Velocity FF Status Match Promo
« on: September 08, 2011, 02:01:56 AM »
Not sure how many people this applies to as you need to be an Australian resident to qualify.  Also they won't match from any of their partners.  More's the pity, as the only status I currently hold is Delta.  Any suggestions as to where I could match to?

I did this already with my CO Plat.  Moved in with some random Aussie guy where the rent was cheap ;)

I'd assume BMI Gold would work, YMMV.
