5,000 bonus points each on up to 3 international Qantas Hotels bookings (book by 5/8/24)

Update, I got through on the phone because someone in Qantas Holidays transfered me to Qantas Hotels. They said they would contact Expedia and ask for a full refund. I don;t know if I can fight to get the 5000 bonus points. I should have just booked cheapie hotels in Indonesia like everyone else

Surely you can get some compensation from them for needing to book a replacement hotel at a moment’s notice? Bugger the 5000 points (on their own) - I’d be expecting zero quibbles from them for that and more compensation for that sort of a screw up!

Not to mention having no customer support because it was not during Aussie business hours! They need 24 hour customer service. This all happened around 16:00 in Chile time, I was desperate to find something in my budget before dark. My travel insurance excess would negate the clam so not worth it.

I booked 3 hotels in Chile meeting the minimum$100 criteria. The first 2 went off fine. Today I reached the last hotel, and found 2 ladies who appeared to be living at the address. The hot el sign is down and no signs of any hotel functions, seems like a house. Through Google Translate they told me that it has not been a hotel for 2 years, the new owner is from Colombia. They said I had been scammed. But this hotel is STILL being sold on Qantas hotels, Expedia and others. I was able to cancel and get half the money back but of course I want a full refund since I had to find another hotel to stay at. Plus I am also out 5000 points which was the whole reason to book it. I am having trouble calling Qantas Hotels, no one knows what to do. I can't figure out how to email or chat them. Any ideas?

I’ve had this with Expedia in the past. Arrived at a hotel in Macedonia and they promptly said “we haven’t dealt with Expedia for years”.

Ironically the replacement hotel I found with help from a kind local was cheaper and in a better location. I wouldn't have looked twice at the defunct one if not for this promo.

I have had to reschedule my hotels - pushing the dates out by a week. Will the bonus 5000 points still be honored since the booking was created within the validity period?

I doubt anyone here can answer definitively unless they have made similar date change themselves.

However, I note that the Qantas Hotels bookings have an associated "PNR" style booking reference that begins with QA followed by a seven characters. This booking reference is on the Qantas Hotels Booking Confirmation email you will have received when making the booking.

If your booking change resulted in a new Booking Confirmation reference, then I would suggest it may not quality. But if the Booking Confirmation reference has remained the same, then it is more likely you will still qualify.

But I make no claim to knowledge of how the QF back-end system is going to interpret your circumstance.

Not too sure for the bonus promotion but for the triple points one in the past, once you make a change the triple points disappear and will be calculated as per normal unless you make the change during another triple points promo

No sign of my 5000 bonus. Base points have posted.

Did anyone else get an offer in an email titled 'SydneySwan, unlock offers and discover top travel tips'?

@SydneySwan - can you remember how long it was between when you booked your flight and when you received the 3000 points/hotels offer? I've never had a 3000 point offer before after making a booking - am hoping to get one this time having made a booking today.

I made bookings on both 6th and 7th October and the email was received at 10.47am on 8th October. The email does not reference any particular booking - it just says ' Thanks for booking with Qantas'.

OK many thanks!! I'm guessing that I won't get one as they have a triple points thing going that finishes today.

A new 5000 point bonus offer dropping on Monday morning would be really useful if you are listening QF Hotels!

Nice!! I got nothing! Had he just booked a flight? I will hold out until Monday morning in the hope of an offer before booking my China hotels

No

He’s on a 5-6 month trip in Europe so I’d checked the return flights so maybe that triggered it

Base points have posted @ 6 x $$ which was nice. Still waiting for 5,000 bonus.

Update: Seems like the need to make an international booking means outside Australia rather than international for the purchaser. Nothing mentioned in the T and C about this. Is it worth challenging?

The base points often posted weeks before the bonus so a wait may be in order, then escalate it
