Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

[Flyfrequently]

I have a day trip status run DSC booked for December. Qantas have cancelled first flight but not the return leg that afternoon.
Can I (somehow) request destination and date changes keeping same PNR?
I'm happy to pay fare difference, would I have to pay change fee?
Any advice much appreciated.

As noted in newbie thread, you can cxl to voucher and rebook. Probably easier than trying to deal with an agent

BUT the flight credits require same/higher value and harder to use online.

The flights to CNS are double the price.

Thanks @RichardMEL for the answers in both threads.

Im going to have to lodge an ORC given all the flight time changes and cancellations Qantas have been making this week to flight I booked during the DSC for Jan.

Most were minor time changes except my OOL-MEL-AKL

The morning OOL-MEL flight has been cancelled, now only 1 direct QF (not JQ) flight that day and its a afternoon flight that departs OOL 30 minutes after I was supposed to depart MEL. Was able to get OOL-SYD-AKL instead but of course that earns fewer SCs.

I think pretty every flight I have booked for 2025 has had at least 1 time change.

Anyone else get a schedule change notification for a banker booking? It gave me a little chuckle.

Thank you for your help @RichardMEL

Updated my experience today in the newbie thread.

Fortunate to get 2 great agents.

Firstly knowledgeable Ken who I felt comfortable with to facilitate the flight credit.
Then Va who re booked using said credit voucher retaining the PNR.
E-Tickets emailed within the hour despite saying it may take 24-48 hours.

Now that our Christmas Day in ADL is not happening, might do a TR for Pilot Nephew's 30th birthday bash in CNS

DSC trip registered and booked within the window.
MEL-SIN yesterday (then to USM but know they don't count) only dropped SC's.
Am thinking I need to wait as I did book at 9.30am day 1 and subsequently read best to do bookings late morning?
Have kept BP's.

Thanks @elanshin thought so!

I took my first 2 flights booked during this promo over the weekend.

The bonus SCs for flight on Friday 30th flight appeared on Sunday 1st and the bonus SCs for the flight on Sunday 1st flight appeared on Monday 2nd. So it can take a day or two to show up.

If you book too early on the opening day of the promo it can be seen on the backend as being booked the day before the promo starts. The timezone of the promo T&Cs doesn’t match the timezone of the computer systems.

I now know that @mviy - much is learned from the AFF community!
