Platinum Newsletter

Very interesting t&C about one booking per member and the right to claw back if someone makes two.

I wonder if the IT can even detect whether a Platinum member is on the booking, given the link to book is publicly accessible.

Maybe they'll audit them all afterwards.

Isn't it travel "from" 1 Feb

Oops, thanks

First Platinum Newsletter in a while - here are the highlights:

• 15% of QFi J/F (sneaky fine print addition - I class only 10% off), 10% off QFi Y/W, 20% off QFd. Book by 20 Dec, travel from 1 Feb. One use per member, member must travel (Link)

I saw that and thought "bugger, could have gotten a discount on what I booked last week", then saw that it only applies to flights after Feb 1, so my booking wouldn't be covered.

Take up to 15% off when you book a return international Qantas flight from Australia in First and Business

I remember "15% off one international Business class fare (T&Cs apply)" being a benefit for ... something... maybe the Qantas Premier Platinum Mastercard, or being Platinum? You had to phone the call centre to take advantage of it and it was available only once a year. This seems like a similar offer.

The Qantas Titanium Mastercard offers 10% off a return Qantas flight in any class twice a year. However, that discount is only off the base fare whereas I assume this discount is off the full fare.

QF/Accor Paris competition - J return flights for two + 5 nights at Sofitel Paris Baltimore Tour Eiffel. Enter by 18 Dec.

I reckon that's better than the P1 comp from the most recent newsletter which is return trip to Seoul and 5 nights

Though much harder to win given difference in member numbers at each tier.

Thanks for the heads up! I haven't received it yet...

Too bad the WP 10% off Y fares is *from* 01FEB24. Got a booking to make now, for travel late next week and paying out of pocket, so could have used the 10% discount ... Chrissy time, so all fares expensive, the 10% could of offset some $

And game of skill rather than chance this time. (Tell us in 25 words or less what would be your first stop in Paris, and why).

There are different tax and licensing requirements for games of skill vs games of chance.
maybe it's cheaper for them to run it this way then as a random draw.

So I did a dummy F booking

From $19K down to only $16K and you should be bloody grateful!

I guess gifting this this prize package, and gaining insight on what aspects of Paris appeals to flyers, would cost Qantas less than engaging a marketing agency to deliver route launch campaign ideas. (it's hard to imagine Qantas is doing something nice "just because" - there's always an ulterior motive!)
