    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    I’ve been locked out for 24hrs for requesting the OTP too many times. And the ironic thing is to contact their support team for assistance via live chat you need to be logged in (which requires the OTP to be entered 🤦🏻‍♂️)

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Same here, I can't login to check. Tried logging in via both the app and browser and I am not receiving the OTP via SMS to my phone. I've received OTPs before to my phone so I know my number is definitely correct on their system.

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Didn't realise until I read this that I needed some activity to fall to the tier below. It looks like you can buy a single Qpoint for 25 USD which I think would satisfy the criteria.

    Optus $99/Mth Sim Only Plan - 60,000 Qf Pts

    Placed online order last night. Received a temporary order number via email shortly after. Then received a call tonight to confirm my ID and order. I asked for eSIM on new number so I can keep my Aldi sim on Telstra going for calls and coverage. Initially the Optus representative told me he...

    Family privileges for Platinum member?

    My PIL have just booked with QR London to Brisbane in March. I am a QR Platinum member thanks to the previous Virgin status match deal. I have been reading about QR’s family programme where I can add up to 9 family members to my account and collect their points. If I do this, are there any other...

    Gifting Companion Gold Membership

    As far as I can tell I wont be eligible to gift gold because you have to be already a platinum member and then hit 1,300 SCs (800 for renewal + 500 extra). So even if I accumulate the 1,300 SCs required I still have to wait one year until the renewal period.

    Gifting Companion Gold Membership

    Hi all, Just hoping someone can help me out with the following... I am one eligible sector away from Platinum status on VA. I have already 1,527 status credits thanks mostly to family pooling and I'm taking my next VA flight on Thursday. Am I right in thinking that my current status credits...

    Using lounge on arrival with checked baggage

    Have a flight to Melbourne on Friday and hoping to use Fly Ahead to get the earlier flight if I get to the airport early enough. If I do I'd like to use the lounge on arrival but I'll have a checked bag with me. Are there any options to have this stored safely whilst I wait in the lounge? If I...

    VA v Singapore Air

    They were eligible for SC and points but just didn't count as an eligible sector because not booked using a VA flight code.

    VA v Singapore Air

    Oh and in regard to lounge access with kids. Singapore Airline count kids as part of your guest allowance. Travelling with VA Gold on SA you are only allowed 1 guest.

    VA v Singapore Air

    I flew with and booked directly with Singapore Airlines in December. I had calculated it carefully to make sure that with the trip I would receive enough SCs to maintain my Gold membership. However, what I didn't count on was the Singapore Airlines flights not counting as eligible flight sectors...

    About to tick over to Platinum - Can I activate both IHG and Hilton premium memberships?

    Awesome. I'm trying to work out which one to pick with Gold and which one to pick with Platinum. I noticed that you don't get a room upgrade with IHG Gold but you do with Hilton. Thinking it might be better to select Hilton with Gold and IHG with Platinum. I probably stay in IHG hotels more...

    About to tick over to Platinum - Can I activate both IHG and Hilton premium memberships?

    I am currently a VA Gold member about to tick over to Platinum in 2 flights time. I have never activated the IHG Gold Elite or Hilton Honours Gold memberships that are offered as part of being a VA Gold member. When you become a VA Platinum member you can apply for IHG Platinum or Hilton Honours...

    Change to SQ Earn Rates

    Ah, I did not know that. That's much better. In that case I'll definitely still have Gold for the return leg. Then I can argue the extra SCs afterwards if I have to.

    Change to SQ Earn Rates

    So will all flights flown from now on but booked before 13 March automatically get credited at the previous rate? Or will we still have to contact Velocity to chase it? I've been following this closely as I have a trip to LHR in December. Presently, I do not have enough SC to maintain Gold and...
