JQ Anyseat points required - don't match QF estimations

[Mal]

I've been doing some Anyseat searches on QF.

For example, here's one I've looked at:

BNE-DRW (JQ81), DRW-SIN (JQ57).
As a "Super Saver/Jetstarter", it shows as 83714 points (hurry).
As a "Flexi Saver/JetMax", it shows as 105652 points (hurry).

If you select one of these, it redirects you to the JQ website.
"Super Saver" selected:
QF advises Total points* for 1 adult 83,714

Upon redirection to JQ, it then shows 79,457 points required (76,257pts if no checked baggage). If you add "Value Bundle" it then works out to be 86,263/83,063 (no checked baggage) points.


"Flexi Saver/Jetmax" selected:
QF advises Total points* for 1 adult 105,652

Upon redirection to JQ, it then ranges between 131,738pts and 134,938pts once you select a MAX package (depending on whether you want a 20kg checked bag).

As per usual - typical Qantas and Jetstar false advertising / "disowning" each other when appropriate and similar issues.

Answer - avoid Jetstar flights!

Since the changes earlier this year and as I look at every flight as a possible status earning opportunity, JQ have gone off my radar due to the extremely poor cost/status benefit ratio.
