    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Hey all! Long time lurker, seldom poster. Owing to a new house my partner and I have not had the luxury of an overseas holiday this year so I'm going to loose my WP status :( So that I don't drop all the way to Silver, I'm in need of around 200SCs. Looking around with a target of ~$5 per SC...

    Some kind of new VA promo... but first, more data required

    Website is now "undergoing maintenance". Looks like someone didn't check things before sending out an EDM - well played.

    BNE to LHR Best options?

    I would ordinarily fly with a VA code share Singapore Air (SQ) flight by virtue their Flexi fares are much cheaper than flying with Etihad (EY) code share. Looking mid-week in October there's a ~$200 difference between SQ and EY. BNE -> SIN 60SC SIN -> LHR 80SC Two people, return is a nice...

    You can now "waitlist" for an upgrade

    I've just been placed a wait list BNE LAX return for March 3rd and 20th. Looking at the seat selection, there's only 30% sold on the way there and almost 50% sold on the way back. I was talking to a Platinum Velocity team member who advised that it's a gamble really and it's up to Virgin to...

    New Changes to Citi Cards

    I currently have the signature card with $0 annual fee for life. I put through a good $100k per year on the card :/ The $35k per year of international spending really really hurts! What do you think my chances are calling them up, telling them of my intention to cancel unless I get an upgrade...

    Is a better lounge option in SIN coming for VA Platinum?

    Can't argue there, it's a hell of a lot easier getting VA Platinum than becoming a PPS club member.

    15% bonus transfer issue with citi

    I've had the exact same issue :( Despite the date being correct in the email I even received from them, the date is wrong in my Velocity account. I'll try and call them again later tonight. EDIT: I phoned Citibank, the rep said 'sorry, our system says the 30th'. I asked for the issue to be...

    Flexi fares seem to be increasing

    You get more points but no additional SC. I've had mixed results with getting Fly Ahead if I don't have a flexi and I'm WP.

    Flexi fares seem to be increasing

    The only value they really offer is Fly Ahead and SCs

    South African Airways - Double Point offer

    Big difference in fair prices, I chose to fly with Singapore Air earlier this year MEL -> JNB as there was a ~$500 price difference for a Flexi.

    15% Bonus Pts (to 31 May) and 15% off Reward Seats (to 30 June)

    Funny how they were advertising points transfers with no bonus last month ;) At least CitiBank is on this one, unlike the last ?two? :cool:

    Same here, I was looking for the bonus offer. No bonus, no transfer.
