Earn bonus points on Gift Vouchers - new and improved for Xmas.

I estimate at least last week of January, but have a sticky note with the voucher refs on my desk, and the amounts I should receive, so all I need to do is wait for them to credit in their own time and cross them out.

As for redeeming, redeemed all 3 completely, and the last one started yesterday with the sale, but wasn't impressed by the amount of time it took to send me a new voucher with the reaming amount. I ended up booking BNE-CNS-WEI-CNS-HID-CNS-HTI, and because multi-city was excluded, had to book separately or return flights, and gradually, seats started to get less and my voucher still hadn't landed back in my inbox. Was very frustrating, especially as they wouldn't hold seats for me over the phone either.

Ended up securing all my seats, but only using part of the voucher, as I couldn't afford to wait and possibly miss the sale (and see the price more than double).
 
1 out of 4 credited, but then it was the only one I bought initially. Thus I expect they'll filter through in the order I bought them :)
 
Yep my balance is looking better. But my key (KPI) is the earn in the last 12 months on the account page. I might try to crack 500000 now.

I purr-chased all of mine consecutively on the last possible day. Bonus Points from 2 actual vouchers yet to credit.

I'm sure there are many others that could beat me in that one though. :mrgreen:

20 vouchers posted... still waiting for 4 more. I purchased them over progressively over the 2-3 weeks, so I can't see that there's any reason/logic behind the timing of the points posting.
 
Ahh well then it looks like I could have issues if everyone else is receiving them all at once, but I'll give it a week or so, I have the original voucher PNR's noted, so hopefully no dramas.
 
The points for 1 of the 2 vouchers that I purchased (on different days) posted today.

As an aside, I have used one of my vouchers in early Janaury and I am still waiting for Qantas to send me a new voucher for the unused value remaining on the original voucher. I have called them previously and they said it is in a 'special queue' to be proceessed but it has been well over a week since my last call with them. Time for another call I think....
 
All my points have gone through

About now I always regretting now having purchased enough vouchers though

Definitely time for another call. I call if I don't get it within 48 hours. Then sometimes it takes another 2 days to come through, but I wouldn't wait that long for it. Some of mine come through automatically within <12 hours. Some don't. That's when I call.
 
Yahoo mine all posted today the ones I bought when the promotion and the ones I purchased on the last day of the promotion.
