I heard about these fares this morning, and I'm kicking myself a little now having already booked PER-xSYD-NRT on a YASA points plus pay.
I could have held that cash back, bought a red-e + one of the JQ *class fares, and made almost four times the status credits, all for an extra outlay of about ~AUD600-700. Sigh.
