Agree with Brett above. I’ve rung up usually and they immediately jump onto the request. Could you tell what accent they were too? Like New Zealander, South African, other?
I’m calling the HK contact number, the agents both have Aussie accents, and I did enter my member number and the wait time was less than 5 mins. Do you think the call would have routed to the premium line?Sounds like you've hit two CSAs who have absolutely no idea.
Sometimes you have to coach the call centre agents to achieve the result you're looking for. Are you calling the Premium number, and if so at what times?

Or do I have to call the Australian number on the back of my card to get to the premium line?
First call was about 5.30pm sydney time. Time of second call is around 8.15pm Sydney time.
Try +61 2 8222 2319 instead.Try the number on the back of your card. Pretty sure the local numbers redirect to 131131
Usually as a platinum I’ve been answered within 5 minutes so you should usually be safeThanks - will try those numbers in future. Being in HK, I wanted to call a local number in case of long hold times as I only have limited Skype credit.
I’ve had them sometimes appear and sometimes not. You should’ve been given a booking reference which you can use to look them up without going through my bookingsHe said the requests have now been put through. From the above posts, it seems these should appear in my booking list? Or have I misread this?
Requested segments will appear in your Qantas app, only confirmed (i.e. released) segments would appear in your online booking list.He said the requests have now been put through. From the above posts, it seems these should appear in my booking list? Or have I misread this?

Hmmmm I don't see them in either the app, or the website booking list about 30 minutes after the call. And he didn't give me a booking reference....I hope it was put in properly.Requested segments will appear in your Qantas app, only confirmed (i.e. released) segments would appear in your online booking list.
Make sure you refresh the booking list in the app. Otherwise I'd suggest that the requests might not have been entered correctly.Hmmmm I don't see them in either the app, or the website booking list about 30 minutes after the call.

Yeah I "pulled to refresh" and no change. Have messaged on twitter - I'll see if I get a response, otherwise I'll call tomorrow.Make sure you refresh the booking list in the app. Otherwise I'd suggest that the requests might not have been entered correctly.
Okay twitter was able to give me the booking reference. When I look it up on CheckMyTrip it says status is “Pending”.Yeah I "pulled to refresh" and no change. Have messaged on twitter - I'll see if I get a response, otherwise I'll call tomorrow.

True. Although the second agent did say that he had to check availability and took a long time checking before he processed the request.As I have said before there are blackout periods and dates. The first agent may have known this hence the fast decline.
Even with low load factors, there is no guarantee on any route.
I've had all requests appear in my bookings and have always been given the PNR.I don't think I have ever had a request appear in my bookings ?
However the half dozen or so I have asked have been approved automatically without much of a wait (still on the phone when approved )
