velocity earning with blue holidays

[Jeffrey O'Neill]

Does anyone know if Blue Holidays.

Am looking to book a holiday to bali next yr

I know with QF you earn points for the booking and the flight.

See here: http://velocityrewards.com.au/content/Earn/TravelExtras/BlueHolidays/index.htm

You earn 5 points per dollar spent on the package and Your holiday must originate in Australia or New Zealand and include flights plus hotel bookings (min. one night stay).

Surely that will be one of the things addressed when Velocity is relaunched. IMO it shouldn't matter whether the flights are purchased as part of a package or not, it's still your bum in seat on a revenue (not redemption) fare.

that's what i was thinking. velocity really needs to catch up with QFF i think. Not earning on anyseat awards is a serious downside for velocity, and now that they have moved to a miles based earning system they shud be able to give miles for flights bought in a holiday package.

QFF still pays the better mileage on the cheaper fares.

Velocity have not moved to a miles based earning system for points, only for SCs when it comes to Domestic Flights.

I never understood it really. I used the service for the first time early last year (feels waay back) and I accrued SC for each of the flights (though it said 0 for normal points, owing to the fact that you got them as a seperate item on your history) and thought wow, not a bad deal. Used it again later on (about november) and discovered they had changed their minds about giving SC. I know it's not a technical thing seeing as I did get them once.

Here's hoping it gets addressed in the relaunch!
