Qantas "Choose your reward" Promo. Select from Double Status Credits OR Double Points [book 25/3/22-1/4/22]

Mine were within 48 hours but I've definitely had it take longer - up to 2 weeks.

Thanks - at 3 weeks and nada, which is frustrating. Wonder if the fact it's a booking from a flight credit may be the cause of the delay.

My latest DSCs came through within 48 hours. @djy87 these were from a booking based part funded from a flight credit (used the whole credit and topped up for the extra SCs)

First of my 3 DSC runs starts tomorrow.

First of my 3 DSC runs starts tomorrow.

Looks like 19 July is turning out to be a big day in aviation:

• QF ends vaccination mandate for international flights!
• EK reopens SYD lounge!!
• Velocity reinstates KrisFlyer transfers?
• @Bindibuys starts status runs!!!

I did my SR to AKL this weekend. I'm impressed that the standard status credits post before you land. I got the bonus ones 24 hours after the trip finished. I'm now SG and only a week or 2 away for WP less than 2 months in my membership year.

Thanks to everyone in this thread for your input!

Did you go landside or manage to do it via transit only?

I stayed the night and had just under 24 hours there.

I will be looking for somewhere to kill from mid-night to 5am, think it was posted earlier, near gate 15??

For those who booked DSC runs....
if QF involuntarily changes the routing and you get less SC than expected - what options you have to try get them back?

My last run, QF have changed from AKL/MEL/SYD to AKL/SYD.
After completion, I will be contacting them to get original routing credited, otherwise I am down 80sc (40 x 2)

You can request Original Routing Credit, just email the [email protected] address and wait a few months

I've read some reports that requesting original routing credit can be painful so when my flights changed I insisted on flying my original routing.

 

[QF029]

From what I've read the ORC challenges were being moved on an award ticket to another airline and then getting the ORC under Points Club.

I will be in the same boat as well, trying to get credit for a SYD-MEL-AKL leg, which was converted to SYD-AKL. Should I accept the change for the booking? With my dates that seems to be the only available option. It’s a revenue booking.

Me too but I dont fly until January.

 

[Bindibuys]

My routing change is not until 4 Aug, need to get over this weeks trip first.
Next weeks is an easy SYD-AKL-SYD.
When I do have to chase the extra credits it will be a pain, as that last trip is what will put me over to Platinum. Will be sitting at gold until they credit me original routing.

oh you've jinxed it now you realise....

good luck! May the odds ever be in your favour.....

 

[Bindibuys]

Bugger, Q staff cant check me in for return flight & app says I have to check in at airport. Means I can’t transit. Will have to wait landside from 1am until staff arrive.
Just as well I completed NZ traveller pass this morning.

 

[RichardMEL]

bugger.

in the good old days of EK runs (ie same a/c return) I would check in at MEL, fly to AKL, go through transit security (there was never a check for onward BP for some reason) and head to the lounge and get the BP issued there.

of course this was not overnight (which is a different scenario) and pre-pandemic but I did that a number of times. Oh the memories of a day trip in F (bonus when those QF codeshares earned DSC....).

now you damn kids get off my lawn!

You have lawn??? Jealous- I have paddock.
