    Qantas to fast track airline loyalty program status

    I’m still waiting for Velocity to get back to me with my statement. I suppose they’re inundated with statement requests as well!

    Qantas to fast track airline loyalty program status

    I’m sure they’re overwhelmed with applications so I wouldn’t expect such a swift response. I’m sure either way they’d let us know whether we’re successful or not.

    Qantas to fast track airline loyalty program status

    I haven’t heard anything yet. Suppose they’ll pick and choose who they want based on how many QF flights they’ve taken? I’ve taken very few!

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    I took a day trip to Melbourne with QF. I have absolutely no status with QF but got in by showing my QR card in Apple wallet. QF number was added to my booking though so I can get the points and credits. Its great that QR will cover me for lounge access until middle of next year and hopefully I...

    Qantas to fast track airline loyalty program status

    I've applied even though I got the Qatar platinum status match. I won't be able to maintain the Qatar platinum status due to border closures and not being able to travel abroad but can easily hit the 100 status credits for the flights I intend to take over the next few months. I'm done with...

    Annual Velocity points transfer limit removed?

    For the time being I’d say it’s much safer to keep the points stockpiled with flybuys. Once international travel restrictions are eased and we know what partnerships will resume or be created only then would I consider transferring them across. Good to know that the limit has been removed.

    Woolworths gift card thread

    Problem is I’m struggling to find $100 cards. I’ve only purchased $50 cards and even had one come up with a deposit/gc error even though I was charged so had to manually match each little receipt with the card to see which one didn’t load.

    Woolworths gift card thread

    No, now that I think about it i really should have. I’ll offer the next staff member that processes my transaction a Starbucks gift card. It seems each transaction was on a different receipt, the MacBook Air receipt was taller than me and the Alienware one was just laughable. Im not having too...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    It took over half an hour. I went and got a coffee in the meantime. Took a while to scratch out the codes on the back as well. At least with these eftpos cards they don’t require a signature. I’ve used some of the prepaid visa1 cards and each transaction required a signature as there is no pin...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    Right, I didn’t even bother reading the fine print as I assumed the promo only applied to the cards in the picture.

    Woolworths gift card thread

    I know the current promo earns 1k points per $50 kids voucher but anyone try purchasing a single $100 card for 2k points?

    Woolworths gift card thread

    I spent ~$8500 off the top of my head earlier this year (mostly $50 cards) on an Alienware laptop for my brother and a couple other things and not only did it take ages to buy them at the Big W, it also took the lady behind the counter ages to process the transaction and the receipt they printed...

    I'll be stocking up on the kids gift cards then. Local JB will not be too impressed when I buy a new laptop with a bunch of cards!

    Woolworths gift card thread

    I just called them and they instantly credited the points missing from the latest visa promo. Now I’ve got an extra 1000 points for each card that I purchased. Very easy to deal with them!

    Is it Time to transfer/withdraw points from Velocity?

    I’m also considering doing the same. My VA Amex is of no use to me now but I wouldn’t get any sign up bonuses as I’m already with them. I’m wondering if it’s as simple as calling and changing the card to a QF one or if I have to close the whole account and start a new one. I’ll be keeping my...

    Value of Virgin's Velocity axed in report

    And unfortunately thats exactly what I've done. It saddens me to say it but the rest of my domestic travel moving forward will be with QF/JQ and I may as well earn the points. I do have the QR platinum match but don't even know if that'll stand for anything come July next year when it expires...

    I bought 6 today and it’s definitely 1000 points each.

    Coles gift card offers

    Thats the thing. On many occasions I have bought multiple cards in a single transaction both from Coles and Woolies. On this particular occasion I had the drama so its a first but I'm wondering if the policy changed as to how many Mastercards or Visas you can buy. Her demeanour was pretty bad...

    Coles gift card offers

    I still pay the fee but I don't care about the fee. I've yet to find a prepaid visa or Mastercard where there is no fee. I've bought 10 cards on the single account before without issue, both at self serve and at the manned counters. I've also had the message pop up on the fourth but the person...

    Coles gift card offers

    Has anyone had an issues buying Coles gift Mastercards in bulk? I had a very frustrating experience today in my local Coles where I attempted to buy 10 Coles gift Mastercards amongst some other random shopping. After 4 cards where scanned at the self service a message came up to wait for...
