Thanks. Sounds like the beginning of the end for frequent flyer schemes to me. Looked at United also (been a member since the 90's) - same story. Unless you have millions of points you won't be able to get a flight.

I have been an AAdvantage member since 1984 and have generally been able to get flights at a reasonable points cost. Just got back from a five week,13 flight trip to Europe (all paid) and thought I would check AA for flight next year to Europe. I hadn't looked at the site for quite some time...

I was in SE Asia over the last three weeks and had the opportunity to try the new F lounge in Singapore. Arrrived just after opening and had a nice lunch and service (menu a little too similar to Sydney), but by the time we left at around 5.30 the general seating area was pretty full whilst the...

Thanks I have now reached Gold and should now qualify for Platinum, having 840 status credits and taking into account the 160 SC's from the Etihad flight. Can you confirm that I will qualify for Platinum as the activity took place within the qualification period even though the points may...

I recently qualified to have my Silver renewed and in the process have enough SC's for Gold subject to flight qualification. Two questions: 1. When does the clock start for the 4 flights - i.e. do any of the flights in the last six/twelve months count? Or is it from the Silver renewal date? 2...

UPDATE A week later and I still can't get an updated itinerary. The info in my online FF account is correct. Now about that CEO job - where do I apply?

Re the situation in HK - I'm sure you're right (I lived there for 8 years) but all of our engagements were in/around Central so really didn't need to deal with it and BTW I support the cause.

Probably both in this case..........

So I had a reservation for this weekend SYD/HKG/BNE/SYD. After consideration about the situation in HKG, decided to push the booking back a few weeks. Achieved this (most basic) online transaction OK, apparently. Tried to generate the new itinerary - no luck. The system kept sending me the old...

I have my 3 very pertinent questions, have been a QF frequent flyer for many years, have been a member of other FF schemes since they were invented (eg Pan Am) but because I have a life and don't spend it posting to this forum I can't participate. QF/Red Roo - any comments?

In the light of today's announcement I think my experience last weekend demonstrates some of the problems at QF. The Sweet - En route ex Delhi, via KL to SIN on MH J Class. My first time in the new SIN Lounge - absolute heaven wtith wonderful table service from Fay and Cielo and some of the...

Showing my age but I flew PR in the early 80's when they were one of the first to have flat beds (certified for take off and landing IIRC) on the F upper deck of the 747. SQ later introduced this as well. They also advertised their Chaîne des Rôtisseurs membership. I have flown SYD/MNL many...

Yet again CB are notable by their absence in the current 15% Velocity conversion campaign. Last time this happened I kicked up a fuss and they did something about so I guess I'll have to do the same again. Any other views/experience?

took five minutes online and car arrived within 3 days. That is the CARD arrived in three days. Amex aren't that generous.

Warning - beginning of rant. After the third call in three days from a call centre chasing up documents for verification, I finally told Virgin Money (Citbank) to cancel the application for a Virgin Australia Velocity VISA Flyer Card. I have been a Citibank Platinum member for 10 years, had...

Parked my car at T2 last week at the Valet Parking at T2 labelled as Pronto but operated by Secure Parking. It was damaged by them but I failed to notice until the next day. I submitted a claim but they declined to take any responsibility. The facts were pretty clear. the moral is you now need...

I just went to the Velocity web site and for the second time this year there is a 15% point transfer bonus in which Citibank are not participating. I have queried this with Citibank before but got the run around and the same from Velocity. Any one know anything more on this?

I had been waiting to convert in anticipation of one of these promotions. I emailed and rang Citibank Platinum customer service and they said they don't know why. This was after emailing Velocity first where I was told to call Citibank. I then emailed Velocity again stating that this is not...
