The Velocity Status Run Master thread

I got accom through the Velocity Rewards Hotel Club site, 4 star for $145 a night

Hmmm, Does it start with a E and ends with a R ?

I just went to book A47 after finally getting vacation days figured out for my partner and it seems they have patched the booking system to prevent these bookings :

Price Not Found

Have you tried making it so it is JUST points, or JUST cash?

Also maybe try a different browser? I had all sorts of troubles but got there eventually after about 10 goes

I have only been able to get this one to work if you book them separately. If I try to do a return booking in the one PNR it comes up with that same error.

I had the same issue when I first tried to look at A47 a few weeks back when it was first identified. I haven't had any issues since, including random April dates just checked about an hour ago.

I'm hoping to tie up A49 with A6 for 300SCs incoming. Leaving A49 origin, early afternoon day before (Friday), to A6. Then A6 needs separate PNR. Total 61,600 pts (A49+A6). Ratio SCsts = 1SC:205.3pts. PJ

Just checked now and it works. Have you looked at out 11th May - back 17th May. Also how many Pax? I tried 4 Pax and didn't work but 2 Pax did. I just checked another date and it was definitely there... maybe it is a browser issue.

I'm pretty sure A9 and A10 are no longer available. I tried hunting a few weeks ago and couldn't find any (after previously finding some) for a range of dates. I made a comment in the SS, but it has since dissappared. Just tried again, and no luck. I've added a comment to the ss again. Not sure what the usual practice is regarding this in the SS.

I didn't want to post over the weekend because it was too good to be true. Friends of mine booked: HBA-DPS Business Reward 6900points +12.20

Imagine going to Bali in Business for not much..

I have to ask.. how do you find these? I've just tried searching that route but with no luck. Does it appear at random, on certain dates, for people with certain Velocity levels??

That fare is well and truly gone now. The window on such fares is very small, especially once they are posted in a public forum!

That was a great fair while it lasted, kudos to who have secured ot though! pre spreadsheet if I'm correct.

Can I ask what dates you are finding this price -or length of stay ?

I can only see $188.

I think that's the standard rate coming out of low season, I've been comparing rates from VA rewards as well as directly with the hotel. I see the hotel offers a free loyalty program with upgrades and extended checkouts plus other perks.

4 nights toward the start of May. Looking at the Velocity Website now, and can't seem to find any at $145, only $188!

Booked 2 seats for a 3 sector reward J flight, and after completing the booking went back to find the flights sold out.
That was friday night, having now watched all my recorded episodes of Gold Rush and not feeling like doing the dishes just checked the website again to find more seats available.Down to 3 seats left so makes me wonder if they have changed how many seats they are willing to allocate and how often they may release more.

Just a thought but people playing the spreadsheet game might want to pay particular attention to any anomalies the Etihad booking engine spits up in the transition to sabre. I haven't found any yet but i will be mucking around with it over the next few days and if any friendly glitches appear i will post them on the SS. Others may want to do the same?

Oops! Of course.. not specifically that fare, but the similar one currently in the spreadsheet? Is there a trick to it, or just trial and error?

For me, trial and error.
