If you buy an iphone overseas, best to check the bands it supports as they do vary by region. You may not get optimal performance using some overseas phone models in Aus or vice versa. Details below: https://www.apple.com/au/iphone/cellular/ Just checked and France is the same as the...

I saw that too. Not sure if it really has been confirmed due to the velocity setup via a different entity. I managed to transfer half of my point balance across to sq Another 30% redeemed via velocity win and gift cards two weeks ago - none of which have even been marked as shipped. The final...

I still haven’t received my wine from order two weeks ago. Showing packed and not sent. Meanwhile order from qf using points ordered a couple of days ago will arrive tomorrow or Wednesday

Bad news in my opinion - Qantas points are easy to earn elsewhere - one less VA regular option now - I have too many compared to Velocity, and award availability despite recent changes aren't great - I much prefer VA and EY for booking domestic awards last minute as more options and taxes a lot...

fees are roughly the same as VA's - roughly as they are priced in Emirates currency - dirhams?

yeah just call and book. If you're booking trans tasman sometimes there's an issue as the operator is not technically virgin australia - if you get that hang up and speak to someone different. The process probably takes 15-30 mins for them to book a simple virgin redemption as most operators...

Yes the new F lounge is fantastic. Had the degustation there - ran out of time unfortunately as had to board the flight. I'm told they have now ended this due to cost cutting across the board at EY.

Agreed. makes me want to avoid AUH. Even travelling in F there's no streamlined process and have been in situations where I had to wait like a herd of cattle coming off an A380. Wonder if residence guests have a smoother transfer...

Ok that's just my personal valuation based on them relative to other miles or point currencies. VFF would be near the bottom of my list too. I'm just keen to find out what uses of QFF make it your FF currency of choice compared to all the others out there. The high YQ plus poor availability of...

I'm interested as to why only QFF? They are one of the worst currencies by my calculations in terms of spending power when compared to others - interested why you selected QFF out of all the point and miles currencies out there? Is that mainly through flying or do you actively seek to go out...

I got refused on first call - aussie number but around 9 pm. spent 29 mins on the call. Politely hung up. Just called the UK number at 10 pm. managed to book to NZ on a "Operator: Virgin Australia International for Virgin South-East Asia" flight No issues the second time. And call took only 13...

Well done. I personally don't place any value in status as I fly j or f most of the time so would be interested in how you quantify the value of such status as you fly similar to myself in purely j or f. Serious question. Even after tax let's assume with round figures it cost 7.5k. Also need...

Do you mind sharing the barcode? I've been looking to do this too and wondered whether I can create a barcode to pay my bill. In theory you can with cash or eftpos but my bill has no barcode on it.

Yeah last day indeed!just figuring out which card to use. World seems to have it or rewardpay on bus acc

doh - missed that - and the 7.5% one just got canned today.

Less big w gift 10%? Where? PM me if secret please! Best I've found is 7.5% on CR which got pulled today.

Deal seems to be dead/pulled despite them emailing me about it earlier this morning. Managed to buy a bit though

Hi Kooky, I just logged in and no change - it is still 2:1 transfer rate. It adjusts rates once logged in. Some of the lower cards and affiliate cards are lower. Mine (prestige is 1 KF/$. Signature is 0.74 KF/$). I don't think you'll find a better rate since the change in interchange fees.

It depends on your card. Prestige is 2:1 which gives an effective earn rate of 1PPD local and 2.5PPD overseas. Signature should be the same conversion rate for domestic spend but lower cards and affiliate ones I think have changed too.

Had issues yesterday morning. Was ok early hours this morning 1am Sydney time
