The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

[RSD]

AKL>OOL. Sorely tempted as I was looking at a weekend away....

Will be interesting to see if it works OOL-AKL too - we could all have a big AFF meetup

Pity it isn't working out like that for my flights to LAX that I am looking at!

I wonder if the points potentially gained count towards totals for renewing Points
Plus?

 

[NoName]

AKL-OOL? What dates is this for? If I can just book the award seat then I’ll book it just for the entertainment of seeing what happens.

Points calculator refusing to calculate points/SCs for non Qantas routes that you can book via Qantas



Click calculate and nothing happens.

I think I recall someone still had a link to the old calculator that works, anyone care to share?

I tried loading the link to the previous calculator but it went into a loop.

The calculator it produced appears to be the same calculator you have.
I input MNL to HKG it gave me the CX earning rate.
If I input your search there is no result. Maybe there is no recognised route on "partner airlines" ?

QF quite happily sold me a ticket Syd-icn, gmp-hnd and hnd-syd.

The Gmp-hnd is a JL flight on JL metal so should earns points and SCs as not competing with QF metal.

If it doesn't automatically credit, then I have no reference point for a claim.

The source of truth is really the earning tables: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/freque...ng-tables/partner-airline-earning-tables.html. I reference these instead of using the calculator for everything but QF flights.

GMP-HND will earn 10/20/40 status credits depending on fare class - it comes under "All Other Flights - 501 to 750 miles"

Thanks looks like 325/10 so not even as many points as a discount Y SYD-MEL.

Yeah, although technically discount Y SYD-MEL earns only 400, it's just the Minimum Points Guarantee applies and brings that up to 800

Today 10JUL24 ... may be the news of new QC membership caused this?

Maybe, but the cynical old software engineer that I am, I'd sooner put my bet on it being a lack of proper integration testing or infrastructure resilience.
(I doubt there's going to have been a *mad* flood of folk coming to sign up in a couple of hours for flexible QC membership...)

I seem to recall that the QF app used to give boarding notifications, but I no longer get them. Have these been phased out or is it just me?

 

[flyingfan]

I still get them, now with messaging about group boarding.

Just adding some APIS info to a booking. DOB and nationality required.
The nationality is optional however it will not save unless you insert your nationality

Noticed something weird today …

Flying MEL-CBR on QF1286. Checked in online when check-in opened. Seats allocated automatically and BP issued. All good so far.

Came to airport today to drop bags and request if possible to fly forward. Scanned my BP (from QF app) and the agent says “no can’t do fly forward to CBR” all good. I didn’t expect it to work as I had booked Y CR seats and wanted to try my luck.

Bags weighed and agent prints baggage tag. I notice that the bag tag does not feature the words “Business” or “Premium” as one of these are normally printed for SG (or WP) and above when flying domestic. But as I was waiting to collect bags at CBR, I could see other pax that were in Y, their bags had the “Business” or “Premium” printed.



Next, off to the domestic J lounge - scanned BP (from QF app) - no issues in accessing lounge however I notice that the BP shown inside the app does not show my status anywhere … the OW Emerald is missing and no mention of QF status.


Next, I saved the BP to iPhones wallet - where usually WP BP shows the blackish-grey color scheme with OWE shown etc. Nothing that tells pax FF status on this version of BP as well.



My bags arrived last in CBR. No biggie but left me wondering - is something screwed up with my QF profile? Can’t be because the FF membership card inside the app still shows WP until Dec24 …

Was the trip still appearing in the app / website? ie correctly linked to your QFF number?

Maybe your QFF details were inadvertently removed during that checkin process?

Yea, the trip was appearing on my app. I’m logged in to the app because I can see my membership card. And the trip was showing on the app, that means my QFF details are linked … the tester in me thinks somethings unlinked somewhere but I can’t seem to see/find it …

Do you have PC/PC+? The SCs would normally post within 24 hrs for CR flights.

Nah, don’t have PC/PC+. I’ll check the activity statement, there is usually a line item with the trip.

Just noticed weirdly LTG seems to have fallen off my digital membership card. Winder if deliberate or not since I have well over 40k LTSC, that is not the issue lol

Anyone else?

I've lost LTS from the QF digital card and QF app but not when I check in my QFF account on my laptop - SG, PC+, GT and LTS are all still listed there. Random...
