Bonus 1,000 Qantas points, 15 status credits or $20 flight voucher if fully vaccinated against COVID-19

[SydneySwan]

Just checked the ATO app - no discount on tax offer, at least not yet.

15 SC that gets you closer to LTP is a no brainer!

Assuming that they count for lifetime status.

Assuming that they count for lifetime status.

Or at least rollover (for those lucky enough to get Status Keeper 2.0).

As I'm based overseas I'm sure this offer won't be available to me, but if it was I'd take the 15 SC like a shot. With reduced flying at the moment SC are hard to come by, but I can still earn points via credit card spend etc.

If a straight swap was offered I'd happily exchange 5,000 points or $50 cash for 15 SC.

Looks like they do not count. Ah, no point in getting it now!

I'll wait until my new membership year in November before I request for the status credits...

Yeah, not counting for lifetime status makes the offer a lot less attractive for me; how do they expect me to get to LTP if they keep doing things like this?

I don't need another 1,000 points and the $20 flight discount can't be used in conjunction with "bookings which include the use of a flight credit or Qantas Points". As I have a number of credits to use up, the $20 is of little interest either.

Qantas has just provided another reason for reduced vax uptake - no contribution of SC to LTP.
You heard it here first

<Cynic's hat on>

So, you have to upload your myGov digital vaccination certificate in order to claim 'prize'. Now, I don't mind that, at all - but is it a start of a vaccination database for Qantas? Again, I don't mind that; I'm good to go and the Devil take the hind-most.

<Cynic's hat off>

I see the offer on iOs, with bookings (AFF Newcastle ... sigh )

 

[Jacques Vert]

AJ appearing on ABC News Breakfast to talk abouit this shortly...

No LifeTime SC reward so no incentive from QF to bring vaccination forward to this membership year.

 

[zig]

I’m still not seeing anything about this offer in the app. Where are people seeing the details about it?

 

[mviy]

They showed some stuff about it briefly in the app maybe for testing. I think it is meant to launch for real tomorrow.

 

[Kangol]

The link (scroll up) says it starts at 8am AEST tomorrow.

 

[jakeseven7]

I wonder if VA2 will match or better this offer.

Could be great PR if they doubled it and got into a bidding war with QF over something positive!

 

[SydneySwan]

I think I prefer Albanese's offer of $300. You can spend it anywhere.

Thanks, I had missed the link. Got it now.

Look along with the 50SC's from BP, and the carryover of 100 SC's, at least I will now only need 435 SC's whenever I can fly again to keep my gold as I missed the status keeper by a month this time!

I feel the 15SC's would in a normal year along with the BP offer get a lot of Bronze to silver perhaps....

 

[Isolar]

Wondering if the 15SC would be included in the SC rollover. Otherwise not much use for me in the current membership year.
