Yes, I read that as well and initially thought that the promotion therefore was only directed at those who link their account during the period. However, reading further you will see that it also includes anyone who transfers points during the promotion. Those linking during the period receive...

I'll be doing a couple of DL flights next month with my wife - YYK to JFK and JFK to YVR. I found that it wasn't much dearer to book first class so we have gone that way. Bear in mind that US domestic first is barely equivalent to our domestic business. Have only ever flown UA domestically in...

Yep, the work experience kid strikes again. I see that the list has now been updated to include YVR and SFO.

My understanding is that Air NZ flights between Australia and NZ will still be eligible for SCs and points. It is only flights to and from the Americas that are changing.

Yes, explore gold provides the same flight upgrade benefits as full gold.

Yes, bit of a pity regarding the Air NZ changes but the DL update is welcome. Timing is good for us though as we already have Air NZ flights in PE from Brisbane to Vancouver booked for next month along with a couple of DL transcontinental flights in first.

Yes, you get Air New Zealand lounge access for both domestic and international flights excluding pacific islands. When booking with Air New Zealand you also get access to reserved seating or Frequent Flyer seating as they refer to it. We're booked on a NZ flight to Vancouver in August in PE...

Your wife should get priority security, boarding and baggage when she travels with you regardless of her status.

Yes, that all makes sense now thanks MattA. The iPhone app is showing the SCs I have earned since the last proper review while the website is just showing the SCs earned in the past 3 months. The website should therefore reset to the correct balance once the 3 month Explore Gold review has been...

Thanks for the info MattA. That will be great as I should be able to make Platinum by the end of the year if that occurs. Regarding the iPhone app, where exactly are you seeing the correct SC balance? I can only find the details for maintaining Gold (ie. the 80 SCs).

The new Gold Card I received last week is 2 sided. Prepaid Visa on one side and Velocity FF on the other. The card previous to that was the same. The FF number is on there so shouldn't that be all DL need?

Hi Galend, Welcome aboard. I've only recently joined the forum also so still finding my feet. That is very strange that you were automatically put onto Explore Gold as the offer that I (and all others that I know of) received was subject to applying by a specific date. My status credits also...

I can definitely see the potential issue. Those disembarking from the rear move towards the rear and wait. Those disembarking from the front move towards the front and wait. If they suddenly let all of the front pax off while the rear disembarking pax are still waiting, then a massive imbalance...

Yes, that is showing exactly the same as mine. I'm not sure what criteria they use to deduct the status credits when Explore Gold is approved. Seems to be quite random but I'm sure there is a method to it. Just an update regarding the card. I received mine in the mail today. So only a week...

First time for me as well but I'm not sure if the 73 that were deducted from yours has anything to do with the 80 needed to attain full gold. I had about 150 deducted from mine and I have noted that others have mentioned having varying amounts deducted during the same process. When you log into...

Mine still says Explore Gold and it came through last weekend. About 150 existing SCs were deducted from my account at the time. Does it mention the number of points required to maintain Explore Gold or Gold?

Thanks Steady. Will give them a look. I'm based in Brisbane. I have updated my profile.

Thanks Doug and everyone else for the warm welcome. Will definitely keep an eye out for the social functions.

Thanks MattA. That's how I read it too. I agree that it a good thing as it equates to 15 months Gold. However, I have a big trip booked for August. Some miscellaneous domestic travel should cover the 80 SCs prior to that. I was hoping to be on full gold prior to the trip in August as it alone...

Hello AFF members. Looking forward to gaining the knowledge that this forum provides. Along with contributing what I can along the way.
