    How long does it usually take VA to upgrade your tier?

    I'm going through the same situation at the moment. Earned enough status credits in April to keep Gold for the next 12 months. Got to my review date in August and then my account spent 3 weeks under review (which while not ideal didn't really cause me any issues). Annoyingly I'm going to...

    KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes

    Just picked up 2 seats in J from BNE to SIN in September (not blacked out for the Grand Prix which was surprising). Worth it even after redeeming VA economy to connect and paying the fee to cancel our exisiting Y redemption out of MEL.

    Waitlisting J while confirmed in Y?

    Hi all, I’ve currently booked MEL-SIN-MEL for the wife and I to go to the Formula 1 in September this year. We have confirmed reward seats in Y on a single booking. Given the new rules where wait lists are cleared 14 days out from departure, could I book 2 seats on the MEL-SIN leg in J...

    First Time Redeeming KF (MEL - SIN)

    So we decided to just use points for a Y redemption and keep stockpiling for a trip to Europe in J in a few years. Obviously I have to book through the SQ website, but can I link my Velocity account (I have Gold status until Aug 2020) to a KF points booking?

    First Time Redeeming KF (MEL - SIN)

    That's a great idea. Could probably mix classes to get the total spend about right. Spreadsheet time :) Those would need to be on separate bookings to mix classes right?

    First Time Redeeming KF (MEL - SIN)

    Hi all, My wife and I have been madly saving up Velocity points to travel J to Europe in 2020/2021. With the recent devaluation we dumped our balance into KF and have approx. 400k points. Following a bit of a rough start to this year we are considering dashing over from MEL to SIN for 4 or 5...

    UpgradeMe pricing and success

    Flying ADL to MEL on Saturday and bid $100 pp (minimum) on Tuesday which was accepted overnight. Its an early flight and looks pretty empty so not surprised that it was accepted. Should be a good surprise for my wife's birthday - planning to hide it until we get to the gate.

    How long does it usually take VA to upgrade your tier?

    Only gets reassessed after the SCs post though.

    How long does it usually take VA to upgrade your tier?

    Correct. Worth thinking about when you will hit your target if you are only looking to retain though - I had booked Elevate tickets for that journey but could have booked Getaway on the return as it didn't count anyway.

    How long does it usually take VA to upgrade your tier?

    They are lost unfortunately. I had a scenario recently where I flew on a Friday night, which was enough for me to qualify for Gold, then had a returning flight on the Sunday. By the time everything credited my SCs to retain was still on 0/400.

    How long does it usually take VA to upgrade your tier?

    My recent Silver to Gold took about 2 weeks from the qualifying flight posting to my status changing in the app. Card and tags arrived about 2 weeks after that.

    SQ devaluation coming Jan 24 2019

    This is 100% me. Had plans for 2x J to Europe and transferred nearly the exact amount in late December. Frustrating to be hit with the changes, but I wasn't planning on booking for another 6-8 months anyway so there's time to get what I need.

    Lounge access before status officially comes through?

    Hi all, So my wife and I are just finishing up a quick trip from Melbourne to Sydney and back again with VA. Heading into the trip I was sitting on 480 SC for my rolling 12 months, so I booked Elevate fares both ways for each of us (15 SC per person per leg - taking me to 510 SC at the...

    Hi There!

    Hi all, I've been gathering points on VA for a while now - aiming to get the wife and I to Europe in J in a year or two. Looking forward to learning the tips and tricks! Cheers, Matt
