    NAB Signature prorated annual fee refund

    Thanks for posting this, have verified this is still apparently correct via NAB app chat. If anyone is aware based on experience, when does the annual fee post? Statements for me come through on the 2nd of each month, card was approved around 20 Jan. Would I expect to see it in the Jan 2 or Feb...

    Paying on Melbourne buses seems to be an optional choice for most passengers.

    Worst Domestic Qantas Lounges & What Can be Done About It?

    Sorry, I forgot to ask. Hopefully it's worthwhile, all jokes aside I was in disbelief at the state of the toilets in the QP as well. I honestly don't think they've seen a deep clean since my first visit, circa 2003. Also had the classic experience of being told off by staff because of the mess...

    I'd like to see his face when he walks in to the bathrooms.

    Worst Domestic Qantas Lounges & What Can be Done About It?

    SYD T3 J lounge closed today. All directed to QF club. Bit of a zoo. Classic customer experience...the race to the bottom is on...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Wow that's a real smack. It's not exactly easy to book the VA marketed option either in many cases!

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Travelling at the moment so it's a bit hard to take all of these changes in as there is just so many. But that said, at first glance, I think this is a goodbye to VA status for me. It's been a fun 7 or so years as a Platinum! I will requal plat this year (review mid March) then soft land to gold...

    SIA/VA Points and Status Credits

    It works, tried it last September and again Monday last week. No issue, it just checks your KF number is valid and issues you a voucher.

    Fraud on Velocity Frequent Flyer accounts

    The problem is that there is not a small group of people travelling the world having a grand old time on defrauded Velocity account points. What there almost certainly is, is a group of people acting as agents in countries with lax regulation. Possibly offering these seats at retail as a cut...

    Fraud on Velocity Frequent Flyer accounts

    I suspect they're not the true culprit and there is quite the operation going on, and possibly some laundry being done...

    Fraud on Velocity Frequent Flyer accounts

    Do you use a password manager/unique password for VFF?

    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    I've been pondering the Avios question for most of the day. I don't think it's going to happen. It's a world away from the rest of the Avios infrastructure, and VFF and Velocity points as a whole are a very well known local product. There is significant value in these staying in the market as...

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    There are several options, however no multi-stop ones and all are generally more expensive than flying to the east coast.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Not the easiest from Perth. Do you have day(s) free? The easiest would likely be PER-ADL-MEL return. I would try and tie it in to a weekend away or something.

    Qantas FF upgrade and Paid Seat Selection

    By comparison, Virgin do specifically allow for a refund of Economy X fees if you apply for and receive an upgrade to Business.

    Take one, move it on if you come across two. Insurance is never a bad thing.

    Overcharged Velocity Points CPH to MEL?

    It's a tricky one. I would personally consider just an email to Velocity asking why your itinerary was priced at 159,000 despite having no break in journey, and seeing what they say. Ultimately pricing each sector individually is probably what should occur as it was a married segment...but...

    Platinum caught out with VA baggage ex CBR

    Let's be honest, it's for revenue but it's also not hidden and it's very transparent. Happy for transparent rules to be appropriately enforced, personally.

    QF26 HND-SYD Schedule Change - Now departing 06:50, previously 08:40

    Thanks for the reply. Will consider options, but the lack of a shower prior to flying back to AU might tip me over to ponying up for a hotel at the airport. Shame as I've always wanted to spend all night wandering Tokyo!

    QF26 HND-SYD Schedule Change - Now departing 06:50, previously 08:40

    Just picked up a relatively last minute J award on QF26 on a Friday with the early departure. Probably due to someone changing to fly the night before, but I'll take it. Looking in to the logistics of hotels and getting to HND...somewhat tempted to just go without and spend the night roaming the...
