You might be right. Maybe I'll buy one Economy SQ Syd-Sin ticket in cash, and buy the second on points, and get both the Sin-Ams legs on points. At least then I get some SCs as well as most of the benefit ofmy points.

This gives me hope, we are hoping for 2 x J Syd - Europe (happy with many destinations) in Sept 2020, currently have ~600,000 VFF points. So it can be done!

Yeah I'm happy to pay $129 knowing I am 100% getting to my destination rather than $109 knowing there's a chance I might be bumped and stranded.

Great, thankyou. No, not a reward booking.

Quick one for anyone with experience in this. We booked Syd - Christchurch, which has been cancelled and we have been moved to Syd - Bris - Christchurch, so we have 1 extra leg to fly now. If this has happened to you, did you get SCs for the extra flight that Virgin put you on? Thanks - this...

Never. Better to increase fare cost by $5 than to quote $x for the fare then start adding on all these other things. Especially things that will cause tight-coughs to mess up the in-cabin environment.

If they're like other big organisations, their valuable work will just be heaped onto those who are left, who will be told "do more with less," and "you're lucky to still have your job so suck it up." And sadly those people will believe it.

I had a free weekend rental recently through status at Europcar that came from VFF, but I booked it all online. IIRC they emailed me a voucher code.

I was hoping to land some SCs though, as I'll need to requal for Gold.

I want to do the same thing, so interested in this thread. Have 600k VFF points, want wife and I to get Europe return in Business class Sept 2020. Ideally buying economy and upgrading on points (so we get SCs for another year of status) but open to all options.

Got it. Thanks. I'll leave our Oct trip pooling to my wife as that'll take her to gold. Now how to plan our Sept 2020 trip to both get some SCs towards requalifying, as well as use some of our half a million points to get business class seats....

I'm also unsure of something. I'm a Plat but won't requalify, so I'll drop back to Gold in Dec 2019. I have overseas travel booked in Oct 19. Will the SCs accrued on that trip count for my next year's 400 needed to re-qual for Gold? ie do they last for 12 mths, so when I drop to Gold I may...

Fair enough, we arrive at 4:30pm so maybe it;ll be ok.

Gee I hope so. Flying BNE - CHC in late Sept and if this one isn't open, it might be better to visit the domestic lounge on arrival from Syd, rather than chance the Plaza lounge that is reportedly rubbish.

Would you do any other sort of work for $30 for 4 hours? No, didn't think so.

Sorted. I'm pooling to my wife. My account only shows the base points - "X points pooled to member 123456" - but checking her account, the bonus points were all added correctly, direct to hers.

Almost the same for me. Just transferred a big pile of ANZ Rewards points and Flybuys points over to Velocity. The base points all went onto my Velocity account (Flybuys instantly, ANZ within 24 hrs) but only the base redemption. No bonus points for either transfer have appeared. Particularly...

Points don't worry me, they're a dime a dozen, it's the SCs I'm looking at. I booked this trip in a double SCs period, so could be a good score, 4 people at double SCs with an extra leg.

Yes that was the idea, purchase SQ Y, convert VFF to KF points, use KF points to upgrade Y to J seats, then revert the link on the booking to VFF before flying, collect Y SCs (wife pooled to me). Hm. I wonder if there's any way to know for sure.

I've booked SYD-CHC in late September for a family holiday. VA has emailed me syaing my flights have changed, we've now been moved to SYD-BRI then BRI-CHC at approximately the same time as the original booking. VFF service couldn't tell me why but I took this thread as my source! It's a bit of...
