Over on twitter they are advising 40 business days (so 8 weeks) for processing. I’m waiting on one that was submitted 21 June.

Friday afternoon SYD-MEL chicken katsu curry - the alternative was a vegetarian power bowl...

Yes, I visited The House lounge in March 2022. At that time I visited it was just the buffet food, not a-la-carte dining/table service.

I flew Hawaiian HNL-SYD last week on a velocity points ticket. I called a few times and the availability changed each time. I was not able to get the outbound ticket via points.

HA also has an online chat facility - I have used that to request the VA number be added. I agree with the comments to keep your boarding passes - I have done this a few times points/SCs usually come through, but not always. Another perk of flying business is you get 2 suitcases included -...

Mine came too - the day after they emailed and told me they investigated and I was ineligible ;) Ah well, at least they've arrived!

I got a response on Sunday - they investigated my case and this was only open to targetted members and I was not a 'targetted' member. They said if FlyBuys had sent me a targetted email I should forward it to them. However, I DID receive a targetted email, direct from Velocity - I have sent...

I followed up with Velocity - they say my request was 'escalated' on 5 June but they have no timeline of when the issue will be resolved -- anyone else have any luck?

My points did not come through either - I emailed Velocity on 2nd June and they are still 'looking into it.' Would be interested to hear if anyone else has success!

I qualified for gold a few months ago, and have earned some more SC's but won't achieve Gold again... got this offer and would easily be able to retain, but they won't let you requalify with 80 SC's if you already have gold status. Kind of frustrating since their targetting is so poor!

I accessed the LAX Board Room on Qantas Club membership, flying on an Alaska Air Flight # in Economy (booked through Qantas). It was quite basic, but was at least clean and quiet!

Thanks Coyote! Hopefully it will stay the same for me.

I am currently QF Silver, but due to no more work travel (boohoo) I'll drop back at the end of July this year. I'm actually planning a trip around that time (but am too far from requalifying to make it happen). If I book while still Silver, and select seats etc (hopefully better than average...

If you have a bit longer layover (5-6) hours, another option is to visit the 24 hour fitness on West Century Boulevard, and get both some exercise and a shower. In 2010 I was flying SYD-LAX overnight, then LAX-BOS overnight. I was able to walk down the road, do a workout, shower up, and relax...

Flying out of HKG in July I used the Traveller's Lounge (West Hall) - I had been out exploring for the day and wanted to freshen up for a night flight. For around US$50 I got a package that had 2 hours of lounge access, which included a shower and a bonus 15 minute chair massage (only...

I am still chasing points for a flight taken in late July. Rang the QFF call centre today, and they asked me to scan and email my boarding pass through to them. Hopefully it will post soon!

Might be -- I actually was posting on here when looking at the booking, wondering if there was any flexibility (as my year ended in May and I'd be flying in June).

Simongr - I saw your post and was concerned that I'd be in the same exact situation (as my double SC's had not posted a couple of weeks after travel) - what I learned from your post helped me to get my situation resolved, so thank you! Now I'll know to be extra careful next time (fingers...

From my experience it is correct that the creation of the PNR is what is being used to determine eligiblity. I had an existing PNR before the promotion, and was deciding which airline to fly with. After getting the offer, I asked my TA to cancel my booking and create a new one so that I...

Sorry to be vague before! About 60SC's I think, as I was looking at a trip to HK that would have pushed me over the line... but it was going to happen just too late to fit within my membership year. I have qualified for Silver for the past few years before this, I used to do a lot of...
