Hi everyone, getting many things organised for birth of our first :) Have a question re this. Can anybody confirm whether they have started Velocity status pause before baby is born (i.e. when partner is heavily preg, off work & can't travel)?

Similar question to nightelves .. I am about to cancel my card. It just ticked past 12 months, so the $450 qantas credit is available. Hypothetically - if I book something, spend the credit in full then cancel the card (within the grace period to get full refund of annual fee) .. what happens...

BNE domestic closed for maintenance today. Plumbing .. sounded like it won't be a quick fix

Can anyone confirm if YakPay will generate normal points for ATO spend (ANZ FF)? Would you recommend this as most simple process, if not, which? I see EBP is currently not taking sign ups. Feel free to message if easier. Thanks in advance.

Does anybody have first-hand experience of using the $129 voucher after closing their Virgin Money card? From memory there was a suggestion account needed to remain open. Suspect that would be hard to enforce once the voucher is generated.

The problem was caused by a previous change not being correctly processed and charged by Qantas. This didn't come up when final flight was initially added (by a South African rep), nor in last night's conversation (with a South African senior). Explained this morning by operator from Hobart, who...

Thanks for your quick response. Yes. They acknowledged the smaller amount (which I had agreed to be charged to the card provided) was communicated but that was a mistake and insisted there is no scope for that original amount to be honoured. Essentially, do not pass go unless I pay 8x the...

Does anybody have experience with taxes changing dramatically between booking and ticket confirmation? I was advised that $X was owed a few days ago during a call, having added final few legs to complete oneworld booking. Agreed to pay, provided CC details and patiently waited for email to come...

Iberia flights to US look like hard work. Am now thinking about doing something this (especially given AY surcharge): SYD-NRT-HKG-FCO-HEL-LIS-HEL-BOS-DFW-SYD Plan would be both stops in HEL less than 24 hours, so they're transits rather than stopovers. Doesn't come up while searching rewards...

Thanks everybody. Decided to pounce on available CX flights a few days earlier. Very excited to have started the process. Will now keep an eye out on SYD-NRT on JL. There's no requirement that at least one of the legs is QF is there (this is another element of RTW redemption I've seen mixed...

Thanks for this. No status. What would you recommend as best search tool? BA and QF websites both not letting me see results for 12/10.

Thanks for this. Is AY a superior J service than Cathay/Qatar, or do you think availability will be tough on either of those? QF already showing no availability for Oct 3 SYD-NRT but I'm right to think JL hasn't released seats, yeah? Is it possible to book the 2nd leg of RTW first (and then...

Hi all, This is my first attempt at planning and booking a RTW trip. Business for 2 pax (more than a little bit worried about finding availability). We're pretty flexible on cites and dates, so hopefully that helps. Appreciate any and all feedback you have re: *Should we book each leg...

In your first post here you showed VA's emailed response (partly redacted) then claimed "they admit I was overcharged". That email from VA actually suggested "we have confirmed that the charges made were charged correctly". From my reading, that is anything but VA pretty clearly stating they...

NARRATOR: They didn't. Something has clearly gone amiss and am sympathetic as can understand this has created financial stress for you, but it doesn't help anybody to misrepresent VFF/VA.

Many thanks for all your responses. They're sending through a letter of eligibility - confirmed all is fine. Even if I didn't have the ANZ Qantas card, it'd be fine. You're able to close the CC account and still make use of coverage that was activated earlier on (for future trip).

Hi all, I recently (and stupidly) closed my ANZ Rewards Black card, having spent $250+ on it while booking an upcoming trip. I then opened at ANZ Qantas FF Black card (which I still have open). I qualified for coverage at the time of booking, does anybody know if that coverage is still in...

Seeking advice on following.... I applied and was approved for a Plat Edge card on April 27. The congratulatory messaged noted 'you'll receive it within 7 business days'. I've since made 6 or 7 follow-up calls but still no sign of it in the mail, or any timeframe on when it might be sent out...

This is absolutely spot on. Bookmakers also have no hesitation restricting bet stakes or even closing accounts of successful punters. As for those who clearly have a problem, they're happy to bank as much profit as possible. It is not a good industry at all - a little surprised to see VFF jump...
