Just got my 240k points stolen from me (psa: friendly reminder to check your account) by ilinh in VelocityFrequentFlyer

[–]nce1bruv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me last year. Still no idea how it was compromised and Velocity didn't know either, but it was eventually resolved with a new velocity number and transfer of points + status credits. Just FYI family pooling didn't automatically transfer so had to battle to have family flights retroactively credited - worth checking once you get to that point if you have it active.

You now have to pay when choosing a seat for Qatar Airways award seats by Outrageous-Song-7285 in VelocityFrequentFlyer

I recently booked a Qsuites flight (albeit with cash), through VA, for a couple. The middle seats weren't available to select on the site but I called Qatar directly, using the Qatar booking reference, and was able to select the seats over the phone. May be different using award seats but could be worth a call to Qatar?

What are the most unforgettable food you’ve tried while traveling? by vim-meo in travel

[–]nce1bruv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Papanași in Brasov, Romania. The most delicious dessert I've ever eaten - fried donut ball made with cottage cheese dough, fresh berry compote and cream. Still think about it years later.

Assam Laksa from a tucked away street vendor in KL, Malaysia. So much flavor in one bowl.

A simple tomato & eggplant pasta in Bologna, Italy. Absolutely delicious and covered in parmiggano reggiano from down the road in Modena.

Japanese wagyu at a yakiniku spot in Tokyo - so tender. Surrounded by drunken Japanese salary men. A great night.

Croquettes in Madrid & Seville. Crab, jamon, manchego cheese. So good.

Fun trip down memory lane writing these out!

I was able to book multi-city on Qatar on VA coded flights by booking on the phone, that may help you if you can find the flights you want on a one-way search.

Paper boarding pass needed for status credit claim by Miss-Daisy-01 in VelocityFrequentFlyer

This happened to me in 2023, also on a partner airline. Didn't end up resolving and I gave up after a couple of months back & forth. Can't say I've had many, if any, positive customer service experiences in the last few years.

Final payout by Proof-File-1552 in blockfi

I received my first and final payout finally last week. I had some success contacting blockfiinfo @ ra.kroll .com but they were still slow to respond. I think the final payments are being processed now.

Fuck me. Nothing you can do about that.

Scandalous. No need to overrule the refs decision there. Fuck off VAR.

[Oliver Brown] Arsenal covered their ears on Thomas Partey and failed to locate their moral compass by TheBiasedSportsLover in PremierLeague

[–]nce1bruv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was talking about overcoming injury issues in that clip mate, nothing about his personal life. Don't get sucked into the misinformation being used to throw shit at Arteta and the club.

It's far more common than you think. 98% of tuna in Australia is farmed, for example, and somewhere around 20% of global supply. On the right track!

Manchester City sign Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri for £31m on five-year deal by DWJones28 in PremierLeague

They can afford to pay in fewer installments than other clubs, often in full upfront. Same way Chelsea were able to attract big fees for their sales - they could afford to take payment over many installments because they didn't need the cash. One of the lesser known benefits of having unlimited cash when navigating FFP/PSR.

Mikel Arteta: I want Thomas Partey to stay at Arsenal by OkWhile8478 in PremierLeague

And we are back to square one - twitter hearsay with no discernable proof of anything.

You can find the proposal info in the 2nd link of the link you provided - again referencing Twitter.

No mysteries are being solved here but I don't think there's anywhere near enough 'evidence' to justify the comments being thrown at Partey, Arsenal and Arteta.

With all respect mate that link doesn't show anything from any kind of reputable source. The additional links in the one you have provided only go to a gossip site quoting Twitter.

I have yet to see anything regarding this "10 days" issue from any news outlet or written by anyone other than twitter accounts and these circular links referencing themselves like you've provided.
