..they will hook up with others..
…and they still call themselves Virgin!
I spent around half before the store shut. Will keep them for now.
I'm actually sad about the ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure card changes, that was seriously the best travel credit card for the fee. Don't know if I should get rid of it with the hope the free flight will come back eventually or get rid of it. Never felt this way about a credit card before.
cancel it and get it back later, you can get the sign up points again
Same here! They're not offering the card to new customers, however I've noticed Amex is still offering the Velocity card that comes with a flight so fingers crossed!
I burned through my stash on hotel stays recently. At .5cpp it was woefully over priced but I had a great time. I felt relieved after getting rid of them.
Redeem half and keep half.
Repeat next year
infinite loop
I cleaned mine out luckily a couple of days before they stopped redemptions. Was around 600k points, wasn't taking the risk of nothing! Ended up with quite a treasure trove of goodies!
I can't see much travel happening any time soon, and I may well end up changing airlines for my flying if they go for the middle ground between budget and full-service airline.
same with me… i used to use them for flights to the US every other year
I was planning to use them to mostly fund business class flights to the UK for my partner and I. That was about 12 years worth of points for me. I ended up with a lot of new tech toys instead!
Will wait with mine. Not really worth it for anything other than flights.
unless they're usable on something i want, ill wait.
Have about 150k. Bit of a dilemma if I burn them on gift cards or get proper value with flights in the future
What are people doing now with their Flybuys and Amex points now that there's a 15% bonus again? Should i just keep them in their respective accounts? Or transfer to Velocity and bank them for the future?
Hold them and use them for flights in the future - either Virgin domestic flights, or by transferring to their partners (they will hook up with others in the future).
I never redeemed any points - took a bit of a gamble - have about 500k
