This is the exact time of cough scenario I could foresee occurring that led me post and ask the question here! Love the consistency that the first retro claim worked but the next one didn’t! I called Velocity to ask and they couldn’t even understand the question posed, let alone provide an...

That’s no worries… So I got a paid fare, premium economy MEL-SFO connecting to SFO-EWR. It’s offering me 30k Milage points plus USD$450 for both… but… MEL-SFO is available for upgrade but the upgrade for SFO-EWR is waitlisted. The waitlist is long for that flight and despite my Velocity status...

Ok great, thanks for the heads up. It’s never clear cut mixing programs and it’s not outlined anywhere

Question that I can’t seem to find an answer on… I have an upcoming international UA flight, booked through UA. I have entered my Velocity number on the booking to get Velocity FF/status points from the UA flights. Desperately need this to re-qualify status with VA… There is a Polaris upgrade...

Re: Have VA 'enhanced' Agoda? I noticed Agoda had vanished and came here to find out! Despite there frustrating flaws at times, Agoda was a great points earner for me. Virgin Holidays is a terrible system, the options compared other third party booking sites has minimal options. For example...

Hi Jiaqi, Thanks for sending through the information. We have flown Etihad previously in business and as mentioned, we are looking forward to another special experience. Regarding my original question, I could have articulated myself a little better. I was actually referring to this article...

Hi all, My wife and I are traveling to Frankfurt via AUH next month in J on a VA reward seat booked a long time ago. Doing some homework, I see that there is the classic 777 J seat on Etihad but also there is mention of their new 777s having the newer style seat, similar to their A380s. Along...

Thanks for all the advice. Activated the comp upgrade. Said 20 business days, wont hold my breath. I will be generous and after 25 days I will get in touch. Any updates I will post my progress....

Doesn't surprise me! I got my trip in September, you reckon if I activate it now I will have it by then? Prob not

Ok I will try that. Free night or points sounds good. I have tried asking the hotel directly and generally don't get much.

Generally with Wotif I use mystery deals or flaming deals. Keep an eye on emails for specials. I do check other agent sites (expedia etc) and even call the hotel and ask for corporate rates. Mostly I have been using Hotelclub for the points (plus status bonus) unless there is a great deal...

This is really disspaointing. I earned some good points through Hotelclub. Was happy to pay a bit extra but now will go the Wotif deals. Hopefully it gets replaced by a good engine

Have two questions with the Europcar Privilege comp upgrade. Cant find the answer in other threads... Currently have 'Privilege Executive' expiring December 2013. Thinking to pull the pin on the 'Privilege Elite' upgrade through VA as the extra benefits will be good for some personal use car...

Regarding points MEL-PER. Last couple trips got 2400 each way (1200base+1200bonus). Therefore as mentioned chip in another 500 points to upgrade and breakeven. Plus I would have to pay the upgrade to flexi cost. Currently at 9900 + flexi upgrade there is no real incentive. I can save up 70,000...

Hi all, read a few posts over time about extra perks for VA plats. Was thinking that half point flight upgrades for plats (even gold) could work for all involved. Last year I made the most of the half point promo and would have used it more if it were ongoing. I fly regularly MEL-PER return...

Funny you mention this. It makes me laugh every time I go in there, as every time I go in there she is there. If she isn't in there I can't help but feel something just isn't right, a somewhat empty feeling inside. Doesn't worry me but just don't squeeze too hard at the urinals as we all know...

Interesting, thanks rtyulop. Maybe they waiting for that to happen. If that's the case they either knew the systems wouldn't fully communicate before upgrading or they assumed it would and then they went live and realised... ohhh cough If that's causing the issue surely they could just let us...

Still waiting, not only for more rewards seats with EY but the fact that you cant even search on the VA site where the "from" is a EY international departure point. e.g AUH - MEL. These airports simply don't come up when put in. Only work when an Australian airport is "from" and then magically...

I was in MEL lounge last week and speaking to one of the VA girls about the sabre switch. Got onto topic of seat allocations and she told me that the issues with golds not being able to access these seats is a bug in the system and they are working to fix it

To be honest I'm not sure what the issue is. I always get a "welcome back Mr Amagz" when boarding. I never had my name and status announced over the PA and had a standing applause by those in the plane, nor do I expect it. I have always received flexi meal and mostly my J experiences have been...
