QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

[DejaBrew]

After a 5 minute hold, agent came back and was able to process the request. Unfortunately no dice for J or PE on QF292 at I5 and T5.

They giveth with one hand and taketh with the other

At least you got the right answer this time.

Interesting experience in that a recently released U request didn't have my (or Mrs excel's) qff numbers correctly attached. Bookings showed correctly on apps for both of us, so I assumed the app showing white boarding passes - instead of WP status - was a design enhancement when we flew the sectors.

Will now have to retrospectively apply for PC SCs, but thought I'd post here in case anyone else encounters the same.

To add further interest to this experience, the status credits for the Saturday flights showed up today (Tuesday) likely thanks to the lounge angel adding our qff numbers. At least in the future I know what it means if the boarding pass is not the right colour! Glad that I won't have to go through the Retro claim process though.

Trying for J on 2 April 2025 Melbourne to Jakarta. Currently not on sale so not requestable. Jakarta to Melbourne on 25th April 2025, currently on sale and requestable. Calling almost daily and always declined. The operator even says that J is wide open on both flights. Is this a popular route??

Where are you getting the "currently not on sale so not requestable" advice from?
