Restaurant program has returned!

[cmon0005]

And what happens if they don't notify QF?

This is what I am most afraid of, I also don't want to have to hold onto receipts for 8 weeks, and then followup with QFF to get the points just because a restaurant is trying to be stingy and save a few $.
Hopefully this new program is a little better than the old one.

Has anyone received points yet? I booked around the same time and am still waiting. I realise there is the 8 week waiting period but just wondering if anyone has been lucky and received them earlier.

No, nothing yet, but I'm only up to around six weeks.

Two weeks since my meal at a participating restaurant and no points yet - I'm not worried at this time.

I'm at 4 weeks and nothing yet.

My points posted today (though I'm not sure why it's referring to "17JAN14" given I dined on Boxing Day)!

What date was your restaurant visit?

I called a participating restaurant today to try and understand the process. He informed me that the restaurant pays $1 per person to Dimmi for the booking at the end of each calendar month. He has no idea about any points that may be awarded. So one would assume that Dimmi are paying anyway up to $1 per 100 points?

Went to dinner on 18th December 2013.
So it is less than 8 weeks (12th Feb 2014).

Perhaps 17JAN14 was when the $1 per person payment was made by the restaurants to QF for December 2013 dining before QF would release/process the points to members?

Well well well .....

As of a couple of hours ago my 600 points from dinner on 28/12/13 just posted.

It's description was 'RESTAURANT BOOKING 17JAN14'.

 

[DeKa]

Mine is there too - also 17 Jan (but my booking was late December?)

 

[qantas21]

2000 points deposited into my account for a 20 person booking at Hanazono Teppanyaki Southport, Gold Coast.

Qantas Restaurants - a rebirth??

Looks like after the recent launch of Qantas Restaurants in SYD, the website is up and running:
Restaurants | Qantas - Restaurants

I was lucky that I had heard about it from another source when my Qantas contact spoke to me about it today at our meeting. Seems like an interesting concept to gain yet more QF points (in addition to CC FFP earn)

Earn 100 points per diner when you make a booking and dine at a participating restaurant*

Book restaurants in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and cities across Australila with instant confirmation and no booking fees. With over 200,000 restaurant reviews powered by Dimmi, you'll find many rewarding dining experiences here at qantas.com.^ Bon appetit!

Did have to laugh at the mis-spelling though (see highlighted bold word)

Grrr , did search on "Qantas Restaurants" and it didn't give the original thread - oh well, time to merge....

Another source? Hell, I would have thought you had heard about it here!
