I'm thinking of signing up for this program and wanted if anyone here had signed up for it and their thoughts on the program. As far as I know, the only real benefits are dining benefits within Australia. I heard the cost was around $339AUD. Has anyone got a better deal?

Sad that there is no longer any platinum lounge benefit at Melbourne, Brisbane or Sydney as per the benefits website. "ACCESS TO EXECUTIVE LOUNGE Upon request and subject to availability on arrival at the hotel, if existing (except Sofitel Melbourne, Sofitel Brisbane and Sydney)." I thought...

Hi, does anyone know where I can find a copy of the upper class menu for Virgin Atlantic from Sydney to Hong Kong (and vice versa)? Their website only has generic information. Many thanks in advance.

Some third party sites don't give the option to enter in VA velocity member numbers when booking partner airlines, eg Virgin Atlantic. Would it be a case of contacting Virgin Atlantic directly after making the booking to ensure the VA number is recorded? Thanks in advance.

I am a Gold VA member, however work as booked me into a Qantas flight (yeah, I tried to get around it). Does that mean I'm unable to use the VA lounge in Sydney? Cheers

Hi, has anyone used the departure lounge site (www.departurelounge.com.au) to book accomodation from Mantra, and is it any good? It is a password protected site, which you can get access to buying an Entertainment Book. Cheers

Based on recent discussions, apparently for rewards stays, it is IHG policy that there is no obligation for IHG properties to grant any elite member privileges. Fortunately however, many other IHG properties do indeed offer these benefits. Which hotels do you know of that are generous, and which...

"Hotel Room Upgrades benefit for Platinum Members does not extend to Reward Night reservations." Priority Club Rewards | Priority Club Terms and Conditions A pity really, as it does mean that reward stays are treated as second rate. Fortunately though, there are many IHG properties that do...

Is anyone a member of the Conrad connoisseur club? Conrad Hong Kong - The Connoisseur It says it is by invitation only. Looks good with 15% off dining. I wonder how one gets an invitation?

Which IHG hotel would be best for HK Harbour views for say the NYE fireworks? I only know of the Intercontinental (but not sure which rooms would be the best) Any other good options? Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking of taking Virgin Premium Economy from Sydney to Hong Kong on a direct flight around December, even though the fares are quite pricey. I feel the Premium Economy Deal would be the best option. Does anyone know: 1. Whether meals are included, and if so, what is usually served? 2. I...

I'm a Gold Virgin Australia member but am very confused on how to book a flight from Sydney to Hong Kong and take some advantage (if any) from the Gold Membership. Does anyone know the best way to do this? possibly through Singapore airlines or Virgin Atlantic? Thanks in advance

I'm interested to know what the payoff for Priority club is compared to other hotel programs. Does anyone know what other hotels offer? ie Priority Club: Average Points Awarded Per Night: 10*150=1500 Average Points required for a reward night: 30,000 (Assumptions: Base Membership, Price of...

I quite like the idea of serviced apartments with at least 2 rooms and kitchen. That way you can prepare your meals (if you wanted) and have a proper sized fridge as well. Failing a 2 bedroom suite at a hotel (which obviously would be hideously expensive), I think a serviced apartment would be a...

Hi, just a few questions on this program 1. Are there 4 tiers? Ambassador, Gold Ambassador, Platinum Ambassador, and Royal Ambassador being the highest? 2. If one wanted to jump straight through to Platinum should they buy those referral vouchers on ebay (approx $700) and also sign up for the...

Is it true that all Gold members have priority baggage? Because I went on a domestic flight with Virgin and I thought Gold Members had priority check in baggage? Anyway, mine wasn't (and I'm Gold). Sent off a complaint to Virgin a few weeks ago but haven't received a reply yet :evil:
