Qantas points/SCs no longer included with JQ Plus Bundles?

[Mattg]

I was about to make a Jetstar booking just now when I noticed that Qantas points and status credits were not listed as an inclusion with a plus bundle. Nor are they included with a Max Bundle. The food & beverage voucher is also missing.

I thought that perhaps it is a glitch, so I looked at another route. No mention of QF points/status credits there either. There was also no option on the next page, where you usually enter your QFF number and choose the Qantas points or JQ voucher.

I contacted Jetstar and they said that they weren't sure themselves and would escalate the issue.

At least Qantas points are still mentioned as a Plus Bundle benefit under "View Plus Bundle rules".

Here's hoping this is just a glitch.

You will find this has occurred previously (from memory it was on the SIN-KUL route and vv.)

Fairly sure that it was a glitch

I'd also say glitch as even the max bundle is missing the points / SC.

I certainly hope so! I hope this is rectified quickly.

Do you think I would run into any problems if I booked now? I note that I don't even have an option to choose to earn Qantas points on the next page.

I'm guessing that the interns had the job of adding BL to the points/status accruals, effective a couple of days ago. Not sure how it would work though, as the second page where we elect the choices would default to vouchers instead of points/status by default.

If this was actually true. It's a good thing. It would remove any need to buy an overpriced bundle.

This is pretty unacceptable, fix it please Jetstar. I may actually need to book a JQ sector in the next day or 2

It seems to be working again now, thankfully!

And now "manage my booking" no longer works, just when I need to change my flight in 12 hours time.

Nevermind. All good again, and hopefully it stays that way.

Let's hope so! Jetstar seriously needs to work on its website though.

Yep, they were giving away business Max bundles for free last year, I kid you not!

The extra $80 per segment that is normally charged, was not being added to the reservation on many of the MEL > SYD sector's flown as " international Tag flights" late last year.

I scored the points & SC at the business class rate, without paying the additional fee.

I was a happy camper!

I've had a few free things over the years, including bundles, exit row seats, even comfort packs.

I would've appreciated this a lot, oh well, nice to dream!

Being SIN based, and travelling around in the region, it actually adds up to a significant portion of my SC gains. My options are rather limited, I suppose.
