QF Gift Vouchers

[openseat]

Has anyone had any experience in using QF Gift Vouchers?

I notice that if you redeem over the phone a service fee applies.
However I was wondering whether a service fee applies when you book online using a gift voucher?

It might be a way around the dreaded CC fee
The only problem is that the card has to be wholly redeemed in one transaction. So it is much less flexible that the DJ gift vouchers (which are a work around of the CC fee)

Not useable with 'E' fares

I have just found out that the gift vouchers are not useable on the lowest Red E-Deal fares, i.e. 'E' fares. Only 'O' and 'N' show up on the booking page under Red E-Deal.

A friend has a $100 voucher, given as compensation, that expires June 30 and called Qantas to book a flight SYD-MEL-SYD in August and was told that the flights booked had to be completed before June 30. This is the first time I had heard of this condition on a QF voucher. I told him to call QF again and speak to another customer service agent.

Am I right in thinking that you can book any flights as long as you use the voucher before the expiry date?

That has been my experience in the past.
