One can only speculate, but presumably their existing contract with Visa was coming to an end, so they went to tender and MC came up with the goods $$$, which would include income for a number of things, including paying for migrating existing Visa card holders to MC if they chose. I had a...

Aplied Monday, approved yesterday. Currently have Commbank Diamond Awards on no annual fee too due to upgrades over the years and wealth package, however thought this might come in handy down the track. Wonder what their other products are like - might consider moving some other stuff across...

Must be why they are doing rounds of upgrades recently. About a month ago I got sent Diamond cards in the mail offering a free upgrade, all I had to do was activate and destroy old cards etc. And a friend also recently got the same but for Platinum cards. I'm not complaining, yet, unless this...

Whilst the casino obviously paid for some of it, the reports that it was all funded by them were incorrect. Particularly the chartering of the jet was not by the casino, nor were the nights out partying. It was privately funded by an associate/friend of many of the stars (confirmed to me by a...

I was actually staying at The Darling where they were all staying, and spent a couple of days lounging by the pool with those two plus many others who had joined the ride - it was quite an epic trip, including bar tabs in the hundreds of thousands over a few nights (paid for by the guy who...

Up in Sydney at The Star Casino bash, staying at The Darling - haven't seen the Sydney fireworks in person before so pretty excited!

Yep. 1A. I had it on a flight from Perth early September.

Yesterday was the last day you could convert credit card points to velocity with 15% bonus points attached - could have had something to do with it due to high traffic.

Was going to mention the same flight Bofter - Old config A330 with I believe 27 seats in Business Class - all full except 1 seat - which happened to be the seat next to me (which I thought was strange given it was seat 1B) but I wasn't going to complain!

Should have booked the 5:30 flight to Perth on the 4th - new A330 per the seating plan.

My guess is the swap may have been as a result of the damaged new A330 that was being towed and clipped wings with a stationary JQ aircraft (see thread in travel news - can't post link as not enough posts...)

In what is truly maybe even more elite than a first world problem - I keep asking to be allocated NOT row 1 when flying PER-MEL as I am tall enough to reach the bulkhead, and always choose row 2. Alas, just went to check in today for flight this afternoon/evening back to MEL and I have been...

FWIW a flight was booked for me today for PER-MEL-PER 22nd May returning 27th May and VA said that both legs are on a/the new A330. Looking forward to seeing what their new J seats are like...

I had the same problem danoleary55 - but called Virgin and they moved me no problem. It has worked for me before using half-points upgrade, but this time it didn't, not sure the reasons...
