Up to 30000 bonus points with JQ Mastercard

[angusburns]

Thanks for your prompt reply and the hint.

I just looked again on the Qantas website at some Sydney based JASA flights with maximum cash co-payments: SYD-PER-SYD (72k) and SYD-MEL-HBA-MEL-SYD (48k) but must not be experienced enough at this game as can't get a JASA return flight down to only 24k points.

According to the Qantas classic points table, 24k points is enough for a one-way business flight between 601-1,200 miles.
(you need 16k for a 0-600 mile business class seat so 2x 16k > 24k)

According to the Qantas status table, 601-1,200 miles in business earns you 60 SC, so I don't see how we can earn 140 SC for 24K + $100 or so.

Confused!

Anyway, I have now found the JASA sticky you mentioned - 381 posts and counting. I will diligently read through them all looking for the answer. Sorry to be so slow.

Not the best example..... but, took me 2 seconds, so it's all I can be bothered finding.

Depart 1st October
Return 2nd October

JASA Darwin-Bris-Townsville-Brisbane-Drawin is 48,000 points and $267.60

Darwin to Bris is about 80 status credits?
Bris to Townsville gets you 60?

80+60+60+80 = 280 status credits....

if you go one way, that is 140 status credits for 24k points and $134...

Keep in mind, you get about 7,820 FF points (as Bronze) as well... so, really, it costs you about 40,000 QFF and $267.60 (plus any accommodation costs, for one night, I suppose).... for 280 status credits.

Thanks but I was looking out of Sydney. Your example is very similar to the one in the first post in the sticky JASA thread - where I am up to re-reading post 200 out of 381. (http://www.australianfrequentflyer....uent-flyer-program/how-do-i-book-j-29610.html)

But very kind of you to take the time to post and quite correct if you are up that way - quite handy to have a route that is charged by a GCM calculation but earns SC based on milers traveled per leg. Handy to be flying away from Darwin to BNE from TVL before heading back up to DWN. (See post #200 in the same sticky JASA thread for the calculations - link above)

Thanks again, really appreciate your response.

Sydney does not offer good value for JASAs, the closest you will get is CBR to HBA.

 

[angusburns]

Thank you. I agree.

So other people have yet to recieve any sort of confirmation of application as well?

I applied last weekend and havent heard anything, not even an email!

Was seriously thinking I had imagined my application?

 

[Airbumps]

Just got an SMS, 10 days later, asking or a payslip.......interesting customer service...

 

[markis10]

Given the promo was circulated to the general public a day after it was posted here, I would imagine the response times would be decreasing as they deal with more applications.

Jeez I have had a bad week - knocked back by Macquarie for JQ Master card - knocked back by HSBC for Qantas Staff Card - even Cruiserette barked at me to get over my side of bed last night - bad week indeed.

 

[trungiez]

Still no communication at all about my application.

Applied last Tuesday..

You obviously didn't meet the required risk profile

 

[Katalyze]

Got rejected from JQ, I easily meet the required criteria and already have an Amex Platinum so they probably knew I would hit n run.

 

[trungiez]

Finally got the sms...

When they say it might take 10 days, they really mean it.

 

[anat0l]

Well I'm still waiting - I'm expecting a rejection but they do like to take their time about it.

What would be the minimum acceptable credit limit?
I have the Citi Platinum that will soon halve it's QFF rewards, but prefer to hold this rather than close/churn.

$8000. It's on the site somewhere.

 

[Danger]

Rejected also.

 

[angusburns]

I got rejected by HSBC for a Woollworths credit card mid-last year but successfully applied for an Amex Platinum and also a Citibank Select Visa in December so go figure.

 

[fox81]

i was approved. card came about a week after i emailed the payslip.
fyi my credit limit is 7.5k

when i activated it, the operator confirmed the no annual fee, the bonus points setup and changed me over to the QFF program. all very easy.

 

[anat0l]

My application was rejected.

Got informed by means of a snail mail. Rather inefficient - thought it'd be easier to email or call.

Oh well...
