I'm also "one of the few".

It will be interesting to see how extensively this offer is spread.

I dont have "receive offers" ticked in my profile which might explain why I didnt get the email.

 

[Joshua]

Received email as SG, none for NB it appears. Wonder if PS accounts got it. I'd be a lot more interested if they actually put sales on classic awards occasionally. Sigh, oh well will keep hoarding...

I agree. There doesn't seem much 'special' about this offer. Perhaps just viral marketing.

 

[drron]

Mrsdrron got it too.

I look after 3 accounts, 2 SG and 1 NB.
Only 1 got email, the SG with the highest point balance.
So perhaps it was point determined with the cutt-off between 110K and 290K.
Just a theory!

Probably not points based.As a NB I have more points than mrsdrron as a WP.She got it,I didn't.

I got the email but my wife did not. Both WP though I have a high points balance and my wife has a low points balance.
I'm not sure what the real pattern is :!:

 

[Stealth]

Got it too. Doesn't seem much for Perthites, but whats new!

 

[Katie]

This PS got it.

 

[Warks]

Another PS here who got it.

What's so good about it?
Is the HNL offer for Jetstar only?

SG, got it. WP, did not.

I have exactly the same question - no idea why it's some sort of exclusive privilege to be invited to spend points on a non-discounted 'sale' for award seats almost year out.

Would you like me to send you a copy :?:

 

[JohnK]

Just a Classic Award Seat Release? How about throwing in a sweetener Qantas? Let's say 20% discount on QFF points required.

Not this Platinum.

And we're telling a select few of our Frequent Flyers early.

Another random process that does not appear to have rhyme or reason. :shock:

 

[Bundy Bear]

Can if you like.

Sounds like it was targeting those members with lots of points, I have under 100,000, and do use them for different flights.

No.As I said before I have more points than mrsdrron yet she got it I didn't.

Define lots. Millions? I have close to 300,000 QFF points and I believe that is lots of QFF points. Just over 12 months ago I spent 280,000 QFF points on 2 Oneworld awards.
