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

[ferni]

Do people think the regional QLD bookings will work with the new T&C on refund/flight credit being available to use on multiple bookings?

Has anyone done that yet? it must create a new PNR if you use it for multiple bookings right which means this won't work?

Cancellation (including no show)
Cancel for a Flight Credit
Permitted when cancelled before Check-in closes.

• No change fee applies when redeeming your flight credit.
• Flight credits can be used to book fares lower than your original ticket price and can be used towards multiple bookings.

• You must book and travel within 12 months of the original booking date.

Does any one know that is there any DSC as I ready booked some flights for December? Thanks.

Welcome to AFF

Unfortunately, no. The Booking must be created in line with the terms of the offer.

Ohhhh. Heart broken.
Thanks for your reply.

I'm looking forward to my trip within central QLD

We are off on ours next week, from the last one but weirdly got diverted to Bali.

Can you cancel and rebook?

Ah, pity, I've booked enough already for 2025 to retain WP.

Probably getting tired of all the VA status match requests

We have requalified for April 2025 but there's always April 2026.

Double points?

 

[mviy]

Two promos in the one year! Things are finally returning to normal

 

[kangarooflyer88]

Any ideas when the next double status credit promotion will run? I heard rumours it may be in February but would be interested if there are more accurate guesses here.

Joking aside, it is a bit unusual that Qantas is running a DSC now. The last time they ran this promotion at this time of year was 2018 I believe. No doubt Virgin’s enhancement of their frequent flyer program made Qantas bring forward this promotion to capitalize on Virgin’s miscalculation. Now if only Qantas had a status match offer for Virginflyers.

I doubt QF would even look at a Status match from me as received one during covid times.

I will however cancel another VA flight I have & take this QF DSC offer to claim a 100SC that'll be carried over into 2026 as PC+ perk when my VA WP drops to Gold. To leave my options open to qualify for status with QF then.
If that makes sense.

Can't help but think this QF DSC offer is in some part for as posted upthread by @The-Aviator (VA's destruction of their program) ha.

Good timing with VA's destruction of their program. Will be looking for some good status runs!

A previous 'work around' has been to purchase gift vouchers which create a PNR and generate the DSC benefit when used in the required time frame.

Another benefit of using a gift voucher is that credit card fees aren't incurred for the booking.

This is the from the FAQ, I'm trying to work out if I purchase the voucher in the next couple of days and then use the voucher for a flight that I book early next year for some time before Oct 2025 does it meet the criteria

 

[henrus]

I wonder if this will prompt VA to run a DSC promotion.

Another benefit of using a gift voucher is that credit card fees aren't incurred for the booking.

One drawback is that some sale fares are not bookable using the gift voucher portal.

they have a tier accelerator you can request by calling them which will get you Qantas Gold after earning just 200 status credits:

Should we assume this offer won't come up in March anymore ?

No you shouldn't assume that.

Assume nothing.

I've heard from my neighbours, dogs, friends, sister, uncle that March could happen.

End of year DSC promos have happened in the past.
