    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    That's a good price! I need 250 before 29th Dec to for platinum (from SYD). Any hot tips taking advantage of the double SCs? thanks edit: I could drag a family member along for family pooling if it was economical to do so.

    Hey everyone... by the lack of response, I'm guessing no one has any good ideas? thanks for reading.

    Thanks. It's about 1.25m in Amex ascent premium. There's also roughly 450k in Velocity, and 250k in QFF.

    ANZ QFF card earn rates enhanced™

    Re: ANZ QFF/Rewards card earn rates enhanced™ My annual fee is due in a couple of months so I've just applied for a Coles Mastercard to replace ANZ Black as my daily use personal card. In recent times I've been mostly redeeming velocity anyway.

    AMEX Centurion Benefits List for 2016

    Facts: 1. Centurion isn't a credit card, it's a charge card - so no limit. 2. Already have Plat Charge (hence the Centurion invite) - also no limit. 3. You provide no facts, or even on topic discussion... you're just trying to get a rise out of me by being rude and disrespectful.

    AMEX Centurion Benefits List for 2016

    That's not the point. Saving 30% isn't an incentive. Question was about alliances permitting members to sell status.

    AMEX Centurion Benefits List for 2016

    I received an "invite" for Centurion yesterday; $5k joining fee and $5k / year. Not going to take it up based on the joining fee (seriously - can anyone explain the rationale?). Even at this price point - only airline status offered is Emirates. Question: Do StarAlliance and OneWorld strictly...

    Veda Credit Scores and American Express Applications (esp Plat Charge)

    Only if you plan on applying for more credit. In my experience, a score starting with a 5 is likely to cause an auto-rejection. Took me about 6 months of resting to recover to a 650+ score.

    What's going to happen to the Krisflyer card?

    Is that also the case with business cards? I thought business Visa/MC (eg CBA Diamond) could continue to charge higher interchange.

    Veda Credit Scores and American Express Applications (esp Plat Charge)

    I'm a paying customer of Veda and I emailed them asking why my score disappeared for a day on the 10th then on the 11th reverted back to the pre-CCR score; no response.

    Changes to VedaScore

    Definitely only once per month on the same calendar day. I sort of figured this out when I was using getcreditscore - but with a paid Veda it's explicitly confirmed (in the FAQ). This is subject to change when they eventually get CCR live.

    Does anyone still think VA is superior?

    I book travel for myself, my family and three interstate staff members. With VA I can keep myself, the three interstates and my wife in SG. If we flew QF, despite > 25k in annual company spend, none of us would have any status above silver (some only red). So, service level doesn't really...

    two checks per month, but Veda only updates the score once per month anyway... so no benefit either way. Purported changes on Jan 10 were meant to provide intramonth updates.

    Changes to VedaScore

    My (paid login to Veda) is now showing my 6th Jan score, and an updated date of 6th Jan. This morning it showed an updated date of 10th Jan but no score. So I'd say they've had technical problems and have rolled back the changes (for some of us at least).
