Buying a gift voucher has triggered for me in the past but needs minimum spend of $50.Are there any replacement options for spending a minimal amount with Qantas to trigger lounge passes? The carbon offsets was my go-to, but that web site has been down since ~16 Nov 2020, so I'd welcome any suggestions of suitable replacements.

Interesting. I'd happier with a $50 gift voucher for my own use than booking & cancelling a reward flight. But can you use gift vouchers to pay for the taxes and surcharges when redeeming classic rewards flights? Or do gift cards have to be used in a different portal? And can you stack multiple gift cards? Basically if they can be used a general credit everywhere (such as for rewards flights) and can be stacked, then I could be reasonably sure I'd use that gift voucher within the 3 years it's valid for. If not, or if it comes with lots of limitations & restrictions, then might be a pain to use.
Does purchasing a seat selection (paying $10 or $30) also count towards the complimentary QF lounge passes (from the AMEX card)?
I did this earlier this month and it worked fine - $10 ($5 each for two) appeared on my Qantas Amex Ultimate as "QANTAS AIR AUSTRALIA" and triggered the lounge passes, which appeared in my Qantas account the next working day (which was a few days later after a long weekend).Does purchasing a seat selection (paying $10 or $30) also count towards the complimentary QF lounge passes (from the AMEX card)?
Great, thanks, I'll give it a go.
Your price is interesting though - was there a sale on at the time? I'm being quoted $10 for a standard seat and $30 for one in the exit row.
All well, Qantas Air Australia on the statement and passes triggered.Great idea. I think it would, if you do give it a go please let us know how the transaction appears on your statement and whether your passes came through.
