    Qantas FX Business Money rewards promotion

    Yes...because the terms you quoted clearly state the max bonus is 125k during the promo period.

    Qantas FX Airwallex Promotion - Missing points?

    The small print says: That seems very clear that any total over $75k will still earn only 125,000 bonus.

    Charged $150 for being 5 mins late, system won't let me check in online

    It was all good until the "not flying them again" part. Oh, and the debit card chargeback...but can put that down to not understanding the purpose of that process properly.

    ANA partnership with Virgin luggage allowance

    I think it would be 23kg...but no extra allowance.

    ANA partnership with Virgin luggage allowance

    No different to the ticketed allowance. Extra baggage is only for ANA operated flights between AU and Japan...and domestic flights coded with a VA number (i.e. they would have to have been purchased as part of the international itinerary). The same applies to priority check in and baggage...

    What's going on with reward availability to Europe?

    They're high for sure...but they don't come anywhere close to EK levels of cash grab...they're "only" about 40% of what EK charges.

    What's going on with reward availability to Europe?

    If you're talking about business...not that long ago Etihad introduced a max 30 day lead time for booking...so essentially overnight one of the 3 main options disappeared. So now everyone is left fighting over what remains with SQ and QR.

    Velocity status on Singapore Airlines

    1. Check in at exactly 48 hours before departure and try and get bulkhead seats on each flight. Until then, all other seats are pretty much created equal 2. No, J class gets free wifi regardless of FF number added 3. Yes, you can use either lounge...generally Air NZ is a nicer place to sit...

    Booked Flight and car through virgin - Car not provided

    Hope the real reason wasn't the same as another recently very delayed flight to ZQN...the first officer was not trained / certified to land at ZQN so they had to return to MEL!

    Velocity status on Singapore Airlines

    Of course you will...if the lounge is a Singapore Airlines operated lounge (you won't get access to partner / 3rd party lounges).

    Help! Points for QR flight not credited. Still being accused of lying.

    This is the nature of most of VA's partnerships...not just QR. Lounge access arrangements vary for each and every partner and Velocity Gold and Plat will often find themselves having to negotiate lounge access...and then conversely you'll find Velocity Gold and Plat trying to negotiate...

    Help! Points for QR flight not credited. Still being accused of lying.

    Do you feel better now? If unscrupulous agents in QR customer service are involved in stealing miles it says nothing about the QR/VA partnership. Other accounts I've seen of this the victims were not intending to credit to VA and you can be sure they are still going to have a very difficult...

    Jury Duty

    In Victoria the courts will pay you $40 per day and your salary should make up the rest (of your normal salary). You might find it isn't even worth your payroll department's time to make that adjustment.

    Jury Duty

    That's not what I saw in Melbourne last year. If you objected you had to go stand in the witness box...and state your reason. There were some standard ones like you knew someone involved in the case, or you knew one of the lawyers. There was also the option to write it down and that could be...

    Help! Points for QR flight not credited. Still being accused of lying.

    Velocity retro claim gave me the same message when doing a claim for United...claimed in another program. United confirmed for me that that was absolutely not the case, the only number against my booking was Velocity. I also had the boarding passes showing VA number. Velocity continued to...

    SIA/VA Points and Status Credits

    Seeing as you're Virgin Gold (according to your profile)...what you miss out on by booking directly with SQ is 75% points bonus on miles flown...you would only get these flying SQ on VA flight numbers. But as others have said, if the codeshare is not available...its not available...there's no...

    Dual citizenship and travelling on non AU passport

    If the person entering is an EU citizen there is no time limit on the visit, regardless of which passport they use to enter. Same for the UK...they have no outbound passport control...they have no idea when you leave!
