Well, I actually had to rebook one flight as I goofed the dates!

Should I be worried? I just made a booking around 11pm AEDT and it still hasn't ticketed. The conditions say for bookings made before 11:59pm. It's showing in my future bookings list but my understanding was it's not officially ticketed until the email is received. If it doesn't come in before midnight are they likely to try and stiff me?

I took a screen shot of the booking confirmation screen with the time and date showing so that is hopefully some cover.

Booked MEL-BNE-HKG-BNE-MEL for 3,5k netting 720 status credits. Over half way to WP requal at that price is not at all a bad deal IMO.

What was the price per SC? Hope it gets ticketed. Does it show in your profile? Yes, you did say, so you have a PNR Check the Finnair site to see if you have a ticket number using the PNR.

AEDT? Well, offer is sill valid until midnight in Perth. Still have 10 minutes for new bookings

Works out about $4.80. Not superb but very reasonable for a trip I needed anyway.

Wont matter that it hasnt ticketed, its booked. One of ours took months to ticket and still worked just fine for DSC.

So how long did the SCs end up taking to post?

DSC’s not in yet. I ended up changing my flight to 5th Nov but husband had a flight booked for last Wednesday 24th having been booked on 16th Oct and only usual credits and points have posted so far.

Thanks, I also had a MEL return last week and no bonus SCs showing up yet so wanted a point of reference. Prior offer DSCs seem to post quicker.

I think the first round takes a while then once it’s bedded down it becomes faster.

I don't think Qantas infrastructure has seen three concurrent DSC offers before, so it remains to be seen whether it can handle it!

Fingers crossed they haven't made any changes to how the system handles delays

It’s Qantas IT. Anything goes.

Bonus SC's from my Wednesday morning came through on Friday, Thursday evening bonus yet to come. But the previous rounds have come through in less than a week recently.

I have been waiting two weeks for my bonus credits. Rang Qantas this morning because i need them to go from Gold to Platinum (this week) and they said it could take 6-8 weeks. Ridiculous

 

[wannabeinvestmentbanker]

Perhaps they are just doing a weekly sweep but any updates on the most recent DSC offer coming through would be good.

I'm at the start of my FF year and comfortably requal for WP so feel for those relying on it for status upgrades.

Nope. We had a Weds flight and no dsc yet.

To add to the insult, my Thursday has come through. What was that talk about inconsistency???

 

[wannabeinvestmentbanker]

To confirm, those flights were booked during the latest DSC not prior ones?

If referring to me, they were booked during the most recent DSC.

If tdimdad is the same then I’m up for a tweet later this week.
