The start of the Qantas and Emirates partnership is just around the corner.

For example, an eligible return flight between Sydney and London would earn 5,000 bonus points. Depending on the cabin you travel in and how far you go, you could earn up to 15,000 bonus points*.

And when you travel on Qantas and Emirates flights (with a QF flight number on your ticket) you will also earn Status credits[SUP]Ω[/SUP] which could help you enjoy extra privileges when you fly.

I registered for this offer and booked flights with the following routing: MEL-DXB-LHR-MEL. I called the Qantas Frequent Flyer Service Centre and confirmed that I was eligible for the offer with a stopover in DXB. Thought of sharing this here (I just joined as a member today!) although it's too late for the offer...

If travel is completed, please contact our Frequent Flyer team on 131131 or [email protected] for an update.

I have not, but notwithstanding RR's comment, the T&C said up to 6 weeks to credit (my travel mid-May). But I'l email too

EDIT:
a couple hours later I got a phone call saying "yes we do them at 6 weeks after travel completion, sometimes we get directive to process sooner but we haven't in this instance."

So don't hassle the FF team until 6 weeks is up.

Actually I got my bonus points within a day or two. Or I kind of did....

What an interesting way to credit bonus points. Should have got 5,000 points for the trip. Finally resolved today with removal of the extra 5000 that was left from all the dillydallying around: Wonder what would have happened if I had spent the points before they took the extra ones back?
