    Best way to blow 1.5M Velocity points

    What would you do? I'd like to go to Scotland next year, but SQ in J is only 348,000 Velocity points. I am Canberra based, so SQ is very handy, with a CBR > SIN route and easy redemptions.

    Good Customer Service Experience

    Long Haul Points Upgrade

    Hi all, Normally I fly J for work CBR > LAX, but am heading over to the USA for leisure in March next year. I don't especially want to spend the $ for a full-fare J trip, but economy is quite torturous for me as I am 6'7"+ with a big frame and have rheumatoid arthritis. This makes me keen to...
