Registering for double status after booking

[redbatz]

Hello, I apologize if this has been discussed. I made a booking today being last day of promotion and wanted double sc. Just after booking I suddenly realized I may have not registered for it. I then immediately registered. . I rang Qantas, was transferred and he at first did not seem to understand, then looked up and said it would be ok. But others have said have to do it before- so I am confused?

Wouldn't trust what you were told for a split second.

I would personally cancel, ensure registration, and rebook.

Thank you. I just rang again, and explained to a different operator and I suggested I wanted to cancel and re-book - but was told I would get the credits. So hope so. Thanks

I don't think it matters. It's the choice you had at the end of 2/9 that counts.

I think this is correct, but if it was very important, I'd use 'cancel for any reason' https://www.qantas.com/en-au/manage-booking/cancel-for-any-reason and re-book.
Make sure it's a refund - if it goes to a flight credit then your DSC could be in doubt as it would be the same as before.
