Qantas partnership with BP

I'd like to walk back my comment on getting a litre or two of fuel being the walk of shame as clearly what I did today was more so - I went and grabbed a 2L bottle of milk for my first transaction and the guy was visibly confused at what I was up to. Clearly not many people swing by BP just for a bottle of milk (and at their prices I do understand why). Next time I'll put in a litre of $1.70 diesel (as much as that hurts, but admittedly would have been less of a loss than I just suffered buying milk if you don't count the QFF points that I am hoping I got) and see if it's a less awkward experience.

A veer off the runway 16Romeo onto Taxiway Golf4, (OT)
But that purchase of milk does help reduce their stock levels and thus, increase margins and thus profits.
I am sure that stuff like convenience food that they don't/can't sell, is either tossed or donated to charity, so they do make a a bit of a loss.
Apart from pump and run or theft of convenience items that is.
"Hi, I just bought this to get my bpme bonus, thanks"...
I used to go to my local OTR when they had VFF points earn on that VGW card, and always told them "no fuel, thanks".

You're right, and that's exactly what I did say to the guy (there's a promo for QFF points, can you make sure my card scanned - lucky I asked that because he told me it hadn't and so I did it again) and got an inquisitive stare back so I guess it's just a lack of understanding of the way promos work on their part. I've always had this, each and every time I've gone to this particular BP for QFF promos - got the same stare when I went during the 50SC/$50 promo to change BBQ gas bottles over twice, I guess they just can't work out why I don't just go to Coles/Bunnings for cheaper like others do if I'm not buying fuel at the same time, although the last promo was around the time of restrictions / curfews etc in Victoria so it may have actually legitimately seemed strange that I was throwing so many barbeques, but hey - as you rightfully point out, why do they care? It's money for them. I guess they think I'm odd and I think they're odder 😂

Heh, QF and their partners sure know how to part us from our money.
So many ways to earn QFF points without flying these days, granted some don't like it this way.

You may have to put 2 in. Pumps around where I live tend to have a 2 litre minimum delivery!

Well I did my first fill yesterday and received ... 58 points. Not sure when the bonuses arrive.

According to the Ts&Cs: Bonus Qantas Points will be awarded to the Qantas Frequent Flyer account 6 to 8 weeks after the completion of the Promotion Period. Qantas Frequent Flyer and BP Rewards terms and conditions apply.
 
More Ts&Cs: Targeted Members will earn bonus points when they a) activate the offer via this email or in ‘My Account’, b) make an eligible purchase at a participating bp within the campaign period and c) scan their Qantas Frequent Flyer card at the counter before completing their transaction. To be eligible for bonus points, the Member must complete all of the actions specified above during the stated Promotion Period.

Question: I usually scan the BP Rewards card (earning Qantas points) in the BPMe app which has worked for other promotions - presume this will still satisfy requirement c) above? Tks!

EDIT: redundant question. Further down the Ts&Cs: You must present and scan your BP Rewards or Qantas Frequent Flyer card or digital card at the time of purchase.

Found the bonus 2000 points in my account tonight...
 
I wasn't quite sure why I got 1000 points credited to my account but when googling found the below. No way I'm going to buy 1000 litres a month but a free 10K is fine by me. I believe you'll need an ABN (which fortunately I have).

What's really confusing is that this offer popped up twice in my Inbox.

The first one expires 22 Feb and the other expires 1 March.

I really, really hope they are 2 separate offers !

I received two emails too but, as I said, I just deleted them.

Looks like the IT intern did the 1st one with the incorrect date! Couldn’t register with the 1st but the 2nd worked…
