to use points to upgrade a flight this evening and nobody at the airport seemed to know how to do it. They told me to call a number and the lovely lady at the call center said the offices are shut over the weekend and it can't be done. Is this for real? No upgrades outside of 9-5...

OK, so the new ESTA was rejected, looks like my only way over there is to apply for a new B2. Given they already know I have a US girlfriend, is there any chance this will ever get approved? What supporting documentation do I need to provide to prove I'm coming back?

Yup, still do. They didn't care. They told me I shouldn't have booked them without a visa. I got told by an immigration lawyer in LA that I can apply for another ESTA if I answer that I've been rejected for a visa in the past, and if it gets approved I can go over on the VWP. Have you heard of...

The US consulate haven't offered anything, they told me I could reapply if anything changed but said I could no longer use the visa waiver and would have to do an interview every time now. I'm an Australian citizen, was born here and have lived here for about 28 of the past 30 years of my life...

Hi all, I've booked tickets to LA leaving next weekend to visit my girlfriend and thought I'd apply for a b1/b2 so I could stay for longer than 3 months. Well it turns out they don't like it when you don't have a job and have a US girlfriend and I've been denied a visa. They said it was because...

So Citibank was good enough to get 25% bonus points last year (velocityrewards.com.au/content/Earn/CreditCards/CitiRewards/index.htm) but isn't even on the list this year? I've been waiting all year for this special to come around again and this time citibank isn't even on the list. Does...

So after about 2 hours on the phone all up, I have decided to stay with Citi Rewards for now, and convinced them to give me an extra 10k points so I got the 60k total. I think I'll wait until the next time Velocity offers a 25% bonus and transfer them all then. Does anyone know if this is...

When I applied for this card I did it over the phone and the rep led me to believe that the $49 QFF fee included the QFF membership fee. As I wasn't a QFF member yet I thought this was a good deal. Suffice to say, several weeks later I find I'm not enrolled in QFF and nobody seems to know what...

I have about 28,500 amex points and 20,000 citibank points (that really should have been QFF points). I forgot about the 1.5 to 1 conversion ratio, so 60k points is really only 50k velocity with the 25% bonus. If I convert amex and citi to Velocity and get the 25% bonus, that about 102k...

I recently got approved for this card with the QFF program. When I applied over the phone I specifically asked to be joined to QFF not Citi rewards. I also asked if it included the QFF joining fee of $88. I was told that if you paid the extra $49 a year it automatically joined you if you weren't...
