QF excludes ASAs in U from [some] bonus SC promos (Check your T&Cs)

[Chief Wiggum]

Total Newbie question here, so apologies in advance... I received a +50% SC offer on Friday for AU/NZ travel 25th Oct --> 31st Jan.

Is this a one-time-offer or can I book multiple (eligible) trips during that time period and still receive +50% SC ?

I've got a few points saved up and free time during this period for some SC runs to help get me SG by end of May 2014.

Thanks...

Normally, you can book as many flights as you lie within the qualifying period. As ever though, read the fine print carefully.

Can they apply this retrospectively ?
I suppose its QFs program they can do what they like ?

My DSC came in Aug valid until 30 Nov and was planning a JASA but after this I fear the worst :evil:
