Recent J trip with Qantas partner, credited twice for SCs and FF points

[haggiscat]

Post 2:

I recently booked tickets with a Qantas partner to go OS in Business. Later, I changed the flights so they arrived and departed about a week later.

I was credited with points for the flights actually flown, but a couple of weeks later noticed my status credits had jumped by 80, and my FF points balance was also up. Qantas had credited me for the original outbound booking which had not been flown. Fine, I thought, leave it and see what happens. Two days later the status credits were up another 80 and so were the FF points - had been credited again for the return J flight never flown.

Should I alert them to this? As I am almost platinum and plan to stop earning points after I get to 1400 I don't really want to be sitting in the J lounge having a gin and tonic on the cutoff date and check my laptop to find 160 scs have suddenly vaporized. Do they check the computer records or what?

They might now after reading this.:shock:

It's really up to you.

Up to you to work out whether to report it or not.

Unlikely to be found unless you make waves, or post pertinent information about yourself / the trip and a really industrious person at Qantas decided to read and act, but the risk is always there it will be taken away.

Generally people keep quiet about this sort of thing.

Time for an ethics class?
What would your parents have done?
What would your friends think?
The other night a Molotov coughtail struck and damaged a speed /red light camera.......hero worship followed on a news blog even though it is public property.
Attitudes are changing that is for sure!

I think there may be a nice QF bug at the moment. One of my mates just got double credited on a JASA...

Look I'd bet that QF will find and correct...

Agreed. I don't have a problem with those cameras either. Way too many people run the gauntlet going through red lights.

Back to the OP, is it a remnant of the double SC's promotion?

Well the status credits dont have the little ~ thing next to them which normally denotes a flight eligible for status attain/retain, but they still appear in the status credits total. Perhaps I booked the flight under a double points promotion unwittingly as it was some time ago and it has simply credited at the original dates?

Anyway, for all the morally upright speed camera lovers who might subsequently make commentary on my moral fibre, I spend enough with QANTAS that I'm not particularly troubled that they might have inadvertently awarded me a few extra scrappy points. I just got a free jar of peanut butter in my shopping and didn't tell the checkout chick, too - how will I sleep tonight??

In my mates case, he got triple SC's! As a part of the double SC promotion he got that, then some...

The lesss said the better.

I think he must have got credit for my 2 CX business class flights that tried to credit as first class flights again.

And I forgot the boarding passes in SYD again. Now need to wait another week and it has almost been 2 months.
