Do award bookings earn DSC when booked in a DSC promo (for points club member)?

[Basalt]

Has any points club member here booked an award flight during a DSC promo and received DSC? I've got a business DSC promo (need to register ABN when making the booking) and the T&C's have this:
"An Eligible Flight for the purpose of this promotion means a Qantas operated flight with a QF flight number on your ticket between Australia and New Zealand where Qantas Points and Status Credits are normally earned."
The bit about eligible flights being those earning points and status credits suggests no for award flights that earn SC only....

Can you book an award booking and provide your ABN? My understanding is that only paid booking lets you put an ABN.

Otherwise, for your question: yes, everyone got their serve of double status credit when booking an Award as PC or PC+ member in past DSC

Good point, I just tried a dummy award booking and couldn't see anywhere to put it in. I then realised that I didn't have the "I'm travelling for my business" toggle on, however I've just noticed that when that toggle is on, the award option disappears!

Yep, but the DSC was direct rather than through QBR.

Yeah, I don't think there's a way to do this with the current Qantas Business Rewards offer.

Just realised that when searching directly from QBR, it's possible to tick "use points" when doing the search. Awards seats are displayed and can be selected. Is that an indication that award flights and ABN could be linked?

I can't go further in the booking process as my QBR point balance is too small for an award, and I don't see an option to use the flyer's points.

I’ve had award flights linked to QBR in the past (they obviously posted with zero points) but I don’t recall how I did it!

It’s possible the add ABN function was enhanced to prevent you doing it (as was discussed on another thread or two). Or the loop hole was a mixed booking (points one way/pay the other).

Was there a recent promo for QBR? Can't find it

I was checking my bookings (all rewards) for a separate issues, and saw the "Add ABN/QBN" options on just one of them, an OWA. But no such options for the other OWA I have.

Yes.
