Double Status Credits on QF Operated Flights. Book 9/8/18-14/8/18 for travel 21/8/18 to 8/8/19

[cvmceg]

Any SC earned by flying QF/JQ flights as per normal - irrespective of any bonus promotion, will apply to Loyalty Bonuses.


so.. yes.

Ok. thanks.

So my calcs put me 25SC short of loyalty bonus (475), whilst that also puts me 25SC short of Gold (as inclusive of DSC ill be on 675)

eek.

 

[JFi]

The 'Bonus' part of the credits dont count towards the 500 Loyalty... am i right to assume that the 'regular' part does? ie. 20SC normally applies but the 20SC + 20SC =40 double, does not?

many thanks

If I'm understanding your question correctly, that's wrong. Your normal 20SC will still apply but the extra 20SC that is the DSC will not apply. It does not mean that the total 40 will not be counted? Unless you mean the 40 IS the bonus you got?

To clarify, if you scroll down to the table at the bottom Frequent Flyer - Flying Qantas and Partner Airlines - Status Credits and Tier Benefits - Status Credits
any bonus status credits you get don't count towards the Loyalty Bonus, Platinum Bonus Reward, Platinum One Bonus rows but it still counts towards obtaining / maintaining your tier and the normal status credits you get counts for everything there.

That's my understanding.

25 is nasty because the cheapest flights carry about 10SC so to fall over the line you need to do 2 return Y elcheapos

Not while there is a DSC offer available!

Even outside of DSC offers, it depends where you are, but for example MEL-BNE earns 15 SCs each way in the cheapest fare bucket, and often costs less than MEL-SYD.

The best way to get an email receipt is to go into your FF webpage and register from there. I registered by clicking via the email offer but got no email receipt so went into FF webpage and registered from inside webpage and email receipt received instantly

Same here.

Yes. I did this a couple of hours ago and instant email.

 

[Quickstatus]

Ok everyone should by now have sorted out the fine print...

It’s the same sh** everytime!!!

I’ll almost certainly sit this one out. Already LTG. Just requalified P1 and no desire to make up bookings for next status year. GV uncertainty.

Killer though is the restriction to QF metal. Understandable of course, but that’s enough of a disincentive to me at the moment for any long haul travel where QF may have received some additional flights from bookings with OW or EK forming the main booking.

Haven’t actually received an email, so haven’t read T&Cs, but from flicking through this thread seems to again be an absolute cluster.

Good luck to those who can take advantage. And good luck finding a seat in the lounges.

I don't know that P1's get the email. I've not had one over the past few offers. After all where can they suggest we go from P1 in terms of climing status? BA?

NB SWMBO received email early this morning.

I (WP) received an email about it mid afternoon.

looks like the banner got pulled from the front page.
We are back to only people with email links as i dont see it under the members specials page

Too many people signing up and booking perhaps

Fair point. If it wasn’t QF I’d suggest simple tweaking would allow an email to be tailored for P1s who may not yet be LTG or haven’t yet retained P1 / still have a way to go. But this is probably beyond them, and maybe they don’t want fake P1s anyway.

What are you talking about? I get shown to a reserved seat every time

I can still see it.

I can still see it.

its back again. Probably a temporary thing. Or im reading too much into it.

Ive lost count of the number of times I’ve sat down somewhere only to be waved off by staff saying that’s reserved for GC340. You’re the only one, best I can tell.

I notice a slight change on the page.. it's now between 21AUG08 till 02AUG19. That may explain the slight absense while the CMS was repopulated.

Book an eligible Qantas operated flight* between 9 August and 14 August 2018, for travel from 21 August 2018 and 2 August 2019.

Frequent Flyer - Member Specials - Double Status Credits offer

What's weird, is that 2nd Aug 2019 is not 353 days from the 9th of August.. it's a bit random to me. but that is a change I can see. I can't see anything obvious in the fine print, but then again I'm blind. The change is no doubt related to the limitation in Amadeus though. Couldn't get it right the first time. Of course.

edit: I think 2nd August, 2019 is 353 days from Aug 14th, the end of the booking period.. that kind of makes sense.

Busy, busy, busy at the QF call centre this arvo. Rang up after the booking page froze in the payment screen, half way through typing the credit card number. Curiously, the non booking had still managed to climb into the ‘my bookings’ listing. CSO got the unpaid booking cancelled and told to give it another go.

Followed the instructions: latest version of chrome on a PC, enabled popups, said three hail marys, tweeted ‘Alan Joyce is a great guy’, and tried again. Exact same problem. Rang up again, got told there’s heaps of these today, finished the booking over the phone, and QF IT gets billed for my call. So they ought .

Is DSC promo synonomous with IT fail? Expecting a call centre melt down next...

Cheers skip

I find it amazing that so many people are ready to, or suckered into, make bookings so quickly. The promo goes for a few days. Are there that many sale / cheaper fares to warrant a rush?

But you are already sittin pretty? Agree though but can’t imagine any sales just popping up before the deadline.
