Hey Mille - that's the way I see it right now...

...doesn't make sense...

Their logice must be lets upset our most frequent flyers :!: Actually it is getting to ridiculous/funny now how QF treat top tier members
 
Wierd!

QF133 on 12 April shows on E/F as: J9 C9 D9 I6 U3 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 G0 X9 E0

This is what an NB account sees:

Why no Super Saver, Flexi or business fares showing when red e-deal is available?

Anyway, here's what a WP sees:

 
78,000 points for you and 22,388 for me... Something is up for sure...:lol:

But you know what's wrong with your picture. All the no seats! ASA should be showing for all of those fare groups. I can't believe that all those seats sold out overnight
:confused:
 
Alright, well its about time i start profiting off this.

Do you need a JASA at the old cheap prices?
Do you want to fly business class for classic award levels and get points and SC's but are too loyal to Qantas to get them cheap?
Do you suddenly need a QFF NB in your life?


Well look no further!!

Send your points to me and i'll book them at no extra cost*!!

Act now!!



*Will cost you 10,000 extra points for me to do it
 
Seems like this isn't the sky-is-falling scenario we initially thought it was. Seems unintentional that these flights would cost more for higher tier members. If their dev/ops guys are anything like in my company such an mistake is quite easily made (although you'd hope they'd have some decent test coverage for their software).
 
I'm Silver and just looked at the same date (Syd-Mel JASA 21/9) and I'm also getting 22388 points required.
Cheers

Well hopefully this is just a bug in the system that gets fixed soon, I'll be hitting silver after my flight tonight and was trying to get up to WP by the end of September too

Sounds like Silver and above sees more fares because of the new "enhanced", Silver inclusive, preferential award seat availability, that kicked in for the 4th.

Bronze can see less of every fare, so the rest of us are getting preferential availability, but the problem is that they're getting the cheap buckets and we're not...
 
The temporary solution today is to book your JASA flights off a relatives account who has bugger all status but has enough points.
One in my family is BRONZE so i can use his account for any 44k coast to coast trips seeing he has a big heap of points.
QF IT will fix this but this solution is if you cannot wait.
In between time we have to use our fiendish minds to avoid squandering a chunk of our points that we squirrel away.
Say no to 220k "hurry" bookings is where I am coming from today.

Hi Guys,

I went to QF's Facebook page and mentioned this is status related...this is the reply I got:

"I have just heard back from our FF team and there is a glitch and it's being fixed as we speak. Thanks so much for pointing it out! If you want to book anything in the meantime you can give the FF customer care team a call on 13 11 31 :)"

I've also spoken to the QF Premium desk and gave her about 5 examples and she has taken screen shots and is also speak to IT...

Hopefully it will be fixed soon,
 
Good thinking GoldenWinger!
There I am thinking Facebook is cough and you have found a purpose for it.
 
I looked at a J award for Syd-Bne on the same day,21/9 and for all flights on that day I am seeing 22483 points required apart from flight 516 which is showing 85290 required.
Cheers

So it looks like Silver status works...

I'm Plat - still no joy...

Also Gold status - same thing...

Any Chairman's Lounge out there?? can you test it?
 
I'm Silver and still seeing 85k for that Syd-Bne JASAs on the 21/9/11...

Don't have access to another FF account (other than my mum's but she's in Sydney). I've even tried in different web browsers!
