I am afraid that is not possible.

I am pretty sure you can also use them flying Jetstar.

You're correct: QF or JQ is eligible.

Hi Coops
could you please tell me where you get Woolies gift cards online for 5% off? The only place I've seen them is RACQ but I'm in NSW and not an RACQ member. Thanks

My current employer give all staffs discounts via Asperity Employee Benefits, and my last employer does the same via API Lifestyle. All sell Coles & Woolworths give cards at 5% off face value.

Thanks any other ideas where else the general public can get them?

I think they can be used through the Entertainment book. I think they have both Coles and Woolworths.

 

[Mattyana2003]

I've looked at entertainment book, you have to buy them don't you?

Hi yes you have to buy the books. I paid $65 for mine through a friend at work who belongs to school group that was selling them. I don't think you can just buy them other than through a charity or group

Tried to use the card on Telstra bill but only get 1:1 points! Phone up the CS agent and she checked with the supervisor and told me that this should be earning 5x under the promo. Got the statement but it is still 1x, call up again to chase for the points. Got a reply last week stating that Telephone bills are NOT under the 5x promo. Now escalating the issue with the CS department. Will keep you updated.

You should not expect anything there.

Been there, Done that!

Phones are not considered an utilities by Macquarie.

I was told by Head Office, not CS rep or supervisor.

Granted that their CSAs were next to hopeless, perpetuating the anxiety and giving out false info (no QC pass or no QF bonus points, for example).

But phones is not on the 5:1 bonus list.

International. My postie is my laziness (probably arrived on Thursday haha).
Sent via standard post - could easily have been lost in the post.

Received my Qantas club passes....how do you know if international?
They are white and say Qantas Club...think the back says something about international....anyone?
The Macquarie info says they can be used.

I received my 2 complimentary cards today. On the back it says: "This invitation is valid for a single visit to the The Qantas Club or Qantas operated International Business Lounges"

 

[qwsoftware]

Got mine passes today - yes they are international (white -they use to be a tan colour but have been white for the last year) so finally all is good with this card after the problems with the Internet banking/ previous jetstar card.

Any WHIMS on moving the cards...not sure if going QANTAS b4 2014.

First statement - incorrect QFF points - did not do multiple of 5 for two of my bills - first being Queensland Urban Utilities (Water bill) and Second being Origin QLD LPG. Have rang and escalated it. Just pass the 5 week mark and no lounge passes as yet - will re-assess at 60 day mark.
