    ...And that there is a free lunch. None of the AGMs I've gone to (whether large or small companies) have ever actually included a free lunch.

    Reward booking requiring full point total?

    I suspect the issue is that you're not logged in, rather than logged in without enough points, given the heading. It isn't saying not enough points, but saying that you need to log in. It is correct that it will block you at that point if you haven't logged in. I believe the wording is just...

    Throwaway 3K ticket for SIN F lounge access

    As above, it sounds like it's fine... but that's a place where they take misuse seriously.

    cruise surprises

    Just some clarifications on your advice on Celebrity: - Many cruise ships have speciality restaurants, typically at extra cost. Celebrity does too, but the prices are very high so would say not good value. As said above, no need to go for them, unless you have a burning desire to try, but on...

    'Scheduled System Outage' all weekend

    Given the upgrade occurred, it's normal for interfaces and regular processing to also be down over that time. It's likely those will now be processed since it's restarted so it will likely come through in the next couple of days. Not a big deal or "major issue".

    The financial news isn't in yet, but it's not a valuation hiccup. There is both (1) brand damage and (2) financial costs to both remediate the security damage to customers, plus to improve data security with (3) exposure to increased government regulation and potential fines. None of the...

    Citi Personal Loan Plus=Velocity.

    Where do you see the repayment schedule/repayments? I logged in but the loan just shows dates, amount borrowed and balance, nothing about repayments.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Google now has links to enable booking as well. If you use that, you should be able to get it. Normally they are a combination that a TA has put together - Virgin does not often sell these when a direct option is available.

    Magic time to buy Aust to LHR tickets

    Genuine sales, as distinct from 'sales' only happen when the airline needs to boost sales for some reason. Given the extent of demand now that isn't a problem. So you'd be taking a gamble whether there is a sales turndown due to high inflation/cost of living (here and o/s) or whether travel...

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

    Velocity Platinum Complimentary Upgrades

    Not sure that an UpgradeMe bid offer means seats are available. It's used as a reserve system in case seats are available. If full, there is no harm from VA offering the bid. However a flight may be booked a month out, then 4 pax cancel/change flights the same day or day before. VA then have...

    Domestic Lounges - Food for purchasing, why not?

    But adding charging isn't going to fix/guarantee that. You see the same thing in regular restaurants with different operating times and menus. But at the same time all you've done is increase the cost existing patrons pay.

    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    It doesn't just have to be marketed by QR. Also solely Virgin marketed and operated is fine. Ref the first part of this point: " Qualifying eligible flights must be marketed by Virgin Australia and/or operated by either of the two airlines, or marketed by Qatar airways and operated by Virgin...

    According to the terms the bonus Avios would apply on VA domestic flights. You don't need to book through the Qatar engine.

    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    More that it only comes up for Qatar, but not for any of the other airline partners on Euro routes i.e. Singapore, Etihad or even United at times. Whereas it's coming up many days solely for Qatar.

    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    There's some weirdness in their offerings. They seem to be showing cash equivalent points for routes - note the names are choice and flex instead of e.g. Economy Reward and the prices are ridiculous.
