I am achieving VA Plat status with a flight on the 14th April. The date needed for the status change (ie the date I loose a chunk of status credits) is the 15th April so I will scrape in with 1 day to spare. That flight wont appear for ~1 week so will the credits be back-dated to the 14th and I...

Trying to figure out what my lounge options are - or more importantly, if I have plenty of time (as in too much time as I wait for a late flight), where I should park myself give the limited lounge options. I'm flying Qantas out of Shanghai - I am platinum. I don't care how far I have to walk...

Just trying to clarify something here. I am WP. I won't make the 800 SCs before my review date in Dec '19. First question: this means I will "soft land" to SG for the next year, right? Which means I need 400 SCs to maintain SG before Dec '20. I have a family holiday planned this October, and...

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...
