Discussion about, and issues with, new website & booking engine post 13 Nov 16
 
The new website is live, replete with new membership numbers and new confirmation numbers for existing reservations; I wasn't expecting that. My next flight leaves in 3 days.

Just checked mine, I wasn't expecting the new PNR either. Also, there are two of us on the PNR and our seats swapped with each other. No matter.

server(s) not well
 
it's struggling at the moment.. getting a variety of errors, including;

Internal Server Error - Read

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.


Finally got on. After updating my details, tried to log back in with my new details and tells me I am locked out and to call Flying Club. In a queue with that.

Also noticed my x years (>10) as continuous Gold Member has been reset to 1 year.

I'm just wincing like hell. I've got a "new" number...about 26 hours before my next flight on DL. Joy. I am not keeping full faith in IT to keep this straight and not lose the points into the ether.

Can't log in now either, did last night.
 
My Gold "years" are also showing as 1.

I fly on VS8 LAX-LHR on Tuesday, should be interesting.

Miles look ok, no current flight booked, got new FC #.

My past tier points are screwed up. Silver shows, but with 375 tier points (should be 450). It also shows it expiring in Feb 2017 (should be Oct 2017). When I look at activity, tier points show as zero for everything (yet somehow I have 375!), both partner flights and CC activity.

Plus every time I log in I have to set up the security questions again.

Wow... that website sucks on mobile! When are companies going to realise, that the vast majority of browsing is done on mobile nowadays and the key is to design for mobile first then work backwards to tablet and desktop.

The website is nigh on unusable on iPhone. Bad work here VS.

Discussion about new website and booking engine 13 Nov 16
 
I am going to split posts away from the thread about changes to the flying club to make a separate thread for discussions about the re-vamped Website and the joining to Delta's booking engine.

It is coming live over this weekend. I flew to Dubai last night and the systems being down meant no OLCI - we were supposed to be able to check in via Delta.com but, surprise surprise - just got a series of error messages, despite the website recognising out VS PNR and a Delta PNR.

In the end, it wasn't an issue we got our allocated seats in a very full PE cabin.

give it a couple of days. I can see them stopping tasks like this whist the website upgrade was happening and ensuring it was stable Just give them some time to catch up

1st April 2017, just called flying club and they confirmed that my Tier Points expires on 30th April 2017 and will eventually be updated on my account.

Terrible luck here using the new website. Finally was able to log on to my husband's account but now it won't let me change his password. Keeps telling me my password is invalid. Tried requesting via Send My Log In Information and it told me my name, Flying Club number and email were invalid as well.Won't let me into my account and has locked me out. Very frustrating. Tried bypassing log in and put in my Booking Reference number and ticket number and it tells me my ticket number is invalid.......flight is in 2 weeks and was trying to purchase miles with Mileage Booster and of course, it says I have to log in. Hope this is fixed very soon.

It'a appalling. An epic fail.

Yeah I am not worried though I did set up a reminder on my calendar to check again in a week.
