[Blackadder]

Got the offer for QF 840/841 (Discount whY-J) Feb15/19 , put in a offer on QF840, for 0points +$500 will see how it goes.

Offer accepted at T -24hrs.

Offer accepted at T -24hrs.

$500 is a hefty bid

No wonder it was accepted .... must be getting pretty close to the Y-J fare difference I would have thought.

From memory still around $450 diff in Y-J , J was $1,300+

Lucky.
One of my past QF flights, tried to put that cash bid in, came back as booking ineligible.
Not sure if the lowest red e Y subclasses are not eligible for BidNow upgrades.

Now being used to make extra cash for QF.We both got a final chance to bid on an upgrade to J less than 6 hours before our SYD-MCY flight.J was full though.Probably not enough had put in a high enough bid.
Really don't see the point of spending extra for J when we both get entry to the J lounge and priority baggage which surprise actually worked yesterday.The flight was just over an hour.

QF932
PER-MEL on a330

Business was full, I'm only bronze with Qantas (on a gold fast track so that may have made a difference) so was surprised it went through

 

[serfty]

$200 , 0 points MEL-BNE on A330, 10am Saturday flight - nup!

 

[Blackadder]

[kevinyhli]

BNE-TSV evening flight. Bid offer $230+0points (min bid $200). Accepted just after T-24

 

[bPeteb]

zero from three in last few weeks. All red e, all min points and just over min dollars. Clearly others offered more as J was full on each flight

 

[Ansett]

Or perhaps they did the right thing and satisfied all of the classic rewards upgrades requests before any Bid Now could be accepted as they should do.

And no luck with them either. If it bothered either of us we’d book J. Trying for a classic reward upgrade or bid is all part of the game for us.

$200 (0 points) accepted for SYD-CFS T-6 hrs.

This is my first QF flight in 15 years. Does business come with lounge access? The eligibility on their website is is completely unintelligible.

Does business come with lounge access?

Yes. The Business Lounge.

Cheapest tickets purchased on Syd-Cairns 17/5. Offered bid up grade for $540 and 20,000pts. May have considered it if it came with business status credits.

Do you mean that was the "suggested offer"?

You can slide the points and cash down from what it is pre-set and offer less points and less cash.

If offering close to 20,000 points, I'd recommend just upping it to 27,200 and putting in for a Classic Upgrade which gets processes before Bid Now upgrades.

Unfortunately that was the lowest offer that would be accepted....we had only paid $122 for the seats so I cannot complain!

Qantas flies J to Coffs Harbour?

edit: never mind - just seen they have some 712s flying the route... interesting!
