Thought I'd just do a check of my voucher holdings this morning as previously have had issues with GV not attaching to my profile and got a few more this DSC. Sure enough, turns out I have an additional 4 that I had forgotten buying from previous DSC promos that I only discovered because I found the PNRs I'd written in my notebook - they have never appeared in My Bookings.😳

Is it actually possible to get the vouchers showing up in My Bookings? I have flight credits there, but not vouchers.

They don’t
Unless you keep track like a screenshot of the PNR in the email inbox and as I used them edited the screenshot to delete the, from the list of those yet to be used

Yes you are right on there. Cancelled flights SHOW UP AS FLIGHT CREDITS. GVs don’t appear at all.

However when you go to redeem the flight credits it takes you into the same system which is used to book the gift vouchers.....
 
I have quite a few double yolkers and a one (BCI-LRE) voucher. Apparently reason they don't show in app is they registered initially in my name, whereas my profile includes a my middle initial. QFF told me they would show up if I got the name changed. Not fussed as I have the PNRs . Really have to keep track though, esp when merging a few for a trip.
 
It's not the name per se. Vouchers do not have QFF# attached when created (while credit vouchers associated with "real" bookings obviously do). All one needs do is add QFF# to the booking. Easier said than done without phoning QFF (I tried via the AY site some time back but no go due to the implementaito I think as they are half formed bookings with bonus city pairs inserted if one bothers to look at a raw voucher PNR with checkmytrip and so on).

Also because vouchers can be redeemed under any name there's no point putting the buyer's QFF# in there because vouchers, as intended, are for gifts to other people, not ourselves (though this is obviously a perfectly fine use of them) thus the FF# is not filled on purpose.

(indeed the new voucher booking interface omits inputting the QFF# of the buyer - it used to be there back in the days of 10points/$ chrissy voucher bonuses, but they stopped a few years back)

I just hold a a spreadsheet that maintain with references, values and dates that I update when I buy any. Simples.

The QFF# is the "key" (as we IT database nerds say) to showing in my bookings since you login to your QFF#. Any booking without an associated QFF# entered thus won't show.

Once of course a voucher is converted to a booking with a QFF# attached (or any FF# of course) then they will display accordingly.

We now return you to your anxious wait for DSC postings :)
 
Still a “No”, until someone posts, otherwise.
 
DSC posting finally came through for flights taken on 03/03/20 , although in the narrative appears as a “ Personalised offer”. :)

DSCs just posted for flights taken on 28 February. On the other hand, no DSCs OR regular SCs yet posted for flights on 8 and 10 March.
 
Travelled on 9 Mar posted overnight. For those that are interested and someone will eventually ask, this flight was made using the alternate booking method that is always asked about. The actual flight was booked (redeemed) on 2 Mar, travelled 9 Mar and DSC posted on 12 Mar.

I had to take the flight and did not need the DSC's however I chose to use this method to see if anything has changed and to satisfy my curiosity. I will start using this method for flights post Aug.

I will not post further detail on this subject.
