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

[woodborer]

Well, after refreshing my Inbox 100 times, no offer

But there is a risk if you didn’t receive the first email, although it looks like you registered, you won’t actually get the DSC?

Correct, if you are not targeted then you will not get the DSC (even if you click what ever link). It's that simple. It's not a generic offer for everyone.

 

[get me outta here]

My relo won't sign up to get any emails from QF. Does this mean that this email would not get though either? Or, is it maybe independent from general emails?

 

[astrosly]

The page does state:
"This offer is exclusively yours. Book yourself unlimited eligible flights now and reach your next tier faster. To be eligible for this offer you must have received a double Status Credits on eligible flights email on 28 October 2019. This offer is not transferable and applies to travel taken by the recipient of the email only, regardless of other passengers in the same booking."

Haven't received the email but as I very rarely get targeted SC offers I'm not holding my breath today.

I have also received the offer so I will probably book some SC runs.

Well I was targeted as well. I haven’t booked a QF flight in a while.

Like you, I haven't booked a QF flight for a few months and do not have future bookings at the moment. Maybe QF has picked this up as part of their data analytics and decide a DSC offer might tempt me to book some flights with them.

I believe you must have "Exclusive Offers for Qantas Frequent Flyer Members" selected in your QFF account's email communication preferences. Unfortunately, this doesn't filter out numerous annoying messages about insurance, that I have zero interest in, but I put up with it in order to get things like DSC offers. If they have opted out of all communications then they won't receive targeted offers like this. Don't think there's any workaround to this - maybe they need to be a little less touchy about email... it's easy to delete what you don't want.

Looks like Qantas might be using this offer to tempt back people who haven't thought to book QF in a while...?

Would the generic "registration" link imply that all those targeted, even if they didn't "register", but meet the booking and travel window would likely get the DSC anyway?

No

It's not generic at all. The link has a token in it that would identify the specific QFF member in a database. The terms and conditions make clear that this link must be used for the offer to apply.

I suppose there are several reasons to require registration, but one is to measure who is engaging with their email and taking action as a result. They don't want to grant the DSC's to people who are just oblivious and happened to book this week anyway. They want to know that the bookings are in response to the email offer.

all i got was a reminder that companion sale is ending tonight

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

But unless you socialise with a large pool of other frequent flyers (which is pretty much the case on this forum) - you'd be none the wiser.

That's absolutely correct. But they're also some of the people you want to avoid creating ill will towards because they're repeat customers and they know there are other options out there.

yes I got the same but just checked ad wasnt registered for FF
offers but still getting them

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

No invite in my email inbox.

 

[mviy]

Well thanks to not being targeted my wallet isn’t feeling any lighter. Might have booked a status run that could have proved to be unnecessary.

 

[Mike65]

No email here either but I recently booked two trips on the 50% bonus SC targeted offer so can't be too greedy. Hopefully, they make another round of offers start of 2020

If you were booking anyhow you may as well try to do the pseudo registration. You have nothing to lose and with Qantas’ glitchy IT issues who knows

It will not work. There was only a limited amount of emails sent out, a few thousand. And they are clearly targeted.
