Qantas to fast track airline loyalty program status

[straitman]

Get a family member to transfer 5000 to you and you can transfer 5026 back to them.

I don’t think we still have 5000 points between us.

So what to do with the 26 Velocity points I still have?

You could spend $49,974 at Coles, add those resultant Virgin points to the 26 existing, and redeem them for a Tiger#2 flight MEL-SYD.

No lounges or food or WifI .. but it certainly sorts those 26 strays.

@straitman can I be the above?

Feel free. You can transfer your points to me if you wish.

Redeem for a 1/4 cup of instant noodles on board?

Yes, I'm interested in how tightly they evaluate that criteria.

Hi would they be able to find out this information?

Request your VA activity statements, like most airline/hotel status matches.

Yes from your activity statement

My company runs status match validation technology & intelligence for airlines.
Here is what I will share:

1) Validating your Velocity status is simple. Many methods to achieve this.
2) Our co runs a 'global loyalty match' list, which effectively is a database is people who have status matched from where, and when.
3) Customer lifetime value is a metric Qantas and other airlines use to determine your future value. Many factors play into this score. Qantas may buy data from third parties to build a profile on you -even if you've never flown with Qantas. Think Taylor Fry.
4) Qantas has some ability to know when you fly with Virgin even if you never tell them.

Loyalty isn't just some fluffy marketing program to make you feel good. It's straight-up data warfare, and you're the product.

Love it - insightful stuff

has anyone who submitted an EOI heard back from QF yet?

 

[Maccaj73]

I had just started a status challenge in March was 75% of the way complete with the required status credits when COVID hit... Will be disappointed if they don’t take that into consideration and give me another crack!

 

[Happy Dude]

Qatar will probably extend your Platinum status for free.
Even if they don't - they do soft landings to Gold... (I think?)

For anyone thinking of applying to this Qantas thing - just remember - airlines may not say it, but generally it's a ONE-TIME-THING.
Only apply if you plan to never ever ask Qantas for a status match ever again!

Those that were status matched from VA will not get a soft landing. So we're hoping for an extension.

Yes, the request for more info just landed in my inbox 15 mins ago.
Asking for a photo of my current flyer card with the detail visible and an 18 month activity statement.
Anyone know how to get the activity statement out other than just taking screenshots?

as far as the Qatar status match went thru (with us Virgin refugees at the time), this question was asked many times.
you have to email Virgin & ask them to email you the statement for time period you want.
That seemed the best way.

18 month activity statement

Bit rich considering Qantas don't provide more than 12 months of history themselves.

Print to PDF via chrome should work

 

[SeaWolf]

Print to PDF via chrome should work

Unfortunately that view doesn't provide enough info, the statement has to, "contain the statement month and year, membership number, name and tier status" and the activity view printed as a PDF doesn't have all that info unfortunately.
