SCs to be earned on Velocity Reward bookings (6mo promotion) [AusBT]

[moa999]

With the QF changes a big chance for Virgin to one up them and extend the promotion

I had a couple of flights over the weekend and one of my flights from yesterday (June 30) posted without status credits:

Looks like I'll have to chase them up after all the flights show up as zero (1 flight on June 29, 3 flights on June 30. That is the only one that has posted so far.)

From discussions with the Velocity Rep at the mid-year dinner, this should very much be seen as a limited promotion.
It might come back from time to time, but definitely won't be a regular thing.

Nor will Velocity be introducing anything close to a 'MASA'.

I also flew 29th and 30th - not even posted yet

I can retro claim both up til 30th right?

The Velocity rep has offered to assist via PM in this thread here: http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/f90/final-reward-status-credit-run-51844.html#post852890

Or someone has reported it fixed in a 30 minute phone call: http://www.australianfrequentflyer....eward-status-credit-run-51844.html#post852858

Another here caught by the 2 day delay in flights posting.

At least you were comfortable on your non-posting flights

I did status run over the weekend. My Canberra to Melbourne flight posted within hours of the flight but my early morning flight from Mel to Darwin on 29 June did not post for a few days. Today it posted stating not eligible for awards. I just called them and they looked into it and responded that it is a mistake and it will be posted correctly within 24-48 hours.

I see Qantas is making a big push for it's FF program with TV ads and a big display at Fed Square (I assume others about the country too) and even banner ads in this thread!

I wonder what the next promo from VA is gonna be... will we hear it first here?
