airline status

Hi all. Here's me, still learning. I just went up to Points Club Plus. I currently have 295 Status Credits and will retain silver for 2023 (which some will know was something pathetic that I was nevertheless aiming for and excited to attain). So, with PC+ there's a lot said about rolling...

I have some upcoming flights on Air Canada and have Velocity Gold status. Just having a look at the Velocity Gold benefits page, and Air Canada is not even listed under "international airline parnters". I also can't see any mention of status benefits on the Air Canada page on the VA website...

Has anyone noticed their accumulated status credit balance has just dropped? The number of status credits required to retain status has dropped but lifetime is still correct. Very weird.

Hi all, can anyone confirm if an award booking triggers the status credit rollover? My partner has accrued >350 SC from flying, all booked before 11 August, with her status end date 31 Jan, but the only booking we've made between 11 August and now is an award booking. The QF Status Support page...

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone knows of a way I can earn the 5 extra status credits I need to retain silver? I’ve got until April. Will fly if necessary but for only 5 I hoped there might be something I don’t know about. I’m already with QF Insurance and BP. Credit cards already ‘Qantas’d.’...

Has anyone else received this email from Velocity? Double status credits at Coles this month (up to 20 VA status credits instead of the usual 10). Not sure if targeted or open to all. Incidentally, I received this email at exactly the same time as a confirmation email from Velocity saying...

Was wondering if anyone else has had issue with not yet receiving their 50 status credits from the BP 5x $50+ fuel deal? It has been over 8 weeks since I met the 5 times $50. As well as over 8 weeks since the earning period ended. Haven’t received my status credits and haven’t heard anything...

I haven't received any official communication from United yet, but if I log into the App my digital membership card now shows a January 2023 expiry date. I did not fly enough in 2021 to meet the usual qualification requirements (for very obvious reasons) so suspect it is a widespread status...

I was just having a read of this page on the Qantas website: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/status-and-clubs/status/membership-tier-journey.html I couldn't help noticing that the lifetime status requirements on that page state that you have to earn 7,000, 14,000 or 75,000 lifetime...

Finnair Plus is offering a status match to residents of Sweden until 2 November 2021. You would need to already have status with another airline headquartered in either Sweden, Norway or Denmark (which I think is basically just SAS?) and book a round-trip Finnair long-haul flight departing from...

Hi, I'm a Qantas points club member, and routinely take classic reward flights with Qantas. I'm wondering, if I book an award seat with Asia Miles, and a ticket is issued with a QF number, will I still earn SC?

First time visitor and poster, so if I have this wrong apologies. I am 90 Status Credit Points away from Lifetime Gold. Given COVID over last 18 months flying has basically stopped. So I am looking at alternate ways to gain status credit points. I came across BP spend $50 over 5 times in a...
