loyalty program

I note that AMEX velocity have increased their standard Platinum Card offering from 50k to 100k points valid until 12th Feb. I understand that recently you could get 100k (instead of the 50k) by going through a referral link. By going through those links (which are valid until 29 Jan) still...

Hi, Is anyone else facing an issue where it loads someone else's profile when you log into VFF? This was fine earlier today. I rang VA and they can't find my membership number anymore :(

So I have difficulties deciding which of the following programs to join: IHG or Accor Hotels. I've tried both - IHG: Holiday Inn Express Brisbane; Accor Hotels: The Sebel Auckland & Novotel Cairns. However, having compared my experience in both hotel brands, I still couldn't come to a...

I thought I would share an interesting story after spending 1hr and 2 minutes on the phone with Westpac. For the past 12 months or so we have been using auto-redemption which Westpac ceased in August, converting to a direct earning of velocity points at an improved rate. Fine. Our VFF points...

Hi all, I would like to open some discussion on the issue of Loyalty programs. These have a massive influence on the modern world, and in particular to people such as we members of this forum. At the moment there is, in my opinion, a timely window to really discuss this topic. The ACCC has...

The ACCC today released a draft report expressing "significant concerns" about loyalty programs in Australia. Concerns include the expiry of points, loyalty programs making unilateral changes such as reducing the rate at which points are earned or redeemed, carrier charges on frequent flyer...

I reached 1000 status credits bonus in July 2019, then my membership year ended in August 2019. I haven't yet claimed the bonus. If I claim the 50 status credits in September 2019 will it apply to this membership year or the previous?

Never knew this! Freedom Furniture. If you join their rewards system, points can he transferred to to VFF. 1 point per $1 spent. Edit: ouch, Aud$99 Myfreedom fees apply every 2 years... So only worth it if major furniture shopping.

As promised............. After not even several seconds of work, less than scientific research and absolutely no testing on the general public the Tony Hancock "Frequent Flyer Stockholm Syndrome" quiz is finally complete. (Ten key questions with multiple choice answers.) Please answer all...

I have been doing a lot of FBs to VFF transfers, not sure how many now, for those of you who have tranferred a lot, up to 69 times (not sure is it a annual cycle/or our velocity 12 months cycle), does the system tell you you have gotten to your maximum? Or does FB just stop, and will not allow...

Hi there everyone, Opening question for you all, is it worth joining a variety of loyalty programs or just one ie Qantas FF?

Over the past month, I've received a flurry of emails from Qantas promoting: Credit Cards Qantas Cash Points Transfers Flight Specials Qantas Wine Qantas Insurance Discounts on Points Store Redemptions I don't live in Australia. The address in my QF profile is not in Australia. Yet I receive...

A couple of quick questions about the Loyalty Bonus for reaching 500 SC's in a membership year - do the extra SC's earned during double SC promotions count towards the 500 SC's required for the Loyalty Bonus? - how do you select/choose between the 8000 FF points or the 50 SC's when you reach...

I have my E-Rewards account linked to earn Velocity points. Whenever I get a new phone, I seem to be able to complete E-Rewards surveys without hassle. However after a month or two of using my phone, I get the following message - An Error occurred - It appears you are accessing this survey...

Hi all I am a newbie here and wanting to get some guidance/ tips on how to utilise the Qantas FFY points to redeem SYD-London flight(business class) for April 2020 (end of April) with Qatar airline. I have been carefully watching for past couple of weeks and I have seem it come up 2wks ago for...

VA Extra seat request booking. All Au domestic flight. 48 hrs prior. F100. Paid Aud$6xx. When I rang to book, that was all I had to pay. No online check in possible? Rang the GCC and agent couldn't tell me why. Maybe they (VA) really do want me to fly QF again. They really make it hard for us to...

I have an unusual entry in my QFF account titled “loyalty bonus offer”. I’m quite sure it’s not the status bonus you get at 500SC/ 1,000SC etc, because I’ve been tracking that closely to get to 1,000SC before the end of March which is my reset date. As you can see I’m only at 870, so...

Hi All, - Have just booked the family of 4 (all adult fares) a J class RTW airfare. First and last flight is QF so will accrue QF Status and points i am told, but the rest of the trip is UA (cross Coast in the US) and the rest is LH. I am currently Velocity GOld and have been told i can have...
