Jetstar BidCash Business Class upgrades

Thanks for that! Very clean looking page. I do find those sliders slightly annoying when I want to lock in a specific price - it can be niggly to get it to a round number.

If you don't mind me asking, have you put in a bid? If so, are you able to adjust your bid up or down after submitting your initial bid and is there any indication that you have been outbid by others?

Hello, yes you can change / increase your bid at any time. You go to manage flight and can increase your bid. The same slider opens up with your current bid and you move the slide to the new amount.
I have just made my first bid for upgrade ona return flight Bangkok / Brisbane. I can not find any way of knowing if you can be outbid or where your current bid sits and from my current research the bid can be accepted up to 4 hours prior to departure, you will receive an email with advice and emailed a new itinerary. At the time you make a bid you have to also hit a payment button which takes a $1 dollar capture from your CC, or method you chose to pay.

Hi all,
Was successful on JQ7 recently, with a bid +$5 above minimum bid. Still a few empty seats in business.

I'm on the MEL-BKK flight on 24 December and have received an offer to bid for an upgrade.

I've also been moved from row 10.

Do you remember roughly when your bid was accepted prior to the flight?
I'd very much like to confirm luggage arrangement well before '4 hours' prior to my international departure stated in the T&C haha

Wonder why your seat was taken away if you only received an offer to bid which doesn't secure anything, whether you put in the bid or not.

Wonder why your seat was taken away

On a December SYD-ICN where Id booked Row 23 I note rows 10-13 while still shown are seemingly blocked out (seat selection is under 30% so I can't imagine it's all full)

So I wonder if JQ are doing this selectively on the longer routes where they expect to be using the refurbs by that time.
