You can only upgrade on points long haul with virgin if you are SG or WP although you can purchase them outright with pts regardless of tier. If there are already seats on one leg why not book flex economy and upgrade immediately one way then cross your fingers for the way back. If your dates...

No points from 2 autobarn online in mid-late November (2 buckets... there must be a whole autobarn warehouse full of buckets that haven’t been picked up!). Went in and bought a $1 microfiber cloth yesterday. Will help with wiping up baby vomit!

Nothing yet from my auto barn purchases on 24/11. I haven’t collected my bucket yet. Any one have issues with no points when not picked up with autobarn? CC has been debited and velocity details included at time of purchase online. It doesn’t look like they include any velocity details in the...

how about if it was only 2 PE reward seats rather than 3 would the chances be that much better? I can use my AIA vitality benefit to book up to 10d prior to departure for a 50% discount (only applies for PE flex or freedom/elevate as far as I can find)

I thought it was 6mths advance booking for guaranteed economy reward seats using the platinum benefit?

Well... the risk is not excessive... we would still have economy reward seats booked. 1. If PE did come up we would lose 15k points in cancellation fees 2 if they don’t come up we lose 200sc and maybe 25k pts we would have got from booking paid fares (based on current double pts promo). But I...

But since My Lounge at least is virgin branded... or that was my take and virgin has not previously had its own international lounges I thought there might be a slim chance... I’m gold so it’s not a problem for me (I will use my +1 for my wife) but was hoping to guest some friends in for a trip...

I haven’t seen it in any of the news stories but does any of the knowledgeable folk on here know if the single use lounge passes will be able to be used at the new My Lounge? Or for that matter The House?

An increased sign up bonus is on again with the Amex velocity platinum with an increase from 50k to 75k bonus velocity points. While not as high as it has been previously, it is the best offer for this card in the last year at least. The perks are - 75k velocity points- obviously!! - 2.5pts/$...

Were you looking at 45+ days from now? As per the T&Cs booking 45d + prior to travel is required

If you have platinum flying duck you should be able to use the guaranteed reward seat?

Good job :). Virgin money high flyer 40k/mth for 3m... just watch the eligible spend criteria... no rates or other government payments among some other more minor exclusions https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/content/Specials/CreditCards/virgin-money-specials/

Just looking at Singapore website you could try entering flight details and see if she is eligible for a paid upgrade (not sure if you can only upgrade economy to PE or upgrade economy straight to business it is not really clear that I could find... if her aircraft isn’t equipped with PE then...

By my calculation you will need ~203000 velocity to transfer to kris to get 150000 KF accounting for the 1.35:1 transfer rate. You then need your velocity account linked to your KrisFlyer (go into your velocity portal and find the tab “link to partner airlines” or some such)...set that up and...

They are available out of Brisbane... we got 1 out of bris and booked one in economy for early Jan (really hoping another comes up closer to the day) and snagged 2 returns Honolulu-Brisbane for mid February! Done at around the 11m out! As someone else mentioned monitor aa.com but be aware that...

4mll is a very round number... I remember seeing one person winning multiple fly buys promotions in the one competition.....4* 1mill FB points winner??

Don’t listen to them... book your flights ... select your economy x and I highly doubt you will be re-allocated. It was pre economy x but I booked a flight 10 mths in advance as a platinum... selected row 3 and then dropped to gold 1mth later... flew my flights as a gold 9m later in row 3...

No you could book flights 11m out if you wanted to and select economy x and even if you dropped to gold still use them

Cancellation you would get a credit in their travel bank (ie.a credit with virgin). In this case cancellation fee is $300 so you would have 1300 (if fare you cancelled was 1600) to use towards a future flight with va.

It means you are charged a change fee and then the difference between the fare you paid ie. Around $1600 at the moment and the cost of the fare you want to change to when you change... normally return business class flights are around 3k to hk so you would pay the change fee + 1400 (if the fare...
