I must be the only one spending points on wine in here

I certainly have. I know the value is not good but during 2 yrs of no travel, why not?

Have they stopped awarding points on buying wine using points now?
If you use the "points plus pay" slider and set it to $0, the earn says 0 points.

Very likely

You should earn points on the cash component. If that is $0 then no points

Looks like it changed some time this year, maybe around the time the website changed.
You used to be able to make a (100%) points purchase and earn QFF and QBR points at the same time.

Looks like a generic code, not as good as the $75 one, but still a freebie if already purchasing.

*Didn't manage to get the code to stick when trying it out. I suspect these were printed before their website overhaul, which seem to have invalidated all prior codes. So might have to ask them through chat. **Though looking at it again, I might just be blind and can't tell the difference between (O 0 I 1).

I had the same issue redeeming the code. Rang through and they acknowledged they can't get it to work either so they created a new order for just the Champagne at nil dollars.

It must have. I’ve certainly used points to buy wine in the past and earned the same points as cash spend. It must be 6 months or more since I have done that so consistent with your post.

Does it take long for the points to show up? I ordered a case of 2015 mclaren vale Shiraz with 10,000 bonus points.

It’s usually pretty quick - a few days.

Looks like I’m drinking my way to some extra flights.

 

[QF WP]

Yep, you're buying some points and getting some wine thrown in

I also couldn't redeem the code for the free bottle of champagne when spending $299 online. So I rang up and they were able to process the order over the phone. They put the champagne through as a separate (free) order, like they did for you. I did have to send a photo of the coupon by email, but that wasn't an issue.

Since I was spending more than $300 over the phone, the rep also offered to throw in an extra 3,000 points with my order which was nice.

Anyone else having issues redeeming their birthday vouchers? I can see the vouchers + code in my qantas account (under points club plus) but it doesnt seem to apply correctly on the qantas wine website (despite hitting the minimum spend requirements). It is also my birthday month this month - though im trying to redeem last years vouchers.

Open to any and all suggestions!

Thanks

i think it’s been mentioned older vouchers did not transition to the new website so you have to ask them to manually apply them.
