Cannot do a family transfer (yes very ligit) Once I put in my code, just goes back to generic family transfer screen

This happened to me the other day. Had to try a few times, and then for some reason it worked. I don't recall doing anything different the time that worked versus those that did not.

Same problem, I'm up to 11 tries now.

Try #12. i have been putting in the correct code each time, don't know why they have an issue with my husband's contact details. Trying to send 2100 points to my account, never had a problem before.

What a pain. Looks like the work experience kids have been at it again.

Just try and change a phone number. Can only do so online by sending a code to the number you no longer have. No alternatives but ring and wait hours.

I had this issue today.

Switching to to an incognito window allowed me to proceed.

A friend wanted to transfer her points to her daughter who was not a QFF member. The daughter opened a new account and then the mother transfered her points across. The points arrived OK but so did a message that the points could not be used for three months.

Is this a thing with new accounts? Anyone heard of this restriction previouly?

This rule may have something to do with it;

• You are required to have been a Qantas Frequent Flyer member for a minimum of three months before being eligible to transfer points.

Qantas website falling apart today;

1). Unable to change a CR booking - got 500 page not found.
2). Tried to make a new booking using my account to buy a ticket for my son - only express checkout available - can't change the name.

Thanks for this. My friend told me that the message said that the daughter was not able to use the points but more likely it said that the points could not be transfered for three months as per the rule you quoted.

The QF website is a complete horror show tonight - I've had to book each leg of BWT-MEL-SYD & return as an individual booking because the website kept throwing errors every time it went to look for flights, then when I was booking the MEL-BWT it refused to recognise BWT or Burnie as being a place... and now that I have them all booked finally after nearly two hours of trying - none of the bookings are showing up in My Bookings - but the funds have been taken off my credit card for each one... surely they can do better than this?
