Missing my Saturday Aussie Aviation fix 😥

Interesting. I did have two recent hotel stays booked with QFF, independent of any flight bookings. On 8th Feb and 21st Feb. Must have been something related to these. Although the recent flights were all booked on 27th Feb, and the accom I recently stayed wasn't in a city related to any...

I tried searching here and on Google but could not find anything really. As per the title, I noticed today that in my QFF points activity there were 3K points posted a few days ago with the reference "FLIGHT POST BOOKING EMAIL BONUS POINTS". The last flights I booked were during the DSC promo...

Great info. I booked EK409 today and wondered the same thing... sadly missing out on QF First lounge visit this trip 😥 But was hoping (presuming) the EK lounge would be open for a coffee etc from around 4am. Couple of weeks ago I was in Christchurch and had the 6.15am to MEL... got to AP...

Way back on Page 42 of this thread, there was a question asked & answered about earning SC & QFF points when redeeming Classic Rewards through QF for an Emirates flight. Qantas Points Club Discussion I find the wording on the Points Club T&C to be rather misleading/devious. * Since this...

AU to NZ. Multiphop through MEL / BNE. I booked yesterday BNE-xMEL-CHC return for total of 580 SC at about $3.50 / SC. Travel in Nov 2023 travel. I'm based in Melbourne so also involved in positioning flights TO/FROM Brisbane, booked using points. Was hard to find MEL routes, most were...

Ha ha... yes this is me too.. I registered on Friday and saved a PDF of the Confirmation page. Made a few DSC bookings today. NOw I read this about the "correct" way to Register and get the email confirmation. What to do... Probably gamble and click the REGISTER link now on the...

I too never seem to get the QF confirmation email from these promotions... I don't think I've ever gotten one. Always done when I'm logged in. I do however always save a PDF of the full CONFIRMATION page that pops up with all the T&Cs listed also. I've never had a problem getting the DSC's...

From Kingscote, Kangaroo Island to Adelaide. When I was a wee tacker back in... probably 1980/81'ish. I would have been 6-7 yo and have vague memories of what must have been a tiny little plane but it seemed like a rocket ship to me. It was the end of a family holiday with another family we...

Has been a couple years since I last did the Anti Competitive Compliance training modules at work…. but what you’re describing defiantly rings some bells as to not be allowed…. you cannot pressure or force your suppliers to deal exclusively with you, to the explicit exclusion of your...

Can I ask if this was with any OW status? And what MH fare were you on... Econ or Bus. I'm QFF Plat (OWE) travelling next week on MH booking on the 11.30pm flight to KUL. Wondering what.. if any... lounges will be open/available in Melbourne for this flight.

Wait… whaaaaat ??? Who bought who now. Interesting. Keen to find out more in due course. It was a great listen though on the Points Hacks podcast with Matt as guest.

I did a couple of Uber-Airport trips in the last month in Sydney and noticed at least one had been posted to my QFF a few days after. It's possible (likely) the other one I forgot to book via QFF app and did it on the Uber app directly though...

I've used a few UATP for partial payment of different bookings and have paid the balance with regular CC during checkout. From memory, the checkout payment screen shows an option to enter a UATP, at which point it goes off and checks that UATP and shows a balance (I could be wrong on the exact...

Thanks so much. Got my fourth dose a few weeks ago and just downloaded my updated International Vax Cert from Medicare app. So I think I'm all set. :)
