    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Its great they keep extending but I'm also not happy. I did achieve the initial 155sc challenge to keep gold by 31/12 but this hasn't been acknowledged and I haven't received the new QCredits on my anniversary date (28/2). These are very valuable when I can get a biz flight upgrade between Aus...

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Thanks Bibendum and BNEFlyer - Was hoping VA/QR make an announcement and could get qcredits on VA metal but time is running out. VA/G will run out in Feb'23 but figure QR/G can compensate for both for an extra year. AKL-ADL: Can't do it in just eco but can with a mix of 1bz & 31ec ADL-AKL-ADL...

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Has anyone got the QR G/P renewal from the status match by flying on VA? I have VA/QR Gold and QF red (never use them). I have 116 QCredits and need 34 QCredits to renew Gold by 31/12/22. Any ideas/advice for the easiest and cheapest way to get there locally? cheers

    Qatar Airways lounge access on award tickets

    My QR app has reinstated the new gold extension but oddly it hasn't done the same on my pc version. I prefer using the pc for searches and I'm especially keen to see where I can use the 40 Qcredits for an upgrade. Has anyone else experienced this issue and did you resolve it, if so how?

    Has anyone booked to fly in December?

    The time for me to book speculatively is being squeezed anyway as my SQ 6 month extension for a large amount of expired points is due Dec and if they don't extend again I will definitely book speculatively for mid 22 to France (family reasons) and return via Istanbul because its a great points...

    Velocity cuts points, lounge access & upgrades on some partner airlines

    Michael Murphy knows full well that Competition Judges judge what they see and score accordingly. I gave Bain the benefit of doubt with my Virgin loyalty but I see clearly Bains intentions and I don't like what I see, its very, very ordinary. I have seen enough already, I'm scoring accordingly 👎...

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Hence the reason I expect QR to extend in some fashion for Australians/NZ'ers if the timeframe becomes unattainable due to covid19 restrictions otherwise the value gained from the original status match PR exercise becomes counter productive, a total waste of QRs time and effort and we will think...

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Got my VA Gold match this afternoon. Big shout out to the original post from Gold Member. Plus AFF and the Velocity Customer Service team who sent out my statement within 30 minutes of my request. This certainly has me working out already how to get the 2 year extension so a great marketing...

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Sorry ~ not sure what happened. Q?: Requalify is 150 Qpoints for Gold but I’m Wondering if I get 300 Qpoints does that mean I get platinum or that’s only for those that were status matched at platinum. If it’s yes that’s a great deal and makes for some interesting possible Future status matches.

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    I applied on the 18th and I'm still waiting to hear anything but some posts here provide some hope I may still receive something. I am starting to wonder though if its just a great ploy to gather a free database of emails and status levels of customers with competitor airlines/alliances for...

    Platinum sitting in economy - Do the airlines pay extra attention to us?

    Yes you are right, Platimum & Gold holders get seat selection benefits when booking that are blocked to those without status. I have become Gold for first time this year and noticed how the amount of seats available for my seat selection changed greatly. This became glaringly obvious when I...
