    Velocity Gold benefits when flying on Delta-issued tickets?

    Ahh interesting, I didn't know it was possible to get a card without Global Wallet. I'll look into that. Thanks for your advice!

    Velocity Gold benefits when flying on Delta-issued tickets?

    Thanks, I had no idea! I can forsee a lot of battles explaining what Velocity is to the DL Lounge staff but I guess it's worth it...

    Velocity Gold benefits when flying on Delta-issued tickets?

    Velocity Gold member here, but relocating to the US next year. What's the best way of ensuring I still have lounge access via Delta/Virgin America where possible? Is it simply a matter of entering my Velocity number in Delta's website when booking, and my Gold status will appear on the boarding...

    Have I left enough time to recheck bags in SYD?

    Ah, this didn't even occur to me. Thank you! I've got enough luggage allowance with Velocity Gold to check in his luggage. Then we can presumably just jump on the Virgin transfer bus and both checkin at SYD International without worrying about luggage dramas.

    Have I left enough time to recheck bags in SYD?

    Feeling a little worried about some upcoming travel arrangements - do I have cause for concern here? Work has booked me on a Friday morning 0600 MEL to SYD, arriving 0725; then 0950 SYD to LAX. This is all on the same booking, so my baggage will be checked through (I assume). I've separately...

    Work trip to Toronto and Fredericton - recommended sightseeing?

    Ah wonderful, thank you both! I really appreciate the thoughtful, personalised, friendly advice here. Rocky Mountains it is! Off to find those bears...

    Work trip to Toronto and Fredericton - recommended sightseeing?

    I was investigating this, and it really is very pretty; although perhaps not at the top of my Canada list. As you say, it's got a very similar vibe to something I can find closer to home. Now this looks wonderful! The Rocky Mountaineer looks a bit out of my price range, so I'm wondering if I...

    Work trip to Toronto and Fredericton - recommended sightseeing?

    @OzDuck, thank you! That's a wonderfully thoughtful reply. I seem to be turning into a history buff over the last few years, so this is wonderful. Niagra Falls and Toronto Island in particular sound fantastic. You legend! It's timed for late June/early July. Basically I've got half a day of...

    Work trip to Toronto and Fredericton - recommended sightseeing?

    I'll be travelling for work to New York > Fredericton (Canada) > Toronto. Have around 5-7 days up my sleeve in Canada for extra sightseeing. Any recommendations, especially for seeing some of Canada's beautiful nature? I'll be flying home via LAX so it's no issue to fly to the West Coast of...

    Does American Express use a global online banking platform?

    Re: Can any Amex cardholders test this out for me? Sad face. Well, I really really appreciate you taking the time to check. :)

    Does American Express use a global online banking platform?

    Re: Can any Amex cardholders test this out for me? @Brair1078, thanks for checking - if you select the "American Express Credit Card" entry, does that work with your AU login?

    Does American Express use a global online banking platform?

    Can any Amex cardholders test this out for me? I'm interested in signing up for an Amex card, but curious to see if it works with the budgeting app YNAB.com. If you've got an Amex card, it's free to test drive YNAB (no payment details required). Would you be able to test if your Australian...

    Reduction in Transfer Rates to Velocity/Krisflyer

    Yeah, I think we should assume that change is still on the horizon. Clearly they're losing money on some customers and they haven't participated in every 15% Velocity bonus points transfer offer lately. I'm on the fee free for life offer so I guess I'm still seeing it as something for...

    Reduction in Transfer Rates to Velocity/Krisflyer

    I'm the Leigh in question on that Facebook post. Was pretty surprised to see that response. I reckon they'll still change the transfer values down the track, but with the 90 days notice.
