I have just looked at this email. Sent to an email box not linked to QF.
Pretty good if you are not looking at the content.
A QF 103rd birthday gift of a AUD 99.5 coupon, just for me.. a "Customer". Just confirm all your details & we will do the rest.
Not sure how an old credit card promo is a free gift.
They couldn't even bother to put in the correct dates in the small print.
