    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    Hi all! I have signed up for this card late May, received it on May 29th and hit the 4k mark in mid June. Selected Air Canada within 2 weeks and on Jun 27th was given 50K Air Canada status (quivalent to gold). When should I expect to get the signup bonus points? Thanks!

    Velocity Gold Privileges flying Delta - Experiences?

As strange as it sounds, I was en route to Nassau, The Bahamas this Feb via ATL and rolled up to the lounge at ATL being sure it will all be alright (as it was at LAX and...

    SQ Earning with VA Status Perks

    You should call Singapore Airlines and ask for this. I had an opposite situation (wanted to use VA FF to earn points and SCs while needed to specify my Krisflyer number to redeem miles for an upgrade, as the flights were booked as SQ) and giving them a call solved this.

    Wilson One - Free 1000 Velocity Points

    Signed up for the offer before Apr 30th, received the card and the $50 credit invoice via email. Have just tried using the card yesterday and it worked flawlessly both at the entrance and at the exit gates (tap). Checked my Wilson One account balance today and yesterday's transaction isn't there...

    Wilson One - Free 1000 Velocity Points

    No points from Wilson here too. And I recall promises of VA points with Aussie Post for signing up for eBills with supported providers, of which I've also seen nothing in a couple of years so far...

    Anyone with recent travelling experiences to Israel???

    I'm an Israeli (not natively born, but lived there for 20 years) living now in Oz for the last 7 years. Have just come back from a business + family trip in Israel. As others indicated, you will be perfectly safe there while applying some common sense. It's safer to go around with locals, but...

    Hi all! I'm a medium-frequency mostly-for-business traveller currently holding Velocity Gold status. Willing to learn more and leverage (and, hopefully in the future, contribute to) the community knowledge. Cheers!
