Just joined - Overwhelmed but enthusiastic :)

Hi guys,

I've been scrolling this forum for a while now.. its so impressively informative but I feel so many of you are just 'naturals', you already know how to win at cheap flights, points, upgrades... I feel overwhelmed, I don't know where to start yet I'm enthusiastic to get on-board. I have accumulated just over 300000 points between both Velocity and Qantas - doing so mostly by credit cards. Now its time to use them and I have my sights set on travelling to the States. As yet I don't have permissions to request help in the flight assistance thread but Im guessing that will come in time - maybe after I've passed myself Anywho, I'm really looking forward to being part the Community!

Sounds to me like you are well on the way to getting those flights then. Welcome.

Welcome

No, we all started from the bottom, knowledge-wise!! The whole reason I got involved in this forum was because I once managed, in my ignorance, to book an overseas trip that netted me ZERO points. It was only when I researched why that I stumbled across this forum. I had no real idea what status credits were, what a "fare bucket" was, and back then had never set foot in a lounge. From there it has been an amazing combo of learning and "meeting" many fellow enthusiasts.
