earn points

I see that the QF SC earn when flying CX in J ADL-HKG is 100 SC compared to 60 when flying say MEL-HKG. I assume due to QF not flying to HKG ex-ADL themselves. On a return J flight that is 100+ extra SC earn when taking into account the MEL-ADL positioning flight. Note, I'm actually looking...

United is overhauling the requirements to earn MileagePlus status from 2020, replacing Premier Qualifying Dollars (PQDs) with Premier Qualifying Points (PQPs) and introducing Premier Qualifying Flights (PQFs). The minimum spend requirement is also no longer being waived for non-US residents...

I'm going to be booking the SATS golf cart transfer service at SIN with my VA GW. Is there a way to earn Extra VA/KF pts aside from what I'll earn from GW?

Saw this as an advert on AFF! Book a two-night stay at selected voco and Crowne Plaza hotels and earn a free night on us. A free night away is one of life’s great pleasures which is why we’re offering our IHG Rewards Club members a free night on us! When you stay a minimum of two...

I have a couple of flights coming up CBR-SYD-CFS and I have a complimentary lounge pass allocated for SYD. I would like to earn points on BAFF rather than QFF, is there a trick to doing this? I'm guessing I'd have to change the FF to BA, fly the first leg, change it back the Qantas, enter the...

With the approval of the JV, looks like Qantas have finally got around to improving the earn rates on some AA services (such as TransPac). People may remember they slaughtered them two years ago when the JV was knocked back...

I've spent too long waiting for the dust to settle after the amex rewards points "enhancements" this year. I feel like we aren't earning as fast, but spending more..... So today, I sat down and compared the four cards we currently have: Amex Plat Charge Amex Explorer Citi Signature Visa Plat...

Hi there, I need some help determining whether to put my future KF points into Velocity. An experienced KF/Velocity holder should have an opinion, and I'd like to hear it. As a new FF collector, I have a healthy QFF account, a very minor Velocity account, (which I pool to my husband who has...

Hi all Staying at Hilton Tokyo in about a month, cost is 488,000 yen total (prepaid rate). It's quite a long stay. Pre tax and service fees is 388,800 yen. I have registered for the double points promotion, and I am diamond HHonours, so get double points again I think (100% elite bonus)? Can...

I have a trip coming up where the routing is BNE-LAX-ORD-DFW-SYD-OOL. Ticketed by QF and all of the legs are on QF or AA except for one, the LAX-ORD leg which is on UA. It is not a code share so it's a UA flight number. I will have my QFF number recorded against the reservation to ensure I...

This was in my United MileagePlus newsletter for this month: Bizarrely, the link in the email doesn't actually work - it takes you to a website in Hebrew. I assume that's just an error with the newsletter and the shopping portal is actually happening.

This month's KrisFlyer newsletter states that it's now possible to earn and use KrisFlyer miles on Olympic Air flights (regional subsidiary of Aegean in Greece). I couldn't find much more info about this on the SQ website. Presume the award pricing is the same as the Star Alliance award chart.

Has anyone had success earning points on Government Charges on the Virgin Flyer Visa through services like B2Bpay or Reward Pay? T&Cs say you can't use the card for ATO or council rates, so I'd love to know if anyone has found a workaround for this. I have a bunch of council rates and ATO...

Checking the fineprint of the St. George Amplify Visa, and the BankWest World Mastercard, both state that BPay payments are not 'eligible purchases', to go towards the Qantas points. So how to pay bills and still have it eligible, to go toward the $6000 for Bankwest World or $4000 for Visa...

I have a flight coming up in Qantas discount economy. There are no miles or status credits awarded to my Oneworld program, but I would like to use my status to get lounge access, priority luggage and so on. What's the best way to earn Qantas FF but keep my benefits? Ask post check-in to switch...

Well, it's not the first time Qantas have done me out of points, but it's the last time I'm taking it lying down. After registering on May 8 2019 for Double Points, I booked flights on May 13, departed on May 14 and off I went on a work trip to Chile. Curiously, the double points were not...

Hello all, It looks as though I will be (sadly) moving from amazing Australia back to the USA later this year. And one of the things I'm trying to figure out is the transition from QFF back to AA, since I'll be doing most of my flying with AA once I'm back there. I've just qualified for...

Planning on going to Japan in February and want to take advantage of earning SC's for the trip. Looking over the flights through Virgin partners, Singapore Airlines looks like the only viable option. Does anyone have any other creative routes i could look at to maximise SC earn potential?

You'll no longer be able to earn 300 Velocity points per restaurant booking made on OpenTable after 20 July 2019. https://experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/member-support/media-centre/2019/Wilsonparking-partnership-update11

It used to be the AMX Velocity card at 1.5 which is now 1.25 and the Virgin Money High flyer which was 1.25 and is now 1 were the best earn rates - the AMx Explorer Card is now 1 so no advanatge here. For max earn with some return via benefits are there other cards out there for Velocity...
