    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    This is a good tip, wish I read it earlier. Experience today at SYD was one of teething issues. QR check in staff weren’t sure what VA Gold lounge status would be, but said try AirNZ lounge. Didn’t give me a lounge pass. Sure enough, AirNZ turned me away saying VA status doesn’t get entry on...

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    I called today to explore what options they could provide to encourage me to keep my Plat Charge card another year. I wasn't offered any decrease in annual fee or bonus points. All they could offer was using 200k MR to pay for the annual fee. 0.725c/MR, not great. Bit on the fence with...

    St George Ampliy Signature card. 100,000 Amplify points. NO FEE!

    Anyone receive their bonus points yet? I signed up with it was the 120k QF bonus for a $179 annual fee. I got the card 20 August, hit the minimum spend by 30 September. Just had the second statement issued. I suspect the points won't be paid out until the third statement, or something naff like that

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    I hold a Plat Charge and an Explorer. Explorer was coming up for renewal. I tried the various lines that have been posted here, tip toeing around to carefully avoid saying cancel or retain. "Coming up to the renewal date, and deciding whether the card provides me with any benefit". "Are there...

    ANZ Frequent Flyer Black double points offer

    I just noticed on my most recent statement, I got promotion points equal to what I spent (in effect a bonus 1ppd). On my previous statement, I got bonus points from June 1. Hilariously I never received an email, but I'm assuming then that my card is on a double points offer. I was about to churn...

    HKG lounge crawl 10 June 2018

    Thanks @JessicaTam for the organisation, it was a fun day meeting people and lounge crawling! I squeezed in a cabana visit in The Wing F right as my flight started boarding. A quick experience, but it was great to see In terms of food and dining I preferred the experience at Pier F. Feels like...

    My flight into HKG got cancelled, CX moved me to CX421 which gets in at 13:55. So see ya somewhere around then! Should we do a WhatsApp thread for discussing the more realtime logistics of meeting up on Sunday?

    HKG lounge crawl 10 June 2018

    Flights booked! I'll be getting in at midday, and flying out at 20:25 on CX715. Flying J with no status so if a WP could assist with guesting me into lounges above my reach that'd be great ;) I can guest 2 into the Centurion lounge if anyone wants to try that

    HKG lounge crawl 10 June 2018

    I'm interested! What time do you think it'll kick off? I don't have *O status but I'm planning on flying CX J to SIN that night, departing 20:25. If a platinum would be available to guest me into the F lounges that'd be awesome :)

    Can I collect a Lufthansa boarding pass at Changi?

    It looks like the Lufthansa mobile boarding pass option will work for you. http://www.lufthansa.com/us/en/Mobile-Boarding-Pass-available-on-many-routes-worldwide My reading of that link is that you can check in with your phone, get your boarding pass on your phone, and not have to print...

    VA awards now showing on Expert Flyer

    Re: Expert Flyer | Now Featuring VA Awards I don't think this is working for business reward seats. For example, searching on VA right now for SYD-LAX with dates of 01/06 and 18/06, VA shows VA23 (MEL-LAX) and VA2 (LAX-SYD) as having business rewards available. ExpertFlyer doesn't see those

    The Explorer Credit Card (New AMEX Card!)

    I currently hold Plat Charge and Explorer, and I signed up for them in that order. When my Explorer card activated ~4 months ago, it was linked to the Plat Charge card and I didn't receive the signup bonus. I had them unlinked, then upon re-spending $1500, the bonus appeared. Great success. I am...

    ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure now 60,000 velocity points; 1 domestic return flights

    Re: ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure now 60,000 velocity points; 1 domestic return flight Do does that mean they credit your ANZ rewards with 120,000 points there? As it is a 2:1 cash out to Velocity The way it was branded though makes me think it was only for velocity, not general purpose ANZ...

    Double Status Credits Offer- Nov 2 - 31 Dec - targetted

    I received both offers. There is no explicit mention that the double SC flights have to be booked through the VA website - only that booking and flying has to occur between those dates and the flights have to be marketed and operated by VA. I'm considering booking through Amex Travel and using...
