Re: Double SC for all! (Book until COB 6th Mar, Travel Mar 2017 - Feb 19, 2018) Customs might wonder what you're doing in NZ for all of 2 hours and 5 minutes, however, as you are technically "Transitting" you might not even need to leave the terminal or clear customs if you are able to have...

Re: Double status credits 2/3/17 - 6/3/17 I did this myself a few times. Booked a few MEL-AKL trips in whY during the DSC promo, and upgraded them to J when the J sales came on. DSC's posted without issue.

Re: 2 x SC for all! (Book by 6th Mar, Travel Mar 17-Feb 19, '18) It appears as an option if you search for MEL-CHC, unfortunately the SYD-CHC flight on EK doesn't appear (would have preferred EK J over QF J) My "transit" in CHC is 6 hours.. Arriving 2355, depart 0615. Haven't decided what to...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options I've just booked MEL-SYD-CHC-BNE-MEL for 1.6k in J for 260SC (520 with the promotion). This works out to 3.12 dollars per SC. Do it twice and you're right on your 1,000SC Target.

Re: 2 x SC for all! (Book by 6th Mar, Travel Mar 17-Feb 19, '18) Booked MEL-SYD-CHC-BNE-MEL in J for 1.6k, for 520SC. not bad at $3.12 per SC!

Re: ANZ QFF/Rewards card earn rates enhanced™ Good change as I was looking for a new 1ppd card to replace my HSBC Qantas Card, but I doubt I would keep it beyond the 1st annual-fee free year as the Qantas Black will still be asking for $425pa.

Re: ANZ QFF Black 75,000 bonus with no annual fee 1st year -only $2500 spend 1st 3 mo I can't answer question 1 as I am still in the process of meeting the minimum spend, but if you log-in to your online banking, select your FF Black account, and under 'Rewards Points' on the left menu titled...

Re: QF Singapore lounge 'enhanced' Agreed. in the beginning, the Dishes of the day at least looked (even if they weren't) like they were cooked to order. Whereas, the noodles on offer the last time looked like something you'd get out of a cheap buffet (overcooked, mushy and oily)

Re: QF Singapore lounge 'enhanced' EK > QF/BA (Tie). Food and Drink at EK lounges tend to be a step above whats offered at QF J lounges. Plus by the time you fly in July the EK lounge will have been upgraded and refreshed so definitely worth checking out. The QF Pub becomes pretty rowdy in...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is there not still some value in intra-USA flights within the "coast". E.g. Flying LAX-PHX-YVR as even taking into account the reclassification of domestic First as Business, each sector would fall within the "other" category a earn 60SC per sector?

I was successful in getting it waived last month when upgrading from Y to J on a trans-tasman flight. There was no option to do this through MMB and the option to "Change" was greyed out and said to contact your Qantas office. Had to argue my way through it, and after consulting with a...

I used to do this when paying Uni Fees (back in the day when cards were accepted without surcharge) and would pre-load +5/10k as necessary onto my CBA card and never had an issue. Points were also credited without any complaint. but as stated above YMMV

I booked myself SIN-KUL-SIN (Connecting to MEL otherwise) on 3K (But QF Flight number) and like you was assigned 16C, but was provided with a sandwich and water on both legs of that journey. I was surprised and wasn't expecting this. Baggage allowance was the same as you otherwise.

Just another data point:- My Airbnb booking for 4-6 November credited on 16 Dec.

does anyone know from experience if the vouchers can be used for flights marketed by QF but operated by another airline? (e.g. JQ). I'm looking at booking flights MEL-BKK on the JQ direct flight and returning BKK-SIN (3K operated, QF code) and SIN-MEL (QF)?

Please feel free to use my referral link for this card. As a referral bonus, you get an extra 10k bonus points, which brings it to a grand total of 110,000 QF points after spending $1.5k within 3 months. There is also a further 2,500 QF points after your first spend with Qantas. If you use it...

For what it's worth, I held the AMEX Qantas Premium card until about March 2016, and I currently hold the AMEX David Jones Platinum when I applied for the AMEX Qantas Ultimate last month (DAMMIT.. but i can't complain with the 50k bonus) and I still received the sign up bonus which was a nice...

My AA Domestic First Flights for July 2017 were previously booked into P have now been relabeled as Business (I) on Qantas MMB. This is a bit disappointing as it means a fair cut in SC's. Any idea how QF whether QF will honour original booked SC's prior to this change?

I last tried getting into the AMEX lounge before QF81 (1115am departure) and was told the AMEX lounge was packed, so they were sending us to the Skyteam lounge next door (which I believe is run by the same group). The Skyteam lounge itself was a bit underwhelming, but still better than the QF J...

In my experience with this card, the Bonus points posted on the 3rd month/cycle after the card was opened. I hit the qualifying spend in the first two weeks of having the card, but I found HSBC took their maximum time to transfer the points (unlike say AMEX) as always YMMV
