How long did the SC take to come into your account from the everyday rewards gift card? Points came in the next day but not SC yet and my son needs 10 more for a flight tomorrow!

Folks needing to complete 'fuel and cars' should check their emails.

This morning, I got a (possibly targeted) email from Qantas inviting me to activate an offer with BP for 3x250 points for three visits (no minimum spend it seems) by 31 January. Time to go and buy a few more bags of chips...

(Needn't have bought all those overpriced boxes of Favourites it seems. Hindsight's a wonderful thing...)

I have already managed the SC with BP @MELso but we both got the email 250 x 3 promo.
Naturally, 😏 I filled up x 2 early in the promo, points there but not the bonus 250 x2 points yet.....

SC have usually credited the following day after receiving points for me.
 
Well that's a wrap, my red energy points hit yesterday thanks to the special billing cycle, managed to get every category, also ticked off green tier! Time to cancel my carbon offset, happy with the $5.33 charge for the shorter billing cycle to get a green tier activity.

Cards and Banking: Normal everyday CC spend.
Insurance: $103 Qantas Travel Insurance policy for Singapore.
Utilities and Services: Normal Red Energy Spend, had to be creative and ask for a special bill cycle otherwise i would of just missed out - Bill originally due to be generated 01 JAN
Hotels and Travel: Had 10,331 IHG Points sitting there that i wasn't planning on using, so transferred 10,000 IHG for 2000 QF not the best use, but had no plans for them
Fuel and Cars: Normal BP Fuel Purchases (Surprisingly the BP on the way to work is the cheapest servo in my area), might of bought an extra Dare Iced Coffee or two for 10 x points, when the bonus points didn't hit, called up and the extra points they gave me helped me get over the line a lot earlier than expected / also had a few Ubers to and from the airport paid for by the work account
Food and Wine: Just one shop at woolies, was sitting on 1900 everyday reward points so easy to do with a normal shop.
Shopping: $350 Woolies Gift Card on Qantas Marketplace used for everyday spend.
Health and Leisure: 1 month of Kayo for $30.

Happy with the 110 extra status credits + 50 from green tier that are already in my account!

Registered but I can't actually see myself earning any SC from this offer. Can't even transfer Amex MR to complete the Cards and Banking section!

And as a member with a December year-end, looks like we get the short end of the stick again - offer comes too late in the membership year to be particularly useful (and looks like the SC's can't be deferred until the new year since they're backdated to the date the points are earned), on top of the fact that we can't defer the 'gift' SCs credited last month to the new membership year either!

Exactly - I have 31 Oct membership year, so I immediately lost 30 SC's as soon as they were granted!☹️

I was lucky because 30 of my 90 SCs landed in November for things with activity dates in October. They should’ve been backdated but weren’t.
 
My insurance SCs landed today, with exception of adding a personal item to my travel insurance to get policy to $101 i opted not to spend on things i didnt need.

So a total of 60 SCs only - credit cards (20), Hotels (10), Insurance (20) and food (10). My red enery bills not high enough but also weirdly Red Energy paid on 18th Dec hasnt posted any points yet even though usually appear within a few days.

Strikes me a quite unbalanced promo, as utility spend needs to be $501 to get to 1k points, where as insurance only $101. I was $75 short of red energy spend and not option to get an early bill.
 
had to stock up DARE coffee to get over the line for the fuel category and turned out DARE coffee is cheaper in BP than the supermarkets lol because they had this 5 for $15 promo...
 
Different promo (the 250 bonus points x 3 one) but my kids got into the mini bar at our hotel on the weekend and I popped next door to BP and saved $5 of the damage replacing them there plus 250 points so I considered that a win too

Not yet - I am still waiting for the bonus points to show up too but I did get the base points so I am sure they will show up at some point soon-ish

The T&Cs for the promo say the base points will post up to 8 weeks after the end of the promo on 31 January (so still within the period to claim the SCs).
