The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

[RSD]

New error code for me, organized a trip through a Travel agent who then didn’t add the QF number with the booking, Qantas website couldn’t add the FF code to the booking.

I had added the booking reference and surname to the website it would hang or give me this message.

Who do you email to get the points and SCs.

First thing to try when you hit an error on the QF website is to log out and then log in using a different browser and then try what you was trying to do. Chrome is my normal browser for everything but lately it has been throwing loads of errors when trying to book anything on the QF website, Edge seems to work consistently better for most things at the moment.

I was logging in and out and Qantas would send the code and then send you email, saying was this you, rather frustrating.
Now that I am home I try again with edge.

Frustrating is when you are in the middle of somewhere not quite first world and the code they keep sending you by text message doesn't arrive until about two days later...

Qantas use of FQTS as it has screwed me up royally.
Booked Mel/Syd/Yvr under my QFF but subsequently flew Japan Airlines so much that it is now my primary Oneworld status account. So at the airport (since there was no online way to change the asssigned program even indirectly via Finnair) I asked for it to be changed to JL. Sure enough my boarding passes showed my Sapphire status but my points went to my QFF. Booking management now shows both programs so the checkin agent put my JL details into FQTS and left FQTV unchanged.
Bye bye Emerald this year!

To Qantas's credit, raised this via the Complaints email channel and four days latter the miles were in my JL account so now Sapphire for CY 2026 and on track for Emerald by August.
Not perfect, booking class didn't make it so missed the bonus miles but so far these sectors remain in my QFF account. Nor does it appear that FQTV has been updated for the return sectors. Try again at YVR check-in next week.
