airline status

Jetstar is running some very cheap club fare tickets, eg $19 SYD-AVV one way that's 20 SCs with the $85 bundle, $5.2/sc. I just booked a 2-day return trip in August SYD-TSV $59+85 one way for 30 SCs, paid $258+$30 voucher from recent auto-renewal offer for 60 SCs, which is $4.3/sc. Quite good...

Dear AFF folks, I've got a question on family pooling of status credits. I live in Australia and my parents live in India. My parents visit me once every year and I visit them 2-3 times each year. I'm QF Gold ATM and on my way to become QF Platinum this year. I'd like to have *A Gold as...

I had the below happen today. I’m glad I can laugh about it! I took my first status run to reach VA plat, needing 3 sectors and 21 status credits by Sunday to get there. I booked MEL - LST - MEL - ADL paid, and a business reward seat home from ADL - MEL as a present for all of my hard work...

Happy April Fool's Day ;) Triple Qantas Status Credits!

Due to recently misreading the fine print, I'm 40 SC short of platinum, with anniversary at the end of March. I'm flying internationally on 3 April. Is there any way of getting the platinum?

Got this in my inbox few hours ago: Kinda surprised considering Qantas held their last DSC promotion only a few weeks ago. Anyone else getting this?

Hi Everyone, this is my first post here (but I've been lurking quite a bit)!. I booked am economy ticket from Suva, Fiji to Sydney (via Nadi) on the Qantas website. The flight is marketed as QF392 but operated as FJ911. At Nausori airport (Suva) I asked if I could pay to upgrade to business...

Sorry if this has recently been asked but when i searched online i got no clarity from the virgin website, and the results in this forum were from 2013 or earlier. I've booked a business class seat via reward points. Do I earn any status points on this booking?

This arrived in my inbox...

There are a few credit cards that give you silver/gold status for hotel as long as you keep the card account open. Just wondering, is there any cards do the same for airlines?

Not sure which website I read it (or maybe I didn't at all), but can someone confirm that taking inter-island flights within Hawaii (e.g., Oahu to Maui), flying Hawaiian Airlines on their higher fare buckets, is similar to a status credit run due to the higher number of SCs earned?

A bit off topic but have people received last months status credits for shopping at Coles? They have usually arrived by now, nothing for me.

Hi All, My partner and I are travelling over to Vancouver in May to visit friends. The plan is to utilise Virgin’s current sale to fly into LAX and then use Air Canada to fly from LAX to YVR. Reasoning is that the price comes to around $1250 AUD return doing it this way and we plan to spend a...

Hi, I booked a return business to SIN from SYD on CX. As I have calculated that I would have enough SC to upgrade to QF platinum this year by just flying from SIN to SYD (on the return leg), can I ask for using CX Green status on flying out to SIN and earn better CX miles SC points on CX. Then...

Hi, just looking for someone to confirm for me the amount of Status Credits I will get on a BNE-AKL J return flight. I have looked and I think it is 160 credits return

Hi all My apologies if this has been posted before, I couldn't seem to find a recent thread about this. I'm as bronze as they come, currently sitting at 40SC. I've never done a status run and I've noticed that many of you take advantage of double SC promotions. I live in ADL and I am...

Hi All As Qantas are currently running double status credits till Friday 22nd Feb, I am trying to get to Platinum for the first time. I have a couple of flights to book which are work related, but can't put a Flex fare through with them, so am looking to use Points + Pay to reduce the cash...

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. I am trying to figure out how many status credits my family will earn on our family holiday. I think I have figured out the return to trip from Adelaide to LA (getaway fare) (via Brisbane their via Melbourne back) should earn me 50 status credits each way...

Hi all, I bought a voucher during a previous DSC offer around 18 months ago (before they changed the T&Cs to explicitly state the voucher must be redeemed during the offer period to earn DSCs) and redeemed it 6 months ago for a return business flight ASP-LHR which I have now completed. It's...
