Wondering when u reach platinum level for the very first time is that when your membership year begins? As in any SCs earnt thereafter would go towards mainting platinum for the next year?

i think ive seen this asked before. i recently had a coolangatta - melbourne flight for myself and daughter. the flight down earn was enough to get my status over the 1000 mark to gain platinum. as usual it took about a week for the credits to come through and then to have my status to be...

Not sure if this had happened to anyone else? I achieved diamond in June this year, when I checked my account yesterday it had downgraded to silver overnight. A few emails and a Phone call this morning and it's back to diamond. Apparently it's a system glitch and accounts are randomly being...

Hi, I've got a flight next year on LATAM. Its a couple of weeks before my end of year FF date. I'm wondering if I dont put in my FF number then after claim it as missing after my year is up if I can get the status points to count towards the next year or do you think QF will back date it? Cheers

Hi Everyone, I would need your help to appropriately time my usage of this 75 SC offer on the ANZ black card. How long did it take for the sc to be posted on your qantas account? My goal, of course, is to get them posted in the membership year of my choice (in my case, I need to fly before the...

Hi all, Velocity's Family Pooling and Egypt Air Plus Family Miles are both frequent flyer programs that have the feature to pool both satus credits/miles in addition to redeemable miles, helping you reach elite status much faster. This feature, though, seems few and far between amongst other...

Hi folks, I'm heading off to LAX in Jan 2019 for a conference in San Diego. Then, I'm looking to head to Mexico CIty to do some sight seeing. If I'm not far off from qualifying for Virgin Platinum - which airlines should I consider making bookings from LAX to Mexico City return? (Unless its...

Just got Hilton Gold. Just wondering, can I use it to match to any other hotels or airline program?

I have some upcoming travel that I can book through either my employer or a government agency. I know that any public servants can't collect points, nor can they use them to upgrade or anything, but they are allowed to collect status credits - Frequently Asked Questions - Airlines and Travel...

This one has quietly crept back again this year. Didn’t receive an email but saw it in my Velocity offers. FLYBUYS Link to turn your flybuys points into Velocity Points and earn Status Credits when you shop

EDITED: If I could delete this thread, I would. Sorry - I just found the little link at the top of the calculator that lets me change which airline I'm flying on.... I know this is very basic. But if I fly Cathay Pacific (booked through Cathay Pacific but with my Qantas FF#), how many...

If QF were to adopt such a policy it would certainly ease crowding in the lounges. Airline cancels passenger's elite membership over ‘insulting’ tweet A leading Russian photo-journalist and charity activist has had his platinum frequent-flyer status with Aeroflot revoked for criticising the...

Bangladesh Trip Report I live in DOH currently. Leaving and traveling next year all over USA and Africa. Having QFF platinum is a necessity to avoid bag fees as I travel with lots of technical diving kit, I need 3 x 32kgs. Paying for bags isn't really an option when you are planning to take...

Is it possible to delay selecting more than one QF status bonus to you next status year? For example: If I achieve the bonus at 500SC on December 3 and my status year begins on 1 January, I know I can delay choosing the 50SC until Jan. I’ve used this approach before. But what if due to...

LATAM Pass is apparently offering a Oneworld status match once again. To qualify, you need to have status with a competing airline and have taken at least 1 LATAM flight in the past 12 months. (This is easily done by flying SYD-AKL on LATAM's fifth-freedom route.) LATAM Pass Status Match Is...

Hi all, not sure if this has been raised before, but I noticed over the weekend that SQ recently changed their PE fare buckets again. They've added a new category called Premium Economy Lite on certain routes, to go with their PE Standard and Flexi fares. PE Standard is coded as P, Flexi is...
