VA Double Status Credit Offer

[frequentflyer91]

damn, have around 12 flights to book for end of January. Bummer that its starting February.

 

[kelpie]

Perfect timing. I'd been holding off in the hope they would deliver such an offer. Look out credit card...

 

[JohnK]

Did not receive an email but offer appears to be for all.

Gold was going to be a little out of reach. Unfortunately all flights booked through to end of June 2014 already. Will need to check if there are any other flights I need.

I knew there was a reason I was holding off my flexi per-syd-CNS venture, this shall go down well!

Wondering if I should cancel and rebook OOL-MEL-PER?

 

[erkpod]

Going through my roster, I've got a nice 4 day weekend in April. Where should I go for max SC at lowest cost? LOL *thinks*


If I get the leave approved that I now want starting 1 June, I can get almost an extra week off if I take 3 public holidays in the proceeding week.

Position to OOL and do a OOL-syd-Mel for 80 (160) or OOL-Mel-per for 140(280) both return and on flexis

does anyone know if you will still earn double status credits via booking through a travel agent? all my business travel is booked this way. i have 2 x BNE-LAX trips in J, one in March and one in May but i have to book through our corporate travel team.

I have 3 J trips I've booked in the last few weeks for feb and April.

Thoughts on adjusting the booking someway so the booking is 'rebooked' during this double SC offer...

Would that work??

Unlike hotel program's, booking through a TA should not influence eligibility for Airline promos.

Good question, anyone know if adjusting the flights would work?

Worst case scenario, does anyone know if you can cancel just 1 flight on an itinerary? And what happens if you cancel a 2FOR1.4 booking, do you get that segment back? Or is it lost for all time?

Recieved the email this morning as a WP. I've earnt 60SC's since June when I retained platinum, somehow I don't think I'll be re-qualifying again next year even with a double SC offer.

Of course I have actually flown a fair bit with VA it's just been on points!

no, adjusting the flights won't work, they must have been purchased during the offer not just adjusted (I asked the GCC)

yes, you can cancel one flight on and rebook on something better. I just got off the phone from cancelling my AKL-SYD and doing a new booking onto a VA operated flight.

Fortunate to have been discussing a BNE/WLG/BNE booking with Mrs QF WP that was going to be on VA on 6-8 February, so this was perfectly timed for me. Making that booking today!

 

[erkpod]

Damn damn me for reading the T & C the way I wanted them to read rather than the reality. That said, there's more than one way to cook a steak.

Might go to London instead!

 

[TheCityLane]

Damn. Just booked a few flights for the eligible period a few days ago

Cancel and re-book?

You wont get any bonus to Japan , it has to be VA marketed and operated flights ( ie VA code on SQ is not valid for the promo)
