Updating here after recently claiming one of the Ti card benefits successfully. The card offers a 10% discount off the base fare of [eligible] Qantas flights for up to 2 travellers, twice a year. To claim this, you contact the Qantas Money concierge to make the booking, and they complete the request with QF, including getting the discount processed before ticketing. This - however - only works if you have no more than 2 pax on the booking(s), and I needed to make 2 bookings that both had 3 pax on them.
I was unsure as to whether this would work out, and was prepared to split our bookings if needed to get the discounts I wanted, however they offered an undocumented alternative in which I just needed to make my booking via the Qantas website, take a screen shot of the Flight Amount breakdown ahead of payment and send that to them for making a claim. This allowed me to keep the bookings together, and have full control over the booking process, as well. I had 2 INT J bookings, 1 of which was all QF, and also a booking which was a blend of QF and MH. The concierge forwarded my claims across to 'Qantas management' for calculation and approval, and then the 10% base fare discounts were reimbursed to my card.
The process was a little clunky, and time taken from end-to-end was 18 days to complete. Communications were a little absent for my liking, but it did work out for my requirement, and so no real complaints, in the end. The J discounts more than cover my 1st annual & additional cardholder fees.
I'll need to wait until July/August to see how the SCs post, which is interesting as my wife & I are both entitled to 20% bonus SCs on flights booked directly with QF using the card... plus this was booked during the March DSC offer. The terms say that the bonus can't be stacked, but as it's 20% on the base SCs, I'm hopeful of ending up with at least 120% bonus SCs for the DSC flights.
I also put a solo classic reward (U class) booking in for later in the year that I'm interested in whether the DSC and 20% bonus will apply to... more on the SCs when they happen.
One other thing I'll confirm is that the 2 x F lounge passes were added pretty soon after the card was approved, but as myself and the additional cardholder are the only ones who can use them, and I have QFF WP already, it's unlikely we'll get use of them. A real shame they can't be transferred to another's booking.
Cheers,
Matt.
