The United States boasts several hotel loyalty credit cards with compelling incentives. Considering Australia's enthusiasm for airline points, I’m curious why hotel loyalty programs have not gained traction in this market. While Accor has collaborated with NAB, the partnership is not optimal...

I flew VA to Fiji in business from Sydney yesterday and noticed that VA was very relaxed with Covid mask protocols compared to Qantas. The two young passengers adjacent to me removed their mask from shortly after takeoff and pretty much drank the entire flight. The flight crew allowed both...

Transfer if your game or have an immediate redemption in mind. Note that Virgin Australia currently doesn’t offer international redemptions, even on their own short-haul network. So any transfer may result in you only being able to use points for domestic travel only. Thanks to Lawbee on...

Hi All, Going forward do we anticipate that VA will sign an agreement for lounge access at Australian international departure points? I’m not sure they will given their limited international routes and their new status as a value carrier. I just read that their is only on-board purchase of...

They are also offering bonus status credits on reward seats and bookings up to March 2022.

Hi All, Not the best offer, but if you have an immediate redemption in mind it might be useful for some. Seems a bit of a lacklustre promotion in the current climate - poor bonus offer and no status included. In addition, there is no clear direction for Virgin Australia other than a domestic...

Hi All, I have a booking award booking in December that is part of a status run. I’m a points club plus member. 3 of the connecting flights have been changed and the multi leg booking will need to be changed. Firstly, will Qantas just change it to an available flight or will they make me...

Hi All, I have just attempted to upgrade a couple of flights I have booked with my future flight credits (elevate fares) and it says that they are not eligible for an upgrade. I find it odd that VA would restrict this. Regards _flyer

Hi All, Did anyone take up the 50 status credit offer with Qantas Insurance? My points have posted, but not the status credits. Has anyone received them yet? I thought both the points and status would credit on day 60. Thank you

Hi all, I have been sending my Woolworths points to Qantas, but recently changed my redemption to Woolworths dollars. I seem to be accumulating a lot more Qantas points than I’m spending. I also think we are all going to have huge point balances to offload - so it will be difficult to redeem...

Hi All, I’m looking at getting a few extra status credits - I’m currently on a domestic classic economy flight (booked via points) if I upgrade to business will I be awarded the additional status credits? I’m Points Club Plus. Thanks
