Targeted QF Double Status Credit Offer. Book 28 Oct - 4 Nov 19. Fly 5 Nov 19 - 22 Oct 20

[petef]

I was referring to this remark in your earlier post.

That said flight date, not booking date. The flight date has not changed, so still not eligible for the partner discount.

I only got the 1.5x SC offer, but I'm in (I'm sitting on 13,090 SC's so worth adding to the tally). Hopefully, time for some more double yolkers...

Wait, I thought these offers do not count towards LTS and LTG.

The T&C's only note:
" Bonus Status Credits earned from this offer do not count towards Loyalty Bonus or Platinum One Loyalty Bonus earn requirements."

They have nothing to do with Lifetime status levels...

Yes I can read but your OP suggested you might have changed your flight dates had you known about the sale.

I didn't say that i'd change my flight dates, but had I known about the SC bonus coming the next day, yes I would have waited and booked a day later to get the SC bonus.

All good.

I'll keep an eye on the Airfare and if it drops while this promotion is running I'll re-book.

Please report back!

Targeted offers are certainly effective at creating ill will on the part of those that miss out.

It's creating a totally unlevel playing field which in my mind is wrong and sends all the wrong messages to me.

If you're going to do double SC offers then make them generic.

I'm not aware of any staff being made CL but I'd have thought the chief of staff to the PM would be a contender.

Certainly most senior staff (particularly those that are allowed to fly J domestically) would be P1.

We have a close friend who ‘received’ CL with their new departmental position.

 

[TomJones]

I've also heard of senior advisors to federal ministers getting CL.

Please report back!

Well it will be yolk and a half (which I have never seen in reality), but that's still better than anything. It's in place, now for me to pull the trigger on some bookings

Mrs Pineapple’s endless searches for J flights BNE-LHR finally yielded an email that would yield double nothing.

You recently searched for a flight from Brisbane to London. So we thought you might be interested in this fare of just $2156 Economy Return*.

Just for fun we priced an itinerary on her preferred dates. The best QF fare, via SIN, was $1,376, on a sale. The email offered fare appeared to be a saver, which sort of matches the fare bucket on her last booking, and others previously, so it appears to have correctly picked her as someone who tends to opt for upgradable fares. But not as someone who usually plumps for Y+ or J on long haul.

Looks like a data mining partial success, but offers of relatively high fares on price alone rank impressively on the #MarketingFail scale.

Cheers skip

"just $2156 Economy Return"

Isn't the market offering fares at around the $1200 point at the moment?

 

[PineappleSkip]

Probably.Best QF fare when I clicked through was $1,376. QF’s email bargain was about $800 more than their own best fare!

Who put me on this endless WP and F lounge threadmill?!

Couldn’t stop looking/stressing at where I can/should/must/ go from now to Oct ‘20 for the past 4 days.

With some people reporting that they've received offers, I wonder if that's it. A batch of emails were sent this morning and no more. If that's the case, it appears to be a very narrowly targeted offer judging by the small number of responses on this thread.

yup.... seems very, very targeted. I chat to and work with a lot of FF, most of which are not active on forums and none of them, nor their network reported getting the email. I guess the algoritm is anyones guess? I'm only 2 months into my 6th P1 year and this would be the longest period in ages that I have not registered for a general DSC promo. (I've never received a targeted one ). Without DSC and based on my mostly Y class travel, I'll be cutting it fine for P1 next year (need a "First World Problem" emoj! )

I wouldn't be suprised to see VA push out a general DSC promo in the next week to try & go one-up on the RedRoo - I think last one was 6 months ago.

 

[JohnK]

ts the P1's I feel sorry for

Why? Only if they don't like flying.

Pay for me to fly and I'd give up my sleep to fly more often. I love flying but not as much as golf.

 

[Mark1966]

Current Platinum (LT Gold) with a July renewal date sitting on 725 SC for this year to date and 475 to go with 10 bookings including an international one that should mean every flying discount economy I re-qualify.

I got a call last week apologising for recent delays and cancellations and indicting that to make up for that I would be sent a double SC offer this week - which I received Monday. They also asked for general QF feedback, how they could improve etc etc which all sounded like it went in one ear and out the other.

Did anybody else who received the double SC email get a call beforehand?

Unfortunately my travel for the second half of 2020, when I will need double SCs is not going to be organised in time to book this year, so I will get little value out of it

So nobody else got a call beforehand?

If I do end up booking the U.S. trip that I have in the back of my mind the outbound legs are on the 1st of February - I'm already expecting that some wag at QF will send me a DSC offer on the 1st of Feb

Interesting, I'm in a similar situation. Going into 5th year of P1. My travel plans next year will be lighter than usual and it will be tight to requalify without a DSC.

Without a DSC offer I'll probably go, and easily make, SQ PPS club or PPS solitaire as there's no incentive to go up and beyond WP. That's lost revenue for QF!

 

[Aeolus]

Has anyone’s double SC posted? My work trip on the 5th hasn’t posted yet. Used to come through within the week.
