    Commencement of new membership year - benefits

    Would echo the other comments, while they probably should expire at review date historically the actual expiry date for comps has been a few weeks after this for me. Can also confirm I have used one of the "old" upgrades after noticing it technically hadn't expired after the account came back...

    Saver Lites no longer available on some domestic routes

    Hi Rep, Do a lot of SYD -> CBRs and have just noticed the Saver Lite fare class no longer appears to be bookable? Looking a bit deeper this seems to be the same on a considerable number of "regional" routes too (eg BNE -> BDB, SYD -> ABX). The common theme here seems to be ATRs but that may...

    re: Happy Hour returns Good news VFF. Any word on whether this will be integrated into the VA 'Flight Specials' app again?

    Saving a few dollars getting to Syd airport...

    From the T&Cs... "The travelling group must be related by family and include at least one adult and one child aged up to 15 years (or 16-18 with a current NSW Senior Secondary Student Transport Concession card)"

    Virgin Australia - Promo Codes (ongoing)

    Re: Virgin Discount Code You tried via the 'Full' site, ie not the mobile version? Just tried NQZ47 and for some reason it doesn't work via the mobile site but does via the Desktop site.

    737 Row 3 legroom

    Thanks. Haven't flown a VA 737 for a few years but am very familiar with E90s so just needed to confirm the legroom in row 3 on both aircraft is basically the same (assuming so). Reason being will be travelling with someone who has just had knee surgery and won't be able to bend their knee much.

    737 Row 3 legroom

    Rather than start a new thread anyone able to advise how the row 3 legroom on a 737 compares to row 3 on an E90? Also whether the J legroom on a 737 is any more than in row 3? Thanks.

    Advice on family pooling and where my points should go

    Hi bobcat, If you're no chance of hitting Plat then definitely pool back to her. If you've already requalified any SC you're earning above the 400 needed are in effect going to waste. When mid Feb comes around you'll need to earn another 400 between then and mid Feb 2015. You can't earn...

    Using Complimentary Upgrades on Flights booked with Points

    Economy reward seats appear to book as Saver so this may have closed that option, as scwappy has indicated.

    VA7 delayed - alternatives?

    Assuming you're on the DL flight to MCO which from memory leaves at about 9:30am? Even if you could get re-routed to VA1 ex SYD you'll find it won't get in early enough to make the connection. Keep your fingers crossed!

    Virgin Australia + Delta (26 hour stopver)

    You can certainly check your bags all the way from Orlando to Sydney with Delta. I did this a few days ago (going via LAX and MEL). Not too sure on the stopover side of the equation though as we went straight through.

    How does status re-qualification work [timings]

    Yep your review date will only change if you go up a level. If, for instance, you dropped back from Plat to Gold and then re-qualified Plat 4 months after, your review date would reset again.

    Credit Card Surcharge on Reward Bookings

    Yes and no in the case of reward bookings, which I guess is the point I'm getting at. I haven't been charged a surcharge on these before for any amount (though its generally less than $100 so YMMV). If you're only offering one form of payment (credit card) and then charging to use that, it's a...

    Credit Card Surcharge on Reward Bookings

    Hi VFF, Made a reward booking last week and noticed for the first time that if you go for Points + Pay there is now a credit card surcharge on the cash component. Playing with the figures this seems to be for any amount greater than $50. While I don't really have a problem with that, there is...

    Requalification

    Probably stating the obvious but there are 2 counts at play here - your rolling 'Status Credit Balance' and those required to maintain a level of status. The Status Credit Balance is only applicable to going (up) from one level to another, and as you say can almost be an art in itself planning...

    Requalification

    Hi blingy90, your review date will not reset again unless you hit Platinum. The velocity site will show 'Achieved' under SCs required to maintain Gold in Feb but won't be reviewed again til Sept, so your second interpretation is correct (you'll have it til Sept 2015). Probably best to switch...
