Is anyone seeing >72 hours for DSC to post? I had a couple of QantasLink / National Jet flights on Thursday I’m still waiting on.

The intern has to have a couple of days off sometime!

I’m up to five weeks for two flights.

But these were PC+ CRs for which the base SCs did not post automatically.

It seemed almost inevitable I’d have to wait the eight weeks and follow up.

I feel your pain, waiting for some QBR points for some hotel stays to post so as I can delete them off my spreadsheet - I rang them at five weeks trying to get them posted but got told nope - ring back if they haven't posted after week 9... The points for the same stays posted after four weeks to my personal account, so I find the nine week thing to be ridiculous - its not like they are going to earn interest on the points in the meantime.

You, sir, are next level organised.

Posted overnight. Work experience kid working overtime, it seems.

Flights:
16/01-17/01 - posted Monday midnight (both days at once)
19/01-20/01 - posted the next day, respectively (20/01-21/01)

Perhaps it is an intern that works during the weekday to process these DSC

I have 1 more set of flights Thursday/Friday again, will be interesting to see if it will process within 24 hours of each flight or later.

Hoping someone can confirm this is possible for me. I currently have a DSC international CR booking for me and another. Can I split the booking, keeping the same PNR for myself, so I can add a couple of domestic flights to the same booking and get DSC on them?

You can split passengers to separate bookings, but make sure you split the other passenger off so they get the new PNR and you retain the one with DSC.

No guarantee, but from memory my split carried DSC to both.

Flights:
30/01-31/01 - posted Sunday night (both days at once)

Pushed me across to P1 for 2026; no welcome email or anything like that yet, but it will be interesting to see in the upcoming weeks' flights (non-DSC) if I get bulkhead/row 4 seats.

 

[Blacksheep]

Flew on the 25th & 26th. Posted on the 28th, probably having a day off for Australia Day

Funny enough, my JAL domestic flight which was on the 18th got posted on the 28th as well.

Any rumours for this year's DSC?

Hi all

My question relates to the issue of changing or cancelling a DSC booking and maintaining the original PNR. It’s a follow-up to the fabulous information @Ade provided at post 1119 of the earlier DSC promo thread.

It’s about cancelling a Classic Rewards DSC flight booked as a PC member, and whether we would keep our PNR and still receive DSCs if we rebooked a replacement reward flight (within the promo period).

Background is that we booked a CR journey CBR-MEL-SYD-CHC in J. Total travel time was 9 hours. A few days ago our CBR-MEL flight was pushed back 45 minutes, and I felt this change made us certain to breach MCT at either MEL or SYD. I told the premium operator that I thought domestic MCT at MEL was 40 minutes, but she assured me it was 30, and booked accordingly.

Then we got a call about the MCT (40 minutes) and had to change again. Given the lack of options CBR-MEL, our trip is now CBR-ADL-SYD-CHC, and a total travel time of 13 hours. I like a status run and some time in lounges, but this is too long a day for me.

If (and I know it might be a big if) I was able to find suitable replacement flights at CR rates, do people think I could cancel or change the existing booking and maintain the PNR and double SCs? And should that be doable online, or would I have to call QF?

Losing a few thousand points on a change or cancellation fee would not be a problem.

Cheers,
Horatio

Anecdotally, if you retain the PNR that was created during the promotion booking period, eligible flights flown under that PNR during the promotional "Flying" period will credit as Double.

I don't believe cancelling a CR will help with that as generally points and $$$ get refunded (less fees) with the PNR going where PNR's go to die.

Your best option with a CR PNR would be to call and try to have the flights changed while retaining the original PNR. (Good luck however, in finding a Qantas agent competent enough and happy enough to do so though.)

You can definitely change the itinerary and keep your existing PNR and therefore double status credits. You shouldn't be charged a change fee due to the schedule changes. What's the new trip going to be?

Do not use the word "cancel" as they will just cancel the PNR and create a new one.

Use plain English. You booked this during DSCs and you need to retain the PNR so you still receive DSCs. It's not a hack, it's in the T&Cs that you can make changes as long as the new flights are still in the promo period.
