Will Qantas have a March 2023 double status credit promotion?

[CaptJCool]

There’s several mini-sales on but I can’t seem to find an overall domestic one ?

the main big one ended last night (Feb 7, 2023) but a few destinations still have some sale fares loaded. MEL-SYD, MEL-PER are two I noticed. I'm sure a bunch of others. They expire Feb 9.

Had to make a booking today so probably will be announced tomorrow

I probably have to make a booking tomorrow, though only a short one. Still getting some work travel is better than none.

Not sure how accurate this is but the DSC offer may be announced 20 February. This is from someone in QF marketing - once again take it with a grain of salt. Don’t shoot the messenger.

You just know there will be another NZ sale with those $1000 J fares...

3 days before announcement of half year results... Or it may be 23 February itself to couple it with the good news?

Which was what happened in 2019 (DSC announced Monday 18 Feb, half yearly results 21 Feb), the last 'normal' year for which we have data.

In 2020, DSC was announced Thursday 20 Feb alongside half yearly results, but it was part of an attempt to boost forward bookings in light of COVID-19.

One can only hope - that is what has me on track for WP this year and then will hopefully help me keep it next year.

I did the maths and need exactly 120 SCs to retain Gold, so basically 60 + 60 via DSC. Any bright ideas how I can do that out of SYD for the least possible amount of money?

Have you already factored in the 50 SC loyalty bonus?

No - I did not but I don’t think I will get it. I will have the full Gold roll-over plus 100 SCs from PC+ plus the rest being reward flights. So, I don’t think I will get that.

BUT: Green Tier I forgot!

I was waiting for the DSC promotion, but with the recent International sale, it was too good to pass up.Looking today for exactly the same flights we booked, it is literally double the price we paid.
We are short a few status credits to remain gold but we will book a domestic flight when they have a DSC promotion.
Very happy campers

Yep, I will have kicked started next member year with 500 SCs thanks to that sale. DSC will be nice to finish the current year.

No point waiting for DSCs to book at double the price...

Instead, you could take the trip twice and still earn the same number of status credits for the same price

Some of us are time poor. As much as we like flying, doing half the number of status runs can be handy at times.

You could always book a comfort seat

Do the trip once, get more space on board, and get double status credits for slightly less than the cost of two fares (since you don't pay the taxes twice)

Yep I liked that with my fat I mean my comfort seat

This may have been asked/answered before: Can you add a comfort seat to a Classic Flight award?

Yeppers but all needs to be down through the call centre. Also be mindful you won't get an upgrade at all
