Heads up about program changes

[Himeno]

Sorry, found it.

Other then T earning at Y rate instead of W rate, that doesn't appear to have changed.

 

[amaroo]

and I agree with Orca:
A lot of hate going on here... Don't worry Qantas - I still love you (and Red Roo!!!)

It was the same when JASA were taken offline. Pages and pages of - I'm never flying QF again

Time for QF to give status credits on classic rewards like VA.

 

[Kangol]

It's right at the bottom of the Terms & Conditions page, in the AIRLINE EARNING TABLE -- BOOKING CLASSES table.

Thanks.

It is an image for people wondering - was doing a search for text and it wasn't coming up.

Interesting wording is for "bookings created on or before 30 June 2014".
There may be a roundabout way to "extend" travel on the "same booking" (ie PNR)

Except VA don't :?:

 

[amaroo]

I suspect that, right now, QF is heartily wishing they had never introduced ASAs at classic award rates!!

How right you are! Remind me again how many other FF schemes offer this?

 

[Kangol]

Yes. If you book a MASA next week for a post 1 July travel, you will still earn, but it will be at the new rate.
If you book a MASA today, you will earn at the existing rate.
You will not be able to book a U class MASA from the 1st of July onwards.

Just to be clear, after 1 July 2014, will you be able to change an existing booking of a PUZX class ASA that was made prior to 1 July 2014?
This would be potentially important for some...

How do you know what countries/cities fall into the new regions?
and How do you know if a flight is short/med/long for domestic? Is there a mileage base that determines which category it falls under?

For example someone mentioned Adelaide is considered South East Australia.
Is China SE Asia or NE Asia?

Here's the link to the regions.

I'm thinking not, otherwise that's exactly what people will do

How could they stop you if the fare conditions permit? As long as it isn't re ticketed the booking date is the same...

Even if it is re-ticketed, the booking date (ie date of PNR creation) will stay the same... right?

Sometimes I feel bad that I largely abandoned Qantas for Virgin a couple of years ago.

Sometimes I feel that maybe Alan Joyce is misunderstood

But the vibe I get from Virgin is that they want my business. I never got that love from QF, so I left.

I got the email. Read it, watched the failout in the media and on sites like this today, and I don't feel so bad anymore

That text has changed since last night/this morning. I guess many here are proof reading ...

So much whining on this thread, it breaks my heart... How many times before people threatened to ditch QF and how many really end up doing it? Their planes should have all been empty by now... See you all on the next QF flight

 

[amaroo]

It's a slap in the face to mention that MASA was a shortcut to status but they continually throw DSC offers around

When do we think the next DSC offer will start popping up in the in-box? I'm thinking around Easter or the first half of July.

They're half empty now, that's apparently the problem.

I think you missed the point, we may be flying QF, but where are we crediting to?

After all, there are not many OW options MEL/SYD

Now there's an idea for VA

Not on the domestic routes I'm on every week.

Doh ... I stand corrected ... I have just unknowingly been lucky with booking my classic VA reward flights during a promotion.
