    Ah well, that's comforting at least. I'll just wait and see now. Hopefully since i've gotten in before it's sold, it's all good!

    Additional Benefit on Velocity Earning Cards: 40K Points, 6 Months Gold or $300 Travel Bank

    May not be the right place to ask but it is related still so i'll throw it out there. I applied for the Virgin Money Flyer card and have been approved today. However i only noticed today that NAB is likely to have approval by June 1st to buy Virgin Money. I had a NAB card up until a few months...

    How to book Velocity Amex free flight?

    I think I had that issue when booking a few weeks ago for someone else, tried again the next morning at a different computer and it went through.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Wow nice score! I've been thinking about cancelling my Velocity platinum lately too, so this is a good sign to try next week. Held a gold/platinum for nearly 9 years now, so you'd think there would be at least a small loyalty bonus!

    Is it just the 1 burger and popcorn chicken or are there more burger options to choose from?

    Yep this caught my mum out today too. I happened to book last night but she needed to double check in the morning and we just assumed it would end at the end of the day. Oh well

    Article: Virgin Business Class Better Value than Qantas in 2022?

    I did June 9th just for the sake of DSC checking. I think I saw the same on June 16th too. Certainly a few dates around if you're flexible I'd say. Doesn't seem to work going through SYD or MEL though. (Actually maybe it does as per post above, I couldn't find any that cheap at least)

    Article: Virgin Business Class Better Value than Qantas in 2022?

    That one might be a typo, but there is some PER <> TSV via BNE flights for $710, which is pretty decent considering it's ~$1000 for PER <> BNE direct.

    Ah so that's what's going on. My most recent flight i was able to use the app on my tablet, but my phone was saying the app is no longer current. Maybe i didn't look for the card...

    Virgin regularly cancelling flights?

    Yeah have noticed the same for BNE-PER, they were selling tickets for 4 flights a day! I think even before covid it was usually only 3, maybe 4 during a peak time/weekend. So to think they were somehow going to sell tickets for all flights knowing how up and down the borders were, especially QLD...

    Virgin regularly cancelling flights?

    I've flown BNE-PER return 3 times this year and all but 1 flight was cancelled and merged into another. It's pretty annoying since i make sure to plan my day/leave around it but then i have to shift my day and leave 4 hours earlier, but i don't really blame them. It doesn't make sense to fly 4...

    VA economy food & drinks

    Had the $10 cheese toastie on BNE-PER last month. Honestly pretty good really, considering the rest of the options. Though weird to have melted cheese on top of the bread, as half of it stuck to the plastic when peeling off.

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    I had that experience in Brisbane too, but was just in Perth lounge a few minutes ago and the guy wasn't letting anyone taking the packet of chips, even though the packets were facing us. Could depend on who is serving though
