How long after travel can you claim points?

[suey]

Hiya, I have been meaning to sign my 6yr old daughter up for QFF program, but have been busy and a bit lazy so haven't done it yet - someone said to do it through the everyday rewards so its free?

Anyway, she will have a few points/SC's from a trip to China in July, but I was wondering is there a cut off to when I can claim those flights if she isn't actually signed up to QFF program yet?

Thanks in advance

Suey

I believe it is 30 days if you don't already have a FF Account.

I may be wrong, but my understanding wa that if she wasn't a member of the program at the time of flying she won't be able to claim the points.
The only time you can make a retro-grade points claim is if you are a member when you have flown, but for some reason your points haven't posted.

Oh bugger, I will need to make sure I sign her up before the next trip! Its over 30 days if I could claim them... Its a waste of points if I don't claim them for her really...

Thanks

They give you a window to claim ie you see the ad in the inFlight mag and register. normally you have 12 months to claim missing points.
