Qantas double status credits: Register & book between 12-18 March 2025

That’s the crux of that clause. Some changes effectively go via a “credit” process and are reticketed (same PNR). There is a DIY process or you can call up.

If you make an eligible DSC booking and later need to make a change to something that was otherwise still eligible for DSC but you go via the credit route, the new clause implies that it’s ok to change within the DSC booking window but will no longer be eligible if the change is made outside the booking window, even if the travel dates are ok (and the other criteria).
That was also my take, which makes my inevitable change of mind about outback trips look a bit unlikely to still provide the DSC.

Can you ask NOT to go via the credit route when you call up? Tell them you don't want them to void your DSC offer. I'm yet to make any changes and find out what happens.

No idea. But presumably if you make a change online eg date and/or time (but same itinerary), you just pay the fare difference (as applicable). That ought to be ok.

I'll have to ask my Travel Agent if the changes they made to time and route last time went via a 'credit' (reticketing same PNR) route.

Does the double Qantas Points on Qantas Hotels stack on bookings with bonus points?

i.e hotel earn rate is currently 6 pts per $1, so with the current offer (and Points Club) it becomes 6*2*1.25= 15 points earned per $?
 
I didn't need to book much to requal 2025-26 given the October offer - but the highlight is always the thread - a good and familiar read.

I do miss NAN runs though. Remember NAN runs? They were the good old DSCs.

Cheers skip
 
Just checked my email and this offer also includes double qantas business rewards points. Might have been nice to include that detail here.
Registering for the double business rewards points also then put the business into the draw for 1 million points.
