Triple Qantas status credits (today only!)

[GoldCanyon340]

Woo hoo! Just booked a whole lot of Adelaide to Kangaroo island flights.

I wouldn't have been surprised if it was genuine. I completed my booking yesterday, so a DSC offer a day after is par for the course.

And as usual Westjet comes up with another thing you didn't know you needed.The Smart seat.

I pulled this up tonight in Chile.

@juddles’ immediate response was: “What date is it in Australia?” (It’s still Sunday night here.)

As far as I am concerned, it was a great April Fool’s joke by Matt and very fitting for AFF.

Well played Matty!

I saw this one just before I fell asleep probably 1230am this morning.

I must have been one of the first people who registered as a $100 voucher just hit my inbox

If there really was a TSC offer I’d be booking a big trip to get that much closer to LTG. So this only being a joke has saved me a lot of money.

Just a bit of light-hearted fun. Like them all.

I agree this is fairly sad as April Fools day jokes go. They can be funny and entertaining. They all involve deceit in a way but they don't have to involve disappointment. Examples of good April Fools Day jokes include the Spaghetti Tree Hoax. The fact that it comes from 1957 makes plain how hard and rare good AFD jokes are to do. AFF - start thinking now for 2020 if you want to get it right.

I guess you can't please everybody

I'm glad many of you got a laugh out of this. Fear not, I'll be back to posting factual content for the rest of the year.

And for anyone interested, the two featured status runs in the article are both real (although you won't earn Triple Status Credits for them, unfortunately).

Can't wait for the quadruple status credits next April. And 'QSC' almost looks as though it's Qantas branded

This is just stupid. If I wanted a website that wasted my time I would be on FB.

Great first contribution to the Forum. Not a waste of our time at all.

Oh for goodness sake.

If you really want a waste of time I’d head to Instagram and check out the army of ‘influencers’.

It’s a joke Joyce. (See what I did there? . Oops guess I shouldn’t joke either. )

Since he's a virgin poster maybe there's nothing to laugh at?

 

[Townsend]

Well done... having booked a flight yesterday I was unimpressed and then realised how unlikely it was and the date!

 

[I love to travel]

I am always up for a harmless laugh thanks Matt

Joined today just to make that post too!

Gee a couple of April Grinches here.

I actually had a chuckle and thuink it's not unwarranted to poke a bit of fun at the obsession with DSC in this forum at times (fuelled by QF's recent increase in the number of promos). It was a worthy effort I thought.

I wonder how many people were upset that it wasn't real because they really want TSC?

100%! In fact, people are so upset when they find out it's not real, they're registering just to share their disappointment. It's magical to witness. A true April Fools Day success
