I was matched to platinum a couple weeks back but have pretty much written it off as I can’t see us being able to travel properly any time soon as per Joyce’s announcement though I get that he doesn’t speak for the government. Hopefully it drops to gold. Either way my plan is to book for Europe...

Have you made multiple accounts? Could always alternate between cards or if you are going to make a large purchase split it across a couple different Flybuys accounts? Pain in the cough but I suppose Flybuys aren't going to offer low targets to people making large spends. I typically spend at...

Still too hard to tell if we’ll be able to take advantage of this for international flights but I’m wondering if I were to make a booking for Europe a week before status expires could I still use the qcredits to upgrade that flight, even if status drops before the flight date?

Is there a limit to how many eBay gift cards can be used to purchase a single item on eBay? I know the egift cards through flybuys could only be used one per transaction.

I haven't really been following this too closely but when does it all wrap up and we have an idea of the outcome of VA? I'm still curious what will happen to Velocity and points balances. Suppose no one really knows yet.

That’s pretty much the generic response they send out so I think it’s safe to say you’ll be matched. My friend was matched around the same time as me but used his KrisFlyer gold status as he’s silver with Velocity. He was obviously matched to QR gold but it’s interesting KrisFlyer don’t really...

Anyone know if they send out anything in the mail like bag tags, physical membership card, etc?

When booking with QF for an international flight is there a way to use the QR status to gain lounge entry but retain the QF frequent flyer number on the boarding pass to collect the points? Now that I’ve reached VA platinum and it has the extended review date (assuming VA pull though) I’m...

Also received the status match confirmation email about half an hour ago. Nice that review date isn't based off the original application date. Now the next challenge will be if I will be able to get some benefit out of it seeing as we're still a while off unrestricted travel. I'm new to OW but...

I think the initial timeframe was 10 days but then changed to 20 days. I wouldn't be too concerned as the promo was open to a number of programs so no doubt the received an influx of applications which will take time to go through. Bit optimistic and premature to be booking for Europe this...

Early this morning I received a second confirmation of the Velocity statement which they requested. It’s now under review so I guess we wait and see what happens. Based on the chart they provided in the promo it seemed they would match silver, gold and platinum members to their own equivalent. I...

You're probably right considering they seem to have ended the status match early and then reintroduced it minus VA. They're probably combing through the mass VA applications and they may be down staff because I'm pretty sure the next couple days are religious public holidays in that region.

Thought I'd add some from the most recent trip to NYC. Only there for a few days. Plan to go back but who knows when!

My response from them was the same with the June 20th date. I've already replied as I received the Velocity statement faster than I expected. I presume they have copped a lot of requests so it might take them time. Isn't there also some sort of Muslim event happening at the moment? That might...

Also received a follow up email regarding details provided. I have a physical card but did not have a statement at the time hence the screenshots. They said they cannot accept screenshots but I have since received a PDF statement from Velocity as I requested so I will send them that. I guess...

As of the last few years I’ve been flying yearly to Israel, South Africa and US/UK. Always with Virgin and partners and business class so took very little time to reach platinum. Now the way things have gone I will switch permanently to Qantas if VA don’t pull through or if their alliances with...

I apologise if this isn’t the right place to ask but do status credits last a year from when they’re earned? For example I only recently started using an old QFF as I’ve always typically flown Virgin and partners due to platinum status. My account says 70 days left and 300 credits needed to...

I've used them before along with the Coles gift MasterCards and haven't had any dramas with either though I can't say I've used them extensively. They've never declined on me. The one which I've had dramas with is the Vanilla brand.

I suppose you could buy the Visa gift cards from BigW as well. The promo ends tomorrow and you get 1000 WWR points per card. Buy a stack of cards and buy the phones with the cards. You'll earn a lot more points that way but you just have to work out if its worth the activation fee for each card.

Travelled to Cairo with my younger brother as seeing the pyramids was something I wanted to tick off the bucket list. Walking around the streets of Cairo and Giza was definitely an experience and we really enjoyed the Egyptian museum as we got to see first hand the things we had studied in...
