Hello from the top end!

Hi All

I'm Simsy from Darwin (formally Brisbane).

I've always read this site to get tips and interesting facts and thought why not join.

I used to be an avid Virgin flyer till I started flying Qantas for work. I built up to gold with work but part of the contract was when you left, they kept them (points and account)

Have now moved up north and re-started my FF program (and rejoined Qantas Club), so far i'm about half way to gold, from silver in about 6 weeks, which i'm pretty happy with...

Look forward to talking to you all soon!

Cheers

Simsy

Hi Simsy,

I spent weekend in Darwin - loved it!

Drank too much at Oktoberfest!!

Not sure how employer could keep your QFF account as it is a personal thing. I would have refused to give them my PIN

How can they do this - that would be in breach of the T&C's of QFF where an account "is open only to individuals":

Frequent Flyer - About the Program - Terms & Conditions

5. Membership

5.1 Membership of Qantas Frequent Flyer is open only to individuals. Membership is not open to families, groups, companies, trusts, partnerships, other entities, government departments, agencies, animals or inanimate objects.

Welcome to AFF Simsy. Was the points and account reference in regards to a Qantas Gold membership or Virgin Gold? As the others have stated, they're yours and yours alone...

Haha thanks for the welcome folks - seems as though I've started a commotion with my first post!

It was part of the contract, you have to sign them over when you leave. Had a form to sign and everything... Don't worry, i'd love to get them back as much as the next bloke - I won't mention publically who I worked for, but its part of working in this paticular...company.
