loyalty program

hi eveyrone, I know this is a bit generic, but is there a airline program, eg skywards, amex, virgin, Jal or similar that has the lowest points requirements+taxes/surcharges to fly Long haul F? finding it a bit hard to work out which is good, so far it seems that Skywards vs velocity...

Lots of info around on the changes to the merged programmes-most of it not too bad at first sight Could I suggest keeping the discussion in the Marriott thread to avoid duplication?

What’s New – Marriott – Marriott Members Announcement just made this morning. Anyone else following along? I think they have done a very good job. The biggest unknown at the moment is where each hotel slots into the new categories. Hopefully they give us some notice before August to make...

I can squeeze together 280,000 Velocity points to contribute to a Euro trip with wifey in September. This isn't enough obviously for a return in J, but I'm thinking of doing a redemption flight with VA/EY in biz and paying for 2x economy return tix on another airline. My question is does...

I have booked and paid for Japan Airlines (JAL flights) (SYD/MOSCOW return). I am not currently a JAL FF member. Should I become one to capture the points for this trip booked? If yes, can I transfer these to my Qantas FF membership? If not, I just see these FF points as isolated as I would...

Hi Just noticed there is a new Velocity points tie-in with container deposit schemes for recycling drink cans and plastic bottles, via an organisation called Envirobank. https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/content/Earn/sustainability/ You can earn money for the cans and bottles and (with a...

Hi, I've been a member of Club Carlson for several years, and can't honestly say I've found great deals on their Advanced Purchase Rate (APR) when looking at stays in Fiji and Sweden, relative to what I could find on Booking.com as a Genius member. Sometimes the deal was better at...

VFF Facebook fail !!!!! You would think they would know what their lounge looked like.

Long time lurker, I feel like ive read every thread on this forum, so Im a paper expert Im going to cancel my amex cards and use my partners card for various reasons, over the years I have collected a lot of points, which I am proud of, however havent had a chance to use them I want only to do...

Hey all - I’m about to be commuting to Perth weekly for about three months. I don’t have any hotel loyalty status just now, so would be starting fresh with everyone (I might still be silver with Hilton). What’s everyone’s thoughts on the best place to stay these days in terms of loyalty program...

Got this email about 25 mins ago. Can’t ever remember using it and always confused about the difference between the two programs anyway

So there's a vacancy at the head of Qantas Loyalty and who knows the future. Anybody here going to apply for the job? ;) I mean virtually everybody here has given their opinion on how the program can be improved.

I’m having a terrible time chasing DSC credits from the September promo and the QFF phone staff have been totally useless (and told outright untruths in some cases). Does anyone know what the best way to escalate this to someone who actually knows what they are talking about is?

Similar to my post over in QF forum, the Velocity eStore now has their Christmas bonus points up. They're doing an advent calendar where you have to wait to see what the offer is on a particular day, which is weird and a waste of time, as you can just click Offers > Bonus points in the navbar...

Hi AFF, A good friend of mine has asked me for some assistance with her upcoming travel and FF situation. Her and her family are relocating to Beijing at the end of the year and are travelling SQ business from Sydney. I have worked out that for 3 pax in J that should give her 600 VA status...

Hi there, have a bit of an unusual question: My qualifying period ends in December. I need to book a flight between 26-29/12 and have just received an offer for an additional 50% SC that I could use. In addition I am due the loyalty bonus after this trip. Taking all this into account, I can...
