I had some from December that were processed in late February after I retro-claimed them about three times. There was no email or other advice, they just appeared in the online statement.

I reckon 50% of the times I got those emails I still got the upgrade, so you are not necessarily out of the running. 1709250197 Look I am a fan of Rex – but in fairness that does not necessarily mean there were a lot of people inside!

Rex seems to have stopped the "you've been outbid" emails. Today I went straight to: you've missed out.

I'm happy to have something that saves fresh entry of contact details every single booking. Any more than that is a bonus.

thanks!

$50 worked on ZL18 up and $65 on ZL143 back today. J both ways for $317 all up was pretty handy. Empty J seats both ways so I might have been successful with $30!

Looks like there were system problems this week. Instead of getting the out-bid email I got this: "Booking Reference: xx_xx_ We wanted to let you know we have cancelled your upgrade offer for this flight. You will not be charged and you do not need to take any further action." I took this as...

I bid $35 for BNE/MEL. Got an email saying that I had been outbid, and would need to bid $125. I bid $55 on top of a $89 promo fare, and today was successful. Pretty clear to me that the indicative bids information is wrong

My $30 bid for todays ZL139 on top of a promo$79 fare was quickly outbid when made last weekend. Last night it said a bid of $268 was required. This morning I got a message that my $30 bid was successful. Not sure how, but hooray!

yep

I think I was on this plane to SYD immediately before the problem return flight. It's not clear to me whether there was a genuine mechanical issue or whether someone was smoking in the toilet?

$60 did the trick on ZL18 today, on top of a $79 promo fare

QF has more capacity to back up yes in response to maintenance problems, but will cancel flights to consolidate flights for cost purposes whereas Rex just couldn't...so there are pluses and minuses. I've had one Rex flight delayed, no cancellations.

ZL18 on 28/2. $79 promo fare (might have been $89?) plus a $55 bid got me there. The passenger next to me bid $65. Coming back on ZL141 on 2/3, I stopped bidding at $132.

Correct
