    Velocity status on Singapore Airlines

    Hopping on an old thread, but I have a SIA award flight in Y in July. No status on SIA but VA Gold. Has anyone got into the lounge with VA status on a SIA award flight? Thanks.

    Additional Benefit on Velocity Earning Cards: 40K Points, 6 Months Gold or $300 Travel Bank

    As a velocity red, but just switching strategies due to now being able to make use of family pooling, I was considering the Gold for 6 months but hadn't actually got out a spreadsheet to work out whether it would allow retention. Status matching is something I hadn't considered but would be...

    First Class Oneworld RTW Award - your experience? was it worth it?

    You can actually do up to I think 16 flight segments, just only 5 stopovers (international transits <24 permitted on top - can't remember the rule for domestic transits). So provided you wan't to stop at all your listed ports, and didn't want to stop at LA it's fine to include (provided it meets...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Whilst the most common way to use this is as a RTW, in fact it's just a One World Award rather than a round the world ticket. :)

    re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I have booked an entire 140k online, however only because I booked when ALL flights were within 12 months. The main reasons to book over the phone are to get access to flights that don't appear on Qantas website, and to make...

    Macquarie 40k for 99

    Macquarie is the only bank I've ever been rejected from. Twice. Income > $100,000. Don't get it. Not many cards at the time. Good credit rating. Last time was about 18 months ago so may be good for one more try.

    New Changes to Citi Cards

    Maybe not so much for others but I just this card for BPay of every bill I could possibly BPay. For me, I think that is the biggest loss. I was recently advised to cancel this card as it puts a big dent in my borrowing capacity and I'm like no way - fee free for life with a 1:1 on QF points...
