10 pts / $ for Qantas Vouchers - Back for Xmas 2014

[11sjw]

What will I do for Christmas gifts to the family this year without this promo?

10pts per $, due to the double points promo, through the online mall at DJ's.

 

[JohnK]

No sign of this promotion this year?

I think we can kiss this one goodbye. Probably too many of us taking advantage of it so they went a different direction with the mall bonus points and all that stuff.

Pretty sure that the mall bonus points happened last year as well.

In 2012 the offer only ran from 12-27 December, so I guess there's still hope

Good point. I forgot about that.

Well I've saved up so.. hope you're right

(though sadly my experience with QF vouchers over the past few months has been quite dire. I don't think I've had one go through as expected properly (out of 5 or 6) resulting in a call to QF. It was much better last year. Maybe it's just me!

I've been wondering about this too. Down to $100 of vouchers and haven't paid Credit Card fees to QF on any flights for all of 2015 except for a one way AKL - MEL that vouchers cannot be used for.

I've not paid any CC fees on ex-NZ fares ?

Got charged $7 recently... couldn't see a way to use a voucher

I thought vouchers were only usable in or ex Australia.

Yes you are correct. I guess I was just super impressed that it didn't cost the $30 per person rip off that is incurred on Int bookings ex-AU

 

[TomVexille]

That's what I said. $7 for booking exNZ. There have been a couple reported cases of WP1s being offered the ability to use a voucher exNZ though

That's correct - also 50 bonus points for restaurants, and double points for Qantas Cash foreign transactions.

Christmas | Qantas

I just checked that booking (made back in April) and actually can't see any CC charge on the eTicket so it looks like I have done the whole year without paying QF a cent in Credit Card surcharges. The confusion is caused by me trying to remember too many flights taken and upcoming bookings

But I am still annoyed that QF vouchers can only be used for travel in or originating from Australia. On the rare occasion that I need to book one way Int to Australia there is no way to access the value held on the voucher.

Granted, the value is in AUD but QF do know a thing or two about currency conversion and they have had 95 years of practice in taking money in foreign currencies.

All that aside, if the 10 point per dollar offer comes up again I will definitely be stocking up :up:

 

[QF WP]

Well if they don't run this voucher offer in 2015, then I'll be in for the triple points offer that opened this morning...

 

[drross]

got the triple points offer but no 5pts per $ voucher offer..yet

 

[chrispy3276]

5 points / $ offer for flight vouchers was available to everyone as of midnight until the end of the month:
