Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

[CaptJCool]

Just booked flights today over the phone using old credits. I was advised that flight credits now qualify for DSC.

Apparently it's a new feature with the changes made to the use of credits. She advised that these credits might take longer to post but they do have a process to manage it. She wasn't convinced about the process working as planned. She did advise to take note of the booking ref etc post flight for potential follow up.

Would this slow crediting also apply to “old Gift vouchers?”

I found one unused one from October 2023 by accident just now…

Struggling to find any good runs ex-AKL. Has anyone managed to find anything good for this DSC deal yet?

Just booked a cheeky long weekend in Auckland.
PER-AKL for $2.2k, 640 SCs.
$3.4 per SC.
Pretty happy with that!

Just to confirm with you that bookings through Amex travel like what you showed would also be eligible for DSC?

No problems basically any way you book. Amex is a travel agent.

You can use any points currency. QF flights booked as BA, AA, AS etc. awards are all fine if your QFF number is in the PNR.

As it seems many people are talking about this (this one never was in or has escaped Fight Club), I can confirm that I've gotten many successful DSCs awarded on QF reward flights booked with BA/AA miles.

Edit: clarified to say flights on QF metal.

BNE-MEL-SYD-DPS will get you extra SC's over BNE-MEL-DPS

It will but this trip is for our mini-moon. Not sure the missus would be happy with us taking more than one layover before we reach our destination haha

It's a test of a true relationship: could your partner put up your travel nonsense?

Referring to it as “nonsense” is surely the first warning sign

So, I actually just booked a flight on Friday 25th not even knowing about this offer (no email, nothing in the App). Today I opened the app and saw it and registered for DSC.

Will the trip I booked Friday count for the DSC given it's within the booking period, but before I selected any reward?

Afraid not. Need to register first before booking. If you’re within the 24hr period, you might be able to cancel for free and rebook?

Damn

Can't free cancel as the flight is less than 30 days away.

She's already have in the past hahaha

 

[MG1]

Yes. These flights are treated the same as other QantasLink flights, they are operated by Qantas under a wet lease from Alliance. They count.

Thank you @justinbrett.

 

[Dieselcanberrra]

Why not book just a domestic one way flight?

Could I PM you with a query on this please

 

[MG1]

No problems basically any way you book. Amex is a travel agent.

This is great to know, thank you. DSC via Amex.
One question: does this become difficult if the flight needs to be cancelled as you're not dealing directly with QF?

Post automatically merged: Oct 26, 2024

Can you cancel and rebook?

I would also like to know this - I've got an existing J multi-flight trip next year. If I cancel and re-book within the booking period, I assume that I'll get the DSCs.

 

[MG1]

Yes the first batch of DSC will take a painfully long time to post to your account. No need to complain about it until eight weeks after you complete travel.

This is good to know (as this is my first time booking during QF DSC sale). So expect to wait 8 weeks from the date of the flight? Is that the max time or the usual time?
What happens if your membership year crosses over during this eight-week period?

 

[MG1]

I'm assuming that credits earnt as DSCs count towards your lifetime status, but not towards your loyalty bonuses; is that correct?
