    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    That seems contrary to their website - I think you'll lose what you've pooled out, and anything above 3000 pooled in?

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    I understand that without looking at my activity statement! But I chose (as I rather suspect you did too) to disregard those SC so that someone else could use them. I’m not surprised Velocity aren’t allowing ‘double dipping’.

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    Maybe I'm the unicorn, but I think it's one of the better options of a difficult lot. Doing something retrospective is going to be problematic. Ask me again though when my FG is 11,000 SC!! ;)

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    One of us is missing what the other is saying. So here's an example: Back in 2017 as WP I family pooled my SC to my husband which helped him reach SG which wouldn't have obtained by himself. He benefited from those SC. Now you want Velocity to also count those same SC towards my FG? When...

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    yup, but I think your solution enables two people to benefit from the same status credit?

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    Penalised for FG yes, but did you benefit from the pooling at the time? For example, did family pooling push you from gold to platinum? I reckon that's the egg that's too hard to unscramble, so am not surprised they are taking this line. (Appreciating that decisions were made ~7 years ago...

    What time of day does SQ release the bulk of their available rewards?

    We booked our Europe flights for next year (2 x J) 3 and 7 weeks ago, and the daily releases were definitely lumpier than previous years! We got the dates we needed in the end, but reversed our itinerary as I wasn't sure we'd find flights out of IST (into IST was fine)

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    Hyperbole, much?! The AFF article states DSC count, I haven't read the velocity terms in enough detail to cross check.

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    Did I read a different announcement? You need 12,000 SC for FG, not 13,000 And Family pooling / Flybuys / credit cards / partner airlines can contribute 3000 of that. Am I missing your sarcasm?

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

    Wouldn't you rather 11 months' notice rather than 1 so you've lead time to strategise around it? Forewarned is forearmed?!

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

    I have no skin in this game as I no longer have status. But thinking about when I did - I wonder if this much lead time will actually see a spike in revenue as people shore up their status for another year while it's easier?

    thank you! I missed that.

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    I wonder why 2013 is the starting date? I think I'd have needed it to begin a couple of years earlier for me to be in with a chance. Will romp the 3000 partner / pooling credits in!

    Advice on champagne

    Thanks, I've only had the NV and didn't really enjoy it, so haven't tried the vintage. Will give it a whirl next time!

    Advice on champagne

    yes! I find it difficult to get something good for under $50. I really like Piper, but the inflation on that has been massive. What's your go to now?

    Virgin Family transfer - 30 day expiry

    An additional family transfer keeps points alive, but activity doesn't? Sorry, I really think you've misunderstood what Velocity have told you. I have no status, but my account is active: I transferred 225k points last month (2 transfers) and there was no mention of that. I wouldn't get too...

    Virgin Family transfer - 30 day expiry

    (my bolding) That's always been the case. I'm guessing you haven't earned or redeemed points recently? Get yourself a flybuys card, spend a couple of dollars at Coles & swipe your flybuys card and you've added 2 years to the life of your points I suspect the family transfer by phone is...
