There seems to be a trend in recent years where loyalty programs are taking the focus of their benefits away from a points currency, and towards things like "money can't buy experiences". I've lost count of the number of times I've seen cliches like loyalty programs talking about unlocking...

Hello, Based on the travel I had booked this year, I was planning on earning my 50 status credit loyalty bonus (for flying 500 status credits with QF/JQ) at the end of October. The thinking being that since my program year ends on November 30, I could then apply my status bonus in December for...

I'm curious to know if any other Qantas FF members were misled by emails sent to them stating that if they booked a Qantas flight prior to end March, then a portion of their status credits would be rolled over to their next membership year? Looking at the email again it does state that this...

This morning when I logged into my QFF I noticed a new tile and after hovering over the info icon seemed to have worked out what this is. Has anyone else seen this and another question what value does this tile add, I am only interested in my total points balance so if these points are already...

I must have been a Virgin Plat for 10 years or so. Partner ditto. Qantas have well-defined Lifetime status targets for Lifetime Gold and Plat etc. Most airlines do. I cannot recall ever seeing any Virgin equivalent - is there? I got Lifetime Star Alliance Gold for me and a partner many...
