Qantas Business Rewards Double Status Credits (? Targeted)

[Princess Fiona]

Got this in my inbox this morning
3 month booking period for all travel taken up until end of December.

 

[Pushka]

Yes. Received it and registered. I think that Business travel is a risk area for Qantas. Have done a few business trips since things started improving but have also had to cancel several including one to be taken today because of sudden border restrictions in Vic.

Registered too, off the e-mail. Message was that 'face-to-face meetings are important'.

Didn't get an e-mail confirmation though, unlike the last QF DSC promo.

Nothing in my inbox either regarding confirmation of registration.

I received a similar offer, except mine is just "1,000 bonus points per flight for 3 months".

Lame - would much prefer DSCs!

Just testing. Only yesterday I made a hotel booking through Business Rewards account and when I got the DSC, I wondered if it was related.

Have those who got the DSC offer also had recent activitiy on their QBR account?

We have and last night I just transferred some points over - to me

 

[aus_flyer]

Definitely targeted. Got the point offer instead.

I received the DSC offer and the only activity on my QBR account would have been some credited flight points.

I also got that offer. Though with unused QBR flight vouchers from flights booked pre-COVID still to use I doubt I'd be taking advantage of this offer anyway.

We have around $1800 in vouchers but with expiry date deep into 2022+ I’ve made a new booking to take advantage of the offer instead. And will be doing others in the next few weeks.

Similar here.

Other than SC towards lifetime status, there isn't that much incentive really for my particular situation. I'm WP until end of Nov and having already taken a flight, that keeps me WP until Nov 2022. I have enough flights already this year that Ill hit my maximum amount of rollover SC thanks to an earlier double SC offer.

Where this could be useful though is if some of those forward bookings need to be cancelled/changed due to Covid restrictions I can rebook something else and still earn double SC potentially.

 

[Steady]

Received the DSC offer - have a bit of activity on the account

 

[Spacetravel]

Received the DSC offer, no recent QBR activity. I've actually never taken a QBR flight in my life, just setup the account when it launched for some offer at the time.

I used the recent gold challenge/ status match offer which has me gold until Jan 2023 and my review date is Jan 2022. So unless I plan on aiming for platinum this year (I don't), its pretty useless to me.

Shame though as its a really good deal. 3 month booking window!? This is pretty much unheard of for DSC.

Waiting for a DSC offer I can use post 31st Jan 2022 hopefully with long haul flights available.

Thinking about it some more, yesterday was my first QBR activity in a long, long time. So that would make me a no activityType member who got the DSC offer.

I'm really confused by this idea of a "QBR flight". Every flight you pay for yourself could be a "QBR flight". You just add your ABN to normal flight bookings. There is nothing separate about being a "QBR flight"

 

[dylarr]

Can also confirm it is targeted. One of my ABNs got the DSC offer and the other got the QFF points offer. Similar amount of activity on both.

 

[serfty]

Three abr accounts, only the one with a balance reced the 1k points offer.

Double SC are at this stage, useless.

Even the 1k not much chop as relatively awash with points after three cancelled business class award trips last year.

I guess it’s a “QBR flight” when you put the ABN in and it earns for QBR and shows up under that log-in. Otherwise, as you say, its a ‘normal’ flight unlinked to QBR.

Yeah well for me the reason is because I've had almost 0 Qantas flights since joining QBR. My first ever Qantas flight was this year and it was booked via amex travel so I didn't bother trying to work out how to add the ABN.
