Boo hiss

Well that’s not great.

 

[AIRwin]

Not quite the same:
OPENTABLE Book hundreds of restaurants around Australia with OpenTable.

 

[MEL_Traveller]

Translation... 'we're not able to make enough money out of this so we're withdrawing the benefit'.

 

[Isochronous]

Lame. At least Velocity still has a restaurants programme.

I only got a few thousand points out of this so not a big deal. But when I glanced at the email I thought it was merely reducing the P1 double points benefit. Now I see it's completely abandoned.

Boo hiss

Agree. I am annoyed, I collected quite a good bunch of points. The notification email has just landed, saying Rockpool group restaurants still give points.

I'll bet there are a few unhappy EAs tonight.

With a grand total of 4 eligible restaurants in Canberra!

Suspect they'll just use Dimmi for the vouchers
($20 for every 10 bookings)

 

[opusman]

More trouble than it was worth anyway.

 

[Major]

Hit and miss anyway. 2 bookings this year with no points and no way to claim missing points

 

[cmon0005]

I will miss this, I have made thousands of points from this over time. Shame.

 

[GSP]

Said on another thread. Not good, won't use Dimmi going forward due to the cough redemption process. Oh well.

Having never dined at an NP restaurant, and never likely to either, it seems I have earned my last restaurant points with QF. Unless a bigger, better deal is around the corner

I hear ya. I won’t either. I wonder if this is some deal with Rockpool to try and entice customers back in after the bad press from their shonky pay practices.

Or maybe more like, Dimmi needed Qantas for promotion back at the beginning; but now that everyone knows Dimmi, every restaurant (well, not every but you get my point) is using Dimmi, and Dimmi got bought out by Trip Advisor, they don't need to pay Qantas for promotions anymore.

 

[serfty]

I used dimmi before Qantas.

Trouble was when i did accumulate enough Dimmi points for a redemption, tne options were limited. Venues and menus.

With Qantas theres a few hundred points each time.

its a shame. liked building points with this. Love going to Sake, so with paying with a Qantas linked CC used to get points 3 ways!
