    Re: AMEX Velocity Platinum: 100,000 bonus; increased earn rate of 1.5 ppd; ends 31 Ju Looks good if you are likely to use that domestic flight. Are there any bonus referral points for this one?

    Which program to sign up to? Cathay, Lufthansa or Singapore?

    I've booked a return flight to Europe for family based on cost. They will be flying on all 3 x airlines on the one ticket. They as are not members of any programs. I assume if they did accumulate enough points they would try and use it for a domestic flight rather than sticking with them long...

    So I'ma bit of a novice when it comes to QFF - I'm helping my parents organise a once in a lifetime trip. I have a TA holding some round the world flights with Qantas an Luftansa. I did a bit of digging around and it turns out parents have a whole stash of CBA credit card reward points ... So...

    Qantas has changed our flight - why?

    UPDATE - 20mins on hold, & on the phone for a total of 40mins I have some answers. The original flight was actually cancelled in JULY but notifications to individuals to move to another flight were only sent in the last couple of days. They have since put on the original flight back on. I...

    Qantas has changed our flight - why?

    Unfortunately it's the middle of the night there now, but hopefully they will let me know soon. I thought all of the hard work was done earlier on - its hurting my head!

    Qantas has changed our flight - why?

    We have family travelling from o/s. They booked all of their domestic flights from europe. We tagged along & booked on the same Qantas flight on 29 Dec from SYD - ADL QF751 (dep 1230, arr 1405). The reason this flight was originally chosen was because of the time it arrives, as we could then...

    Virgin Flyer 2-For-1 - Significant negative changes from Dec 1

    Sorry, what is pre-Sabre? I will give them a call to find out whether the fares I'm looking at are I class. If not, booking 2 x Business Class fares via the 2 for 1 is only $150 more expensive than Qantas' economy. Would def be a nice way to end a honeymoon!

    Virgin Flyer 2-For-1 - Significant negative changes from Dec 1

    Ah, makes sense! I guess we tend to use them for the first 4 x fligths that come up! (unless more travel is planned then we pick & choose) but i hadn't thought of it that way. In the 'old' system (ie. still current until Dec) are the Business Saver fares included? i could only see that the Sale...

    Virgin Flyer 2-For-1 - Significant negative changes from Dec 1

    Ahh.. ok, i just finished comparing the NAB Velocity card & its VISA only offers 0.5 points per $1 spent or if you go platinum, AMEX offers 1.5 points for every dollar (which is actually better then Virgin Money @ 1.25 points per $) - NAB Premium CC fee is $150 compared to Virgin 'uncapped' card...

    Virgin Flyer 2-For-1 - Significant negative changes from Dec 1

    Oh no!! I just checked my statement to find this info - this was one of the very few reasons why I had this credit card! At the time it also the best card to have in terms of earning point potential - or there any other credit card linked to Velocity? Or one that offers rewards as this use to?

    Making the most of 150k velocity points?

    Can you check the amount of points required by eithad on the velocity website? I've tried dummy dates from Melb to Singapore & it simply says thay there are no flights. Actually, how can one chekc how many points a partner airline requires?

    Making the most of 150k velocity points?

    Sorry, i completely got that wrong. You are correct, it's 152k (+200) for a return fare on anyseat. So, that could work... as it would only cost us 1 x full fare return that we wouddl hopefully get for $1200. This may be a viable option..

    Making the most of 150k velocity points?

    My monthly statement arrived today advertising 188k + $116 return BUSINESS. I was on the phone within minutes. Unfortunately the lady said they 'sold out'. I don't think that the language barrier helped. Any other way of gaining information without calling a call centre based o/s?
