HI all, sorry if this is a simple answer, but I can't find any flights at all from Australia to new york via the VA website, I have saved up 83,950 Velcocity points and would love to fly 2 people Perth to New york but can't get the website to show me any options at all, whether we are...

excellent thank you both for your responses, I appreciate your shared knowledge immensely. I am currently looking at car hire within Oz and was hoping this card means I don't have to buy additional insurance with the car company on top of the hire fee, that seems to make sense, thankyou both!

Hi everyone, after much lurking here I finally have entered the CC game. I have an AMEX which is earning great velocity points but doesn't have car rental insurance coverage. I now also have the ANZ rewards velocity card that was advertised recently here as well as on point hacks. I am now about...

Thanks Mattg! Haven't done any flying in the US so not sure about the service etc of each airline!

arrrgh i have just booked Mel-LAX on the 6th! I've now registered, do you think there's any chance of them giving me the points earn if I call up and plead my case?

thanks all, looks like i've left it quite late. Okay, looks like i'm gong to go non-status earning premium economy on the SYD LAX return leg, and looks like i'll have to buy a ticket for the LAX-LHR return leg. does anyone have any advice on preference over whether i fly delta or Virgin...

hey Affers, i have been learning and observing the knowledge in these forums in terms of lounge benefits, travel booking, and now my attention has swung onto the credit card section. I've never had one, having a travel money card and a bankwest debit card for all my transactions, but the...

Hey Aff fellows, after trawling the JASA thread and having 350 status creds on Qantas- needing another 350 till gold, i thought i would try my hand at doing a "status run"? by the end of last year i was 80 sc short of gold, and i am currently in the double status credit promo period so i...

thanks all for your replies. i leave melbourne in the mornings, and come back from sydney at nights. its all booked by an agency so i don't really have control over departing flight but the return flight is normally flexible in case the work goes over. i'm going up next week so i'll see if i can...

wow thanks for all the great replies everyone ! sorry missed some deets- yes Qantas is the one i was referring to, would've helped to mention that! and flying in economy. so the only way to tell on the day (with the ticket booked by an agent days before) is to go into the seat selector and...
