Triple Qantas points for bookings (Christmas 2015)

[RichardMEL]

I think registration enabled a number of things for QF:

1. It gives an idea how many of their members read their emails
2. Those that register then book is a direct correlation to marketing that this exercise (clearly aimed to generate revenue in a slower business travel period) so again it's easier for them to track
3. The take up % of the offer vs those who either ignore it, don't see(or care) and book trips anyway. If one didn't register how could QF know you specifically booked with the offer in mind - whereas it's far more likely you''d register then book sectors(specially if outside your typical pattern of travel) for that reason. Of course one wouldn't want to make generalised assumptions.
4. Limits QF's liability - if you offered to everyone by default then all those last minute business folks(who may not care/notice/register) will get them, and that's a cost to QF vs the leisure pax who perhaps care more about bonus points. Making people register gives QF less points to hand out (in theory) because those that register and benefit will be << than those QFF members who book before xmas for travel in Dec/Jan.

I am sure there are other reasons.

Well as usual I felt this would not be for me as we always book well ahead.But a last minute job in WA early January had me going through the trash until I found the email and registered.
Thank goodness I am a procrastinator and hadn't emptied the trash for a couple of months!

And if you had cleared your deleted emails you could still have registered on the QF web site.

Flight on 3 Dec, bonus points credit on 11/12.

 

[RichardMEL]

I noticed my bonus points were based on the actual distance and not on the minimum earn and no COS bonus applied(as expected)

so I did MEL-ADL-MEL and got 2400 bonus (as in MEL-ADL distance 400, 3x400 bonus per sector=1200, 2 sectors=2400).

took me awhile to figure it out as I flew one sector flex-Y (M) and the other in J (I)

So turns out I was wrong. just noticed another entry in my activity statement:

[TABLE="class: basic"]
[TR="class: underline1"]
[TD]14 DEC 15
[/TD]
[TD] QANTAS TRIPLE POINTS PROMOTION 09DEC15 [/TD]

[TD="class: noFigures"][/TD]
[TD="class: noFigures statusBonus"][/TD]
[TD="class: figures"][/TD]
[TD="class: figures statusCredits"][/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]


so, I am going to revise the above....

I think I have figured i tout.

The promo actually gives you a 200% bonus on your base earn, so your TOTAL is 300% (triple)

so the 2800 is 200& of the 1400 min for J ADL-MEL. The total for that sector is thus 2800+1400=4200 (which is triple).

I think. oh I don't know. I don't care !!

From the points that I have had posted I think you are right. What posts is double base points so you earn triple overall.

Flew to Brisbane on 8 Jan and 10 Jan 2016, extra points were credited on 12 and 13 Jan.
Flew to Adelaide on 15 Jan and 17 Jan 2016, extra points still waiting to be credited.

Trying to be patient, T&C's did say may take up to 6 weeks. Anyone else still waiting too? Might have to contact the Contact Centre in a few weeks time.
