New new new DSC offer [only until Nov 2 - Specific Routes/Class/Dates]

[Jean Prouvaire]

I have an existing domestic booking (red e-deal fare) which I need to cancel as my plans have changed. If I transform this fare into a voucher and then use the voucher as part-payment for one of the routes eligible for the double status offer, will I still get the double status credits?

Just to be clear: The existing booking which I want to cancel was made before the DSC deal was announced and is for a domestic journey. The value of the resultant voucher would be about 1/3 of the cost of the DSC eligible international fare.

No. The voucher retains the original booking date and is ineligible.

I don't disagree with you and I am always flamed on these threads for having a different opinion to the pack.

In my opinion double SCs offers should be there as a reward for regular flying. I was going to say loyal but then people question the definition of loyalty....

In my opinion they should be there as a reward, err consolation, for regular long distance Y travel =)

Finally, a DSC offer (although I did get the HKG one to celebrate the start of A380 services a while back). I might be able to take advantage with a MEL-HKG JASA hopefully!

If I book MEL-SYD-HKG to get on QF127 would I get DSC on the MEL-SYD leg too?

 

[Must...Fly!]

No dice here but I don't care for obvious reasons...

 

[JohnM]

Also got this one today.

I am being bombarded, it seems, by QF DSC offers. Why the sudden love, I wonder .

Momentarily gagged on the SYD-SCL in May next year as only last week booked a JASA on that route to get to S America for a Galapagos cruise in May. But then saw DSC offer is only whY and whY+ - pffft, they can stick it .

Hopefully they'll drop a fairly large international sale in the next few days which will entice travellers!

Got the offer yesterday, and it has come at the perfect time.

I was going to book LAX-SYD-LAX in Y+ this weekend, both sectors within the time frame for the promo...

After reading the T&C multiple times, I can only assume these flights will be eligible, regardless of
them originating in the U.S.

I much prefer to pay $2800 return in Y+ pretty much year round, compared to the $5000 fare being
offered most of the time ex SYD

No. The voucher retains the original booking date and is ineligible.

Bummer. Thanks for the response though.

 

[Katie]

I got the offer. Little Miss did not. No idea if Mr Katie got it (DSC offers not the highest of our phone call topics right now )

 

[Limewood]

DSC offer cities selective, different classes, no favours really, just to put bums on seats to suit, no thanks QA, you can do better than that.

 

[Awesom Andy]

Received it here too, although I can't see how I can make use of it. Only 160SC to go before reaching WP anyhow, so I don't exactly have a need for the promotion.

 

[Edge]

it would be interesting to see the redemption rate of this offer, then how many people ACTUALLY make a booking. you'd think of everyone, AFFers would be most likely to take it up, but looking at most responses on here it looks minimal.

 

[Ric]

Booked a YASA HKG-SYD for Jan 2013 and a JASA SYD-MNL Mar 2013.
Just that the dates suited me....

 

[bjaust]

Got it as well. It's the first one I've received. I made it to WP a few weeks ago based on BIS only.

It's a little disappointing that the time period for booking is so short. I have a flight to London to book that would qualify, but trying to book it so quickly is a bit tough. But it will all but guarantee me WP again next year so worth pushing a bit.

 

[smarty11]

I have a travel plan coming up for Sydney to Amsterdam and return in Jan'13 end..

Just wondering would the SYD-LHR and return leg qualify for the DSC? even if the tickets are done for SYD-Amsterdam return?

Thanks

Booked my Y+ LAX-SYD-LAX a few weeks earlier than I was intending to.

The lure of 180 extra SC's and a fare of $2,800 was just too good to pass up

 

[Awesom Andy]

Just got invited to a wedding in March. Guess I'll be taking advantage of the offer by default.

And so it came to pass.
