Hi all, I just received an email from the Honors program that as of 1 April I will downgraded from Gold to Silver. I am confused - I have previously (thought I) had a 1 January review. I was just short in # stays / nights to achieve Gold through 2018, but the system said that 2018 nights...

Hi and wondering if anyone has advise on what to do with the points earn for our Icelandair flights? Even if I can put them to a program and then donate them would be better than them expiring as I doubt we will fly them again anytime soon. thanks,

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 guys, my last stay was booked with amex credit on amex travel website. Does this also give me points and status nights for my HH account?

I currently still have a Virgin Mobile phone plan and so does Hubby. I know we have to stop this soon as Virgin Mobile will no longer exist. I'm holding out because I'm still earning points by having the plan. Can anyone tell me if any other service providers have the ability to earn Velocity...

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, Will be flying biz CNS-SYD in the coming week. Need to maximize status credits. I have looked at CNS-BNE-SYD and CNS-MEL-SYD but both come to 100 credits (60 + 40). Cost - $950 I have also looked at CNS - TSV/HMI - MEL - SYD but that does not fare much better, considering price-points...

Hi all, I was due to fly out this morning on QF(I can't remember what)1130AM MEL-SYD (DE) 10 Status Credits and SYD-CNS (DE) 15 Status Credits I was informed literally an hour ago that MEL-SYD flight was cancelled and now as a result I have to catch QF614 at 11:10AM MEL-BNE and QF1754 BNE-CNS...

Qantas sends out discounts and vouchers to QFF members with birthdays that month. Just got one this morning. Almost every time I get one of these things, either the discounts offered or the timing involved means they are useless. This time however, I have a trip in a couple of weeks with one...

Hi all, Probably a simple question here but I don't seem to get an answer on Google or here. I'm about to book a qantas flight which should give me 7800 qantas points. My question is, if I choose to put down my Asia miles membership number for this booking, does it give me the same 7800 in Asia...

Overheard someone saying Amex is reducing the earn rates for new applicants from next month. Will see if this is true or not.

Hi All, Been lurking an reading for a while but I've got that travel bug again. Looking at using my points to redeem Award flights to LAX. Problem is for the 2 of us, I'm about 10k short on points. Looking for solutions on how to quickly acquire these points. I use my Qantas linked Amex for...

I recently flew ADL-HKG on CX in PE, which netted 50 SC. The return trip was HKG-MEL - which is around 200 miles greater distance - but QF only provided 30 SC for that leg.

I was just hoping for some advice. I'm in the midst of planning my next holiday to Taiwan and see that there are direct flights from Australia on CI which are codeshared. If I fly the QF marketed, CI operated flights (e.g.QF 389 from SYD to TPE), will I get normal QF status credits and miles...

We recently stayed at St Regis KL and I booked the accommodation via Qantas Hotels as the rate was significantly cheaper than direct with Marriott. I understand that the room charges, as not booked direct, will not earn any points. Does this mean that the food and beverage charges (eg...
