Good to know. Have booked using $400 explorer credit and may need to cancel so was wondering what happened given the statement credit is already in my account. Seems I should hopefully be able to cancel and keep the $400 statement credit (if I need to cancel). Fingers crossed anyway.

Thanks for the updates. Just confirming, for the people who have received their Aeroplan bonus points. That they came through without transferring your HSBC star alliance points to Aeroplan?

I was also rejected recently, but for Amex Explorer. It would have been my third time holding the card and getting the sign up bonus. Each time held the card for just under 1 year and waited around 2 years between closing and reapplying. Interestingly, I wasn’t asked for any payslips or...

Domestically have got in with 4 people on the single membership (member, an adult guest and 2 children). This has been every time we have tried (around 20 times to date). Sometimes let known that we are not entitled to it. But have always been let in to date. Obviously doesn’t mean you will...

Thanks. I hadn’t tried to book since virgin available to book online. Seems like the online system still has bugs to be ironed out.

Any luck with this one? I am having the same issue. Search only show me the first few flights of the day. I want to book an afternoon flight, but not an option. Same on every date. Award flights are available on velocity website.

Anyone know. If I apply for this card late 2023. Meet the minimum spend early 2024 and request Air Canada Status, whether this would extend until end of 2025 or end of 2024? i.e. does the time start on the year the credit card was applied to or the year min spend reached and status commences?

Cheers for posting. Not totally disastrous. But minimal sweet spots now for virgin Australia. The way I read it, best deal seems to be less than 500 mile trip business class (10k Etihad Guest v 15.5k Velocity) - e.g. SYD-BNE, SYD-MEL, etc. Otherwise there are a few marginally better than using...

Did anyone end up doing this. I am hoping to apply for 2 x 250sc’s (1 for me, 1 for partner using family pooling). If I can hold off on earning the eligible sectors for a bit to activate closer to the expiry of kris flyer gold then maximise time with either kris flyer or velocity gold. But...

Any experience with signing up for the qantas sign up bonus (70k), but then quickly changing for the velocity earn (1.5pt/$ spent Internationally). Keen for the card for some upcoming international transactions and international trips.

Anyone have any experience with paying off a greater amount so the card is in positive credit to enable an upcoming charge which is in excess of the maximum credit limit? Not sure if this will work or has a fee attached?

Thanks for the update. I have an NAB card I plan to hold for a few more months as it holds my travel insurance for an upcoming trip and a Citi card I am about to cancel, so was tossing up the order of cancelling and applying for the prestige or whether to leave this one alone. Either way, at...

Thankyou. Flying economy. Will give it a go and see what happens.

Am I right in my reading that expiry is now end of 2023? Valid for travel by 31 December 2023. Travel must be booked by 31 December 2023...

Any experience with getting this card approved with another Citi and/or NAB card already in your wallet?

Anyone have any experience with whether there is any leniency at lounges for bringing my children in as additional guests to Singapore Airlines (or partner) lounges? I am kris flyer gold and trying to see how to bring in my partner and children. Interested in Sydney, Singapore and Heathrow.

have my exclusion period coming up for explorer in next couple of months. Seeing 70k sign up bonus (with 40k referral - partner has same card) so effectively 110k. Has there been any better deals in recent times?

Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. May I ask where did you get these details? I couldn’t find them easily in T&C’s. With Aeroplan granting VA lounge and covering 2 years for $450 (if applying in Jan), could be a worthwhile deal. If the card lasts in a similar form, I wonder if they...

With this recent virgin promo, tempted for velocity gold. However, recently got kris flyer gold. From what I can see the benefits of having both are marginal. Anything I am missing?

Trying to figure out whether QF complimentary lounge invitations are usable on OneWorld international partner lounges (e.g. Finnair, Qatar)? If they are, wondering whether they will make a child and and infant travelling with us use one (or if they are likely to be let the children come in with...
