    I've just reached Velocity Platinum

    Not that I'm aware of. I usually dial 136789 or 131875 and never have to wait long, it triages Platinum members quite well.

    Article: Fly Ahead with Virgin Australia

    Data point (but I'm sure many know this): But managed a 2x fly ahead from SYD-ADL the other day. Was booked for the last flight out (VA442), and called first thing in the morning and asked to move ahead to flight directly earlier (VA434) Returning car hire, and noted that VA428 still open for...

    Article: Fly Ahead with Virgin Australia

    I know lite fares aren't eligible for fly ahead as Plat - however, anecdotally, has any Plat member been successful in requesting an earlier flight on a Lite fare?

    Edit: EXPIRED - ANA Business Class CGK to US Destinations from $530 AUD

    ANA has cold feet (probably fiscally sensible IMO - despite me having skin in the game)

    Earn points on Bank Transfers

    Thanks! Just curious as to whether anyone else has had this problem before. It’s only been 5 days since cancellation. Might try again after the proposed (now cancelled) PayAll request.

    Have you correlated SQ availability with what’s available on KrisFlyer.com? Normally I find the two to match ... most of the time

    Credit Card Offers Citi Prestige: 200,000 bonus Velocity Points (AFF Exclusive - apply by 20/1/25)

    Did you get them straight after 10k spend? Or did they credit 300k with the monthly statement? PayALL counts towards minimum spend doesn't it?

    Hawaiian Airlines Business Class award availability from SYD/AKL to HNL

    Can confirm VA call centre can see availability for SYD-HNL - that correlates with HA/AA websites. The reason I say this, is because I’ve been wanting to redeem a HNL-Japan segment on HA for a while, but they consistently see nothing (despite reward seats showing on HA/AA websites). Any chance...

    Yeah but not to the members which they locked out. I’ve certainly haven’t heard anything … yet

    Velocity account suspended

    Likewise, 2nd e-mail received, unsuspended. I hope we get an explanation/apology from VA - it'd be pretty poor not to keep the customer in the loop.
