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

Trying to think out of the box, what if you were to use the flight credit first for the cheapest flight you can find (accepting the loss of its value), I think this cheap flight would get the current PNR, and I think (someone to confirm) the new flight you would book with the remaining of the flight credit will get a new PNR.

Oooh that’s interesting!

Originally I was curious about a previous post from this thread:

Cancelled first day of promotional period as I needed to change the date. I cancelled for a credit and rebooked the same day hoping I would get DSC. However, I then realised that the new flight wouldn't qualify given it departed on 30th October. But it did qualify.

Where someone who had booked a flight prior to the DSC cancelled and rebooked via FC and got the DSC. Wasn’t sure if we had many other data points to confirm this is a thing though.

This make me think, do status chasing ff member forced to use corporate TA make some dummy dsc booking that they later use when a work trip eventuate?

Yes they do.

Yes they do.

Some corporate TAs have weird and wonderful ways/processes of cancelling and rebooking. One must be alert!

For agency issued tickets you cannot do this unless you fly that cheap flight first, before you rebook with the remaining credit for a new flight.
