    50 SC bonus with new Qantas health insurance policies [sign-up by 30 Nov 2020]

    I notice that they mention "Bonus" - Don't think Bonus are eligible for roll over but it makes a comments about being learnt from partners.

    Book a flight and Extend Current status to 2022

    If this is for the travel pass from what I can see they are deemed to be "Bonus" and will not roll. The travel pass has: "You’ve chosen to earn double Status Credits on eligible flights* for all passengers booked when using your Qantas TravelPass" and the Asterix "This offer is valid when you...

    Book a flight and Extend Current status to 2022

    Yes. They are worth holding over for flying after the 22 Date. Can book flights that are flown until late 23 The classic awards, with Points Club SC should roll over as I think these are earnt? The Points Club+ Status credit rollover SC I would argue as earnt? Or are these a bonus?

    Book a flight and Extend Current status to 2022

    I was hoping that I could use the DSC Opt-in for the Travel Pass to help accrue SC that would then roll-over. However in the T&C’s for the Travel pass it states “Bonus Status Credits will be credited to the Qantas Frequent Flyer accounts up to six weeks after travel.” I see in the terms and...

    VA no longer issuing credits to travelbank (or anywhere else)

    I would instigate a complaint to the ACCC regarding Virgin & AMEX. Amex cannot wash their hands of it. Thats why you use AMEX.

    VA no longer issuing credits to travelbank (or anywhere else)

    This looks horrible and seems like the “value” will be eroded with special conditions and rules: You will be able to use your Future Flight credit for bookings on Virgin Australia operated flights and any future services we operate as travel market recovers and restrictions ease. Bookings using...

    Just received an email - Airportr is now usable with Qantas

    I don't think this has been discussed recently but I just received a note to say that Airportr (Check-in your bags from home. Airline and government approved. Let us take the burden of your baggage. - AirPortr) is now available with Qantas. I use it in the UK with easy jet and find it fantastic...

    Flying to Cuba with QFF points

    I did it a number of years ago via Madrid of all places. It worked well!. I walked into an Amex office for Cash however and as soon as I told them that I was going to Cuba - they did not serve me. Called the other offices all in the city - no luck until the next day :-)

    27th February Big Qantas announcement

    I am with you. 767's will go 747's will go - with some 777's or something else to get to DFW. Lots of redundancies for all those and sundry who work in/on the 767's and 747's. I think the crew that work the 330's and the 380's are on a lesser pay/more flexible arrangement? (is this correct)...

    Qantas slashing jobs and possibly selling FF program?

    There is discussion today in the AFR about Qantas stopping the QF9 in DXB. [link deleted as it won't post] "By moving its European hub to Dubai, Qantas stopped offering flights to Europe from Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. That, combined with giving customers the option of direct connections to...

    Sabre down globally

    I am just sitting on my flight that was meant to leave at 2pm in MEL. We were about to board when it went down. Boarded about 15 minutes ago. Just waiting and waiting to push back.
