Maintaining Velocity Platinum Status Hello All, I am a couple of months and a few too many flights off maintaining long held Platinum status with Virgin Aust. An illness has kept me grounded but will be on the move again in the new year. I just had a chat with Velocity Platinum about a...

I received a targeted Virgin double status credit offer to maintain Gold. The only problem is that I need to book prior to Sep 30th and fly by Dec 14th 2019. Considering that I already have 10 international sectors already booked in that time frame, there is actually no free dates to use the...

I am QFF Platinum (Oneworld Emerald) and have to fly Malaysian later in the year. I have booked in O, which does not accumulate status credits or ff points with Qantas. I had a similar experience flying Economy with Cathay earlier this year. Is there a way that I can collect the points with my...

Recently completed a return flight with Qantas SYD/HNL, Business Class. Departed on August 21 and returned on September 12, and I assumed that Status Credits earned (140 x 2) would be credited to my Frequent Flyer Account on completion of my journey, Sept 12. My Membership Anniversary Date is...

Hello All, I was hoping to get some advice from flyers much more knowledgeable than I, on how to use my VA points and current VA status I currently have 504 status credits but don't have gold status as I haven't taken 4 flights operated by VA. I have actually just been bumped back down to red...

Unable to travel recently, have been silver for years but have dropped back to bronze. Would 'regain' silver status this yr with intended normal travel 'however' could alternatively incorporate this 'normal travel' into a one world classic award trip (5 stopovers). I am thinking, as bronze...

Thanks Lance- A F Assist, we have secured our award around the world flights with our Qantas points.Do we accrue status credits/ QFF points on these flights?

Hi, I have just started an international trip and my status credits expire today which will drop me back to gold. However, my Cathay flights taken 2 days ago will enable me to re qualify. Do you know if the system will drop me back or give me a grace period for credits to appear? Given that I...

Hey guys, So I recently flew MEL > SYD > LA and my ticket was purchased while there was in DSC promo (i think in may?). Anyways, I checked my activity statement and I saw that I got bonus SC for SYD > LA, but not the MEL > SYD route, eventhough it was 1 booking and was pretty the option...

We often see cases where people have millions of Qantas Frequent Flyer points (e.g. through credit card spend), but can't get access to premium reward seats on long-haul Qantas flights because they only have Bronze or Silver status. As we know, Qantas releases more seats to Gold (and above)...

Hot off the heels of my recent announcements about Sponsored Threads and our new Search Function, I'm now pleased to introduce another new feature. (Actually, this feature did exist in previous versions of AFF so its not really new!) You can now include your status with Qantas and Virgin in...

Well, it's not the first time Qantas have done me out of points, but it's the last time I'm taking it lying down. After registering on May 8 2019 for Double Points, I booked flights on May 13, departed on May 14 and off I went on a work trip to Chile. Curiously, the double points were not...

Hi there, This is my first post on AFF (although often read articles here)! Thanks to everyone for making this community happen. I am planning to book a trip to Sri Lanka later in the year and was looking at the Qantas status earn rates to see what is best value for earning/retaining status...

So I've been pondering lately whether the double status credit promos are really worthwhile... In my own experience even when i receive the Double SC targeted promos, I prefer to wait for Sale fares which I find are usually 50% off the Saver fares This effectively means that for the same $...

Have Qantas change their policy? Previously I had successfully claim for Business Fare Qantas Point and Status Credit after bidding upgrade with Malaysia Airlines for a number of times. The recent trip was unsuccessful as the Qantas agent pointed to me that all bid upgrade now only paid base on...

Hilton Honors is currently running a promotion in conjunction with Visa, for Visa Infinite and Visa Signature credit card holders living in the Asia-Pacific region (including Australia and New Zealand). By registering on the Visa website you can get instant Hilton Honors Gold status after 2...

Bear with me a moment..... the first time I remember any kind of status credit "promo" was in 2009 during the GFC. The company I was working for went bust and I went from 15x international business trips a year on QF to zero. Needless to say, I was jobless and grounded (pun intended). So keeping...

Hi everyone, Back in February my QF WP status dropped to my LT SG status. Due to changes in work duties I rarely travel for work so the life time Gold status will now come into play for my personal international trips :) Anyway last week I did my first QF trip since the drop and checked in...

I have been running my re-qualification for QP down to the wire (exp May 31) and I am currently at 1180 status credits. Following my last flight this week that took me to this level i have noticed that my account now shows the following even though i have not yet reached the 1200 point...

I'm about to book a big trip on BA. Does anyone know if Qantas will give me my gold status credit bonus? I can't get on to chat.
