QFF Bonus Status Credits/Points gift on back of Aug 2023 profit

[Xinejon]

Received the below in my Qantas app this morning. Full T&Cs available here: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/freque...-from-qantas-terms.html?client_id=qftravelapp

Appears to be a choice of 30/75 status credits or 1000/5000 points.

Must select your gift by 30 August - which is slightly annoying for those with a 1 September anniversary date (like myself) as the 75 SCs would have been a nice way to start the new year!

Mine also expires end of august - so annoyed they made the end date the 30th aug instead of the 31st! It’s like they deliberately wanted to screw me out of the 75 status credits! Does it take 4 days to get the points? Should I take the chance and hope they don’t credit to my account til after my membership year ticks over???

 

[pointchump]

I for one certainly hope not.

Status support is done. Obviously Qantas aren’t doing big press releases about it but you can follow the timeline of status support on the Wayback Machine.

As of July, the only status support left is reduced requalification for WP and P1 for membership years ending September or before. There are no SC rollovers or status extensions for anyone.

While I am in the same boat as you, I'm rather philosophical about it. I didn't earn them and it's a gift - I didn't have them last week and wasn't expecting them. I'll try the SC late on Aug 30, but I think all the evidence here points to it applying to this membership year, even if it posts on Sep 1 or 4 (they did say four *business* days). Either way, still add to LT status so I'll take that for what little it's worth to me.

It may or may not have had deliberate timing for 1/12th (approx) of the QFF population to not potentially gain, but really it's hardly personal and I don't take it as such; it is what it is.

Each to their own of course.

Has anyone taken up this offer yet? How long did it take for the SC to arrive? I notice QF say it's 'up to 4 days'.

See post #283 above. No matter when its posted, its dated the day you accept, just like SCs awarded for flying.

...And welcome to posting on AFF

Mine came through and added to lifetime tally. Inching closer to LTS.

Mine came through and added to lifetime tally.

Ditto. 75 SC closer to LTP….only 50 odd thousand to go….

Anyone else have an example where they have flown 11 x QF/QF metal (and 2 x QF/Emirates metal) and only been offered the 1000/30SCs? My email mentions nothing around distance when it should be somewhere near 50,000

I’ll call tomorrow and see how I go getting it rectified

 

[boko56]

called the frequent flyer helpdesk and got the S/C's for my wife and myself, so if you are elegible give them a call

 

[BriarFlyer]

I've done mine but decided I should check partner's. Had to reinstall his app and the "log in" brings up a 403 Forbidden nginx message. Anyone know what this is about?

 

[kookaburra75]

As long as I’m buying them I’d say yes

Don't feel too bad. MrsK got the 75SC/5000 points offer too. All of her flying has been on reward flights with me (and on my/our points)

 

[RooFlyer]

Hmmm ... I'm worried. On the app home page at the top, it still gives the total before the 75SCs, even though the 75 are given in the running total. Are they having a bob each was as to whether they might be taken away?

I noticed the same. Checked the next day and home page total was fixed.

I've noticed this with general earns. For example, one could earn points/SC from a flight, they pop up in the activity list but it still takes a refresh or two (or even a bit of time) for the app "summary total" at the top of the app screen to update. I've always figured it's some sort of caching going on. Another "feature"

I saw email for 30SCs/1000 points. Part of me says why bother as I don't want to play this game anymore.

i've just downloaded Qantas app and chose 1000 points. Have over 900,000 points and cannot use them for what I want. Cannot find any classic economy award seats coming back from SE Asia to BNE/SYD until early May. That's 4+ months of no availability. Not even Jetstar. Sad.

How many seats are you after?

I'm seeing quite a few Jan-Mar. Make sure you have the reward flights filter on, without it, it wasn't finding them but I guess it looks harder when it's selected?

Seeing QF/JQ/BA options out of SIN. I'm only searching for one seat though.

Anyone else made their selection on 29 August and is still waiting for the SCs/points to be credited?

I made my selection on the 30th and they haven't credited yet. My membership year ended yesterday and I had held out until 11pm on the 30th to select the bonus, hoping it would not credit the next day (like most others have experienced) and go towards the next year's total. My status credits from last year have already been marked as expired, so I wonder if Qantas has actually done something in our favour here? Looks like they might not have processed any requests from the last two days yet, which might be an indication they were holding it over to the next month (maybe worried about another bad headline this week? ) ... or there were so many people holding off to the last day that it created a massive backlog or crashed the processing!

Mrs sudoer selected on the 29th and nothing has come through yet. 1 Sep anniversary so trying to get them credited into the next membership year (but not expecting it)
