I'm looking at stocking up on a few IHG points for a trip overseas later in the year. I'm aware of the "points + cash trick", but not sure if it still works these days. Can anyone provide further information?

I'm looking at cashing in a combination of Velocity and Citi Rewards points to book a one way trip from Sydney to Hong Kong, with a layover in Singapore. Still working out the exact flying times and layover length, but I wanted to confirm what benefits I can get as a Suites passenger on both...

Just signed up to the Dining Rewards program, specifically for a holiday in the US in a few weeks (the cost for the card with free night's stay is cheaper than paying for the night at my NY hotel). I'm staying at a Holiday Inn for 4 nights, and want to redeem my free night. However, it's...

Thought I'd throw this one out there and see what people think. I've just got back from a quick weekend trip away at the IC Double Bay in Sydney. Really lovely hotel, and my partner and I are keen on going back later this year for a spring getaway. I've been looking at the Dining Rewards...

Hi guys, I was in the US last week and made a couple of cross-country trips with VA in first class (well worth the extra money incidentally!). I've logged into my Velocity account and noticed that nothing has been credited yet. How long does it usually take for partner points and status to be...

Hey guys, I have to travel to the States mid-2015 for a buck's weekend and would love to do it in comfort and on the cheap if possible. The US Dividend Miles program looks appealing at the moment with its 100% points match deal, but I'm not sure whether booking Qantas/oneworld flights using...

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere obvious in the forum already, but I'm trying to decipher what fare codes correspond to which fare classes (i.e. Saver Lite, Flexi) on the Virgin booking page. Is there any info on the carrier's website about this, or does it involve a bit more of an...
