FYI - I've had DSC for separate legs flown on the same day post a couple of days apart. I'd give it some time first before calling. Technically speaking, you have to wait the six weeks for them anyway!
Thanks for that. I'll leave it for a while and see how it goes. If they turn up, I'll drop a note in this thread. Otherwise I'll give it the six weeks before I call.
 
Just checked and my flights were booked at 10.53am est so before the Zulu time clicking over. Interestingly looks as if this is causing the posting delay.
Cheers all
 
I did the first leg of a delayed booking yesterday, and normal SC posted in the evening. About to board the return leg at the moment. Will report back on DSC. :)
 
Given gift vouchers have a shelf-life of 12 months from date of purchase and the DSC applies for a period of 12 months and 2 weeks and a few days, all gift vouchers would expire first so making some preferred definitions of promotion period seem less likely than others.

The voucher has to be redeemed within 12 months, but the flights themselves can be anywhere within the available booking window at the time of redemption (so just shy of another 12 months).
 
Okay all of my bookings have posted (standard and DSC's), so it would seem the promo has worked for me.

No more bookings left to fly - in hindsight I could have opted for MEL and CBR return bookings but really want them cedited to VA to get Plat again. My only reason for buying these DSC flights was to expedite my LTG status.

Ah, the numbers 3 and 4 at the top should be reversed, but i can't be bothered going back in to change. So each DSC credited between 2 and 3 days after date of original flight posted (not flown date)

Is there any evidence yet of changing flight dates on a PNR originally eligible for the promotion?

I need to change a paid F ticket for a flight next month by one day. This won’t change the PNR - and I know in previous years DSC will still have been earned - but I’m a bit nervous I’ll lose significant DSC on this booking as it’s the difference between P1 or not.

Any thoughts?

Just to report a data point on this DSC for a flight booked during the period and then dates changed posted two days later.

How is IT behind the times? All of mine posted 2-3 days later, so based on that evidence, your flight on 1st March should post either tomorrow or Sunday...

I think that comment is referring to an earlier post about IT having "caught up with updated T&C", not being slow to post.
 
It would appear some of us may have issues.

No double SCs for flights on 23rd and 24th February.

Hi All, Yes be aware of the UTC time issue. Rang QFF a week ago about how long for DSC to hit account. They told me that the flights didn't count as I had booked them on the 31st Jan 18 which was totally incorrect as the booking was made at 0730hrs AEDT on the 1st Feb. When I challenged the operator she was adamant that I had booked on the 31st. When she checked with her supervisor she had to apologise and then informs me that all QF bookings are done in UTC time not Aussie time zones. My were in fact booked on the 1st Feb as required in the T&Cs. Been three weeks now and still have not turned up. Guess I will have to wait for the entire 8 weeks for them to manually do. There system definitely has glitches.
