I can't see it working. The source is still QBR, regardless of which QBR account.

Has anyone noticed that the Classic Flights Reward Table for PC & PC+ has been "enhanced" ?

Ultra-long international flights (6,501 miles and over) in X used to be 52 SCs. It now seems to be 30 SC.

Is there any ultra-long haul international flight that isn't already covered by the more specific table further up the page?

Wayback Machine suggests no change since Mar 23 last year -:

Wayback suggests 6,501mi+ in X has been 30 SC since at least Oct 2020 (and Points Club was launched in Mar 2020, so it's likely this was the case from the beginning) so I doubt there's any change here.

You may have received 52 SC for an ultra-long haul flight in X to the Europe or USA though, and this is still the case:

AKL-JFK isn't covered (and I'd be pretty bitter if I only got 30 SC for 8,828mi!)

Interesting. Does make for a quirky discrepancy between joining QF3 in SYD or AKL.

'Other' would surely apply. Unfortunately.

'Other' would surely apply. Unfortunately.

It would at the moment, but I reckon it's just an oversight and they'll add 'Between New Zealand and... East Coast USA' soon enough.

The LHR-SIN fifth freedom is covered by 'Between Europe and... Southeast Asia'.

Hopefully someone from Qantas is trawling and passes this feedback on lol.

The distance based table i feel is misleading with its examples as qantas marketed reward flights simply are never available between the given destinations - invariably you'll see the carrier's flight on the ticket, not any code share

I think it's just the catch-all table in case Qantas launch new routes and don't update the other tables - AKL-JFK is a good example.

There are some instances where you can snag a QF marketed award flight operated by another carrier - I believe FJ is the common one, but have read LATAM operated QF marketed awards have also been a thing previously (though the AKL-SCL table entry would apply in this case)

Finally getting around to requesting my missing 100 rollover SC (it's only been 5 months since my new membership year started ). Will be interesting to see how long it takes to resolve?

T+3 days and the first update has arrived...

Thanks all ! Email sent. Fingers and toes crossed.

SC now received. Interestingly, they credited me with 112 SC for the outbound flight, rather than 52 SC I originally got for the inbound flight.

I'm almost afraid to ask why, in case they take some SC away from me !

-----------------

Hope you get yours soon, DejaBrew.

They've credited you the Business rate These sorts of errors are the upside to poorly trained call centres...

Looks like the newest Marketplace promo is starting 3 days early for PC and PC+ members. 25% off most products when paying with points (only), or 5,000 bonus points for a $250+ cash spend. On from today for PC and PC+, starts from Monday 4 March for everyone else.

Feels like those kind of promo are happening often now. I hope this can be used for some of the green tier challenge

T+4 days and...

Although I haven't received a formal confirmation via email to this effect, I have just noticed that my missing 100 rollover SC were credited to my FF account as of today.

So, setting aside for one moment that I shouldn't have had to chase this up in the first instance... credit where it's due - I have to admit that this was sorted out much faster - and more painlessly - than I was anticipating (based on some of the horror stories from other AFF members).

 

[elanshin]

how long has it taken people to get their vouchers on requalification?

Also seems i have my rollover SC instantly.
