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...

Hi guys, I'm VA gold and need to book an economy redemption SYD -SIN flight on 28/08/15. Velocity want to dock me 37,500 points + $83.42. Keen to do a comparison with Krisflyer. Would anyone be able to give me an idea of total cost? They want me to create an account to search award bookings...

I opted in with Europcar about 2-3 years ago as part of Gold benefits. Could swear it was restricted for a year back then, after which you could change to Hertz if so desired. a) was that actually ever the case? b) has anyone had any luck changing? Tired of EC's sloppy service so thought I'd...

I'm about to start planning a family holiday to Europe. Looking at potential to upgrade using points, capacity to earn status, capacity to earn points and ease of access to gold benefits (more or less in that order) .. who do you think I should be booking with?

A mate of mine is in a slight pickle, having stuffed up and booked another flight for his partner. State of play is this: She will be on a flight ABC to DEF (one leg booking), but has a separate return booking for the same route starting the following day. The 2nd ABC to DEF seat she has no...

Hi guys, Booked an international flight about a week ago and submitted a price match. Needless to say their '3 business days' suggestion has long passed ... any ideas how long this typically actually takes? I don't have any status with them so would prefer avoiding the call centre if I can...

Hi all, I recently re-qualified for gold, a few months ahead of the mid-Feb deadline. I'm only on 555 SC and not flying all that much, so I don't think chasing platinum is really on the cards. My partner is currently pooling points to me. Does it make more sense to start sharing back in an...

I attained gold late last year, but never rent cars so didn't bother opting into VA's leg up for either Hertz or Europcar. That's now changed and I need to make two car bookings for an upcoming trip to France. Is anyone able to advise which is better in Europe / more willing to provide the...

Hello all, I've booked a multicity EY fare into MEL because it was significantly cheaper than SYD. I'm due to arrive at 6.10pm. Am now going to book a MEL -> SYD flight, ideally that night and ideally with VA. Does anyone know if it's at all possible to tack on a leg like this and join 2...

Hi there. The 2nd of my one-off passes expires in 2 weeks. I won't be flying before that unfortunately. a) Has anyone had any luck calling up and asking for them to push it back a month or so? b) My dad is flying Jetstar on Monday. I'm reasonably sure I can't use it to get him in ... or can...

Hi guys, A few questions. 1) Is the complimentary flight every year that you have the card, or Jan-Dec 12mth period? (Ie if you join in Nov would you have to book by Dec?) and 2) Must the return leg be booked at the same time? (ie if I'm unsure of my return date, could I book an outbound leg...

Does anyone have an idea why this flight has been delayed to such an extent? under 1.5hrs late departing ... but almost 10 late on arrival? BC Flight status for Emirates 412 Delayed arrives in 7 hours 37 minutes Departure DXB 11:38 (scheduled 10:15) Terminal 3 Dubai 4 Sep...

Hi guys, A friend of mine recently qualified for QFF Silver but had an old address listed on the account. About 1-2 weeks after qualifying for silver, she fixed it online and called but was told the pack has already been sent to old home and there's nothing they can do. There's apparently no...

It launched back in Feb apparently, has anyone spent time looking at it to see if there's actual value there? If so, where the value is (upgrades etc)? My partner and I are flying OOL -> KUL to start a Borneo trip, so I sense surely there'll be enough points earned there to counteract the 10RM...

Hey guys, In a bit of a sticky situation. Have booked flights BNE -> NAN for Feb 4..... and also 7 days accommodation on Coral Coast. We were hoping to stay a little bit longer, and as such waiting for confirmation from work about time off before booking flights home. Floods mean we're now...

Hi guys, Bit of a silly question here but something I'm not 100% sure on. I'm meeting some arrivals at SYD domestic airport. Was hoping to see them at the gate and then we'd head out to dinner. Was hoping to take a nice bottle of wine to said dinner. Will I be able to get a sealed bottle...

Hi guys, I'm flying a lot more with DJ now - and am getting over QFF's sloppy service - so am now looking at adding another FF CC to my wallet. I've been using only the ANZ FF for some time without hassle (enjoy Amex's earn rate), but sense it's time to direct most of my cash into velocity...

Hello all, Recently started to do a decent bit of flying so am on board and looking to learn and earn more. I'm somewhat of a FF noob, so hoping you can offer some sound beginner advice. For instance... I understand that best points value (be it Q or DJ) is always long-haul, yeah? I've been...
