Another member of the zero club here ...

It's not the points that bother me, but the SCs.

Fair enough. But at some stage it does become a fail. 5 days? 10 days? I am waiting for the SCs to cross the threshold to maintain platinum.

Tried that this morning, told to wait two weeks.

Various issues around receiving status credits (or, rather, not receiving status credits!) have arisen in this forum from time to time. Usually points and SCs land in my account the same day or at worst the next morning, but here we are, two days after completing a return J trip between my home...

Just like to add to the chorus of voices absolutely disgusted by this clearly racist behavior. Please accept my condolemces.

Please let us know what you discover: i suspect you won't get any joy, as I believe the check in counter basically opens and closes for each flight rather than staying open all day. But I hope I'm wrong!

I've been on autotransfer for a year or so, and found it normal for a delay of around 20 to 60 minutes while the points sit in the Flybuys window waiting for the transfer truck to come by.

Agreed. Worse than that is when you book J only to be downgraded when the metal is changed to Y only.

Oh thanks for this ... I was vaguely wondering if the staggering lack of reward seats everywhere might be some sort of massive stuff up rather than by design. I see a glimmer of hope that this might be so.

That's a hairy one. You can only get a comp upgrade if there is a reward J seat available on the flight. But an increasing number of flights have no J reward flights in the first place. Look at this (it's Jan 2024!)

So we'll miss each other by a day!

Yes that's more or less what I'm doing, but on that direct route even Y reward seats are rare as hen's teeth now. BTW, what's the chance our paths might meet one day! ;) My next flight on VA702 in J is Wed 15 March.

If it helps identify him, he's Asian (I'm NOT being racist, just trying to see if it's the same guy!)

I can confirm this iniquitous practice. Up until recently I have been able to use points for J seats return in about 1 in 5 of my regular trips HBA to BNE (award seats were available on the others, just didn't have enough points). Now, looking ahead, I see J reward flights HBA-BNE-HBA are...

I think any regular flyer will agree that (especially in J), the attitude of the cabin crew can make all the difference between a very pleasant flight experience and an eminently forgettable one. I feel that I at least would like to give a shout out when the former occurs: I have no interest in...

I have a horrible feeling that one day the Status Grinch is going to come along and take them away! :oops:

Woo hoo! January Coles SCs finally landed! Jackpot! I've been awarded 36! :D:D

Been one of my griefs post covid that so many HBA flights are Y only. Worth phoning the call centre to see if any possibility of being moved to an alternative flight with J available. And (in advance) welcome to Tas!

I am going to change my name to Hawk by deed poll.
