About to drop to Silver

[wendlle]

Well after about 7 years of holding gold i'm about to drop to silver, which is a little sad LOL
I know I will still get two lounge passes, but it's not helpful to me when we are a party of 4 (they allow my two kids to come along with Gold)
Can't see myself in a lounge anytime soon

You can still buy lounge at at $65 a pop per entry, yes, not helpful in your case, but there is always the option too of as a VFF PS buying an annual pass without the joining fee.
And you can buy econX on VFF which can be a good thing up front of Y.
Better than the strict QFF system of lounge entry and fees.

You could probably look at the ongoing DSC offer and see if you could make any quick status run to retain your gold tier. All the best.

Ongoing DSC offer?
Where do I find details? Sorry, I'm out of the loop

Wow. thank you so much. Sorry for being completely lazy in not searching for myself

Shopping at Coles can also build up VFF SC via FB over the longer term.

This came up in the conversation recently and I said it was $65 to buy your way in. However, I looked at the website and there's no mention of it.

Might have changed of late but I have bought VAd lounge entry in the past, but that would have been maybe 6 to 12 months ago maybe more.
Its a holding pattern till you get up to VFF SG again.
If lots of VA dom travel might be worth buying a years worth of VAd lounge entry.
$300 I think it is.
20 one way flights till you get back to SG would break even.

I've just activated, and the activation period starts today.
Has the DSC offer just been continuously coming up?
If so, I'm kicking myself because I booked a few flights last week.

Has the DSC offer just been continuously coming up?

I just saw the offer this morning , however the offer terms states it applies to all travel between 1 Feb 2023 - 31 Mar 2023. If your travel dates are within this period , I am certain you can benefit from the DSC offer.

No - this one was only advertised as of today.

I have enough SC it’s the sectors that I don’t have
Being nowhere near a capital city doesn’t help
I can just do runs like most people

 

[stm1sydney]

we are a party of 4

Do you have family pooling turned on?

 

[Bagpuss]

Do you have family pooling turned on?

Doesn’t help with sectors.

 

[stm1sydney]

Doesn’t help with sectors.

True that but useful generally.
