Seriously reduced chance of spreading it. Say, hypothetically, there was a 10% chance of being infected when fully vaccinated and also a 10% chance of spreading it, then the actual chance of spreading it when fully vaccinated would be 10% of 10%, so 1% chance of spreading it when fully...

Same here, SG, 250 SC's in my account overnight. The 50 SC from BP will be an easy get, so half way to retaining SG without getting on a plane. Given the DSC via business rewards and SC via classic award flights, getting to WP for the first time is within my reach.....

Just get yourself a 5L or 10L jerry can and fill that up at the same time. Use it to top up your car in between refills. Edit: I might also add, $250 for 50SC is a pretty good deal! I reckon there's a good chance it will contribute to lifetime credit tally, guess we'll see in a couple months...

The wine option is a no-brainer, even for a non-drinker. For example, buying 6000 points with a bonus of 1800 points is $245 for 7800 points. There are a couple nice cases of shiraz and cab sauv from Langhorne Creek for $222 yields 8666 points (8000 + 3*222). So $23 less and you get a case of...

I suspect the recently announced payroll surcharge tax in Victoria was an equal disincentive for Qantas to relocate to Victoria as the measly $50M sweetener was an incentive. Qantas' annual wage bill is $4 billion (from the 2019 financial report) - with a 1% extra tax on any staff Qantas moves...

The 2,500 bonus milestone points is very underwhelming. I'd much rather some bonus SC! Speaking of which, the little DSC offer is, however, useful. That should happen more often for points club members!! Qantas did say the points club is about those who get lots of points on the ground - well...

Thanks for the feedback, that's really disappointing but good to know. If one is chasing SC via PC then one needs to aim for the business award from the get go!

Got a related question - if you're a member of points club and you get a points upgrade on a paid flight, do you get the points club reward SC? For example, paid MEL-SYD in Y gets 10 SC, say you get an upgrade to J, do you get 18 SC, which would have been the SC received if you had got the same...

Hi everyone, I made 8 bookings from my phone app and for some reason 2 of the bookings were points plus bookings rather than outright purchase. Does anyone know what happens if I cancel the points plus booking re the voucher? Is the voucher for the $ amount only and the points get refunded or...

Great, thanks mviy, so presumably as long as the redeeming PAX had registered for the DSC, then they should receive the DSC?

I've not purchased gift vouchers for awhile - there's no option for QFF number when purchasing GV, just the names of the PAX?

Hi all, just to confirm that the Status Extension and the Status rollover are mutually exclusive? I.e. that if you, say for example make June 30 2021 with 600 SC as SG, status extension won't kick in as you've already qualified but you will still receive 250 SC come July 2021, assuming...

So I booked a JQ flight as a QFF classic reward yesterday, and during the booking process it clearly states checked baggage is included. Was subsequently surprised when logging into to JQ to check the booking and it said cabin baggage only. Then checked the QF issued e-ticket and sure enough it...

Not all manufacturing is dead in Australia. My partner manufactures in Melbourne, among other things, the specialised castors for hospital beds and hospital bed movers (she's the only hospital bed castor manufacturer in Australia). She's ramping up the castor production for a hospital bed...

Hi tdimdad, That's a bummer, I was planning something similar this month. Did the 75SC appear on your life time tally? I hear that they're not. I received the 75 bonus SC in the first ANZ offer a couple years ago and those did appear on my lifetime tally but if that doesn't happen this year...

Intriguing card but realistically IMO a very small sweet spot - if one buys 2 * return J to Europe or US trips every year, then the 10% discount pays for the card and the 20% SC bonus gets you to WP, in this scenario not having the card costs you more than having the card... If you're also...

Just noticed this thread. Definitely appealing to the broader central Vic area. My parents live 2.5 hours from Melbourne but only 1 from Bendigo and fly to Sydney semi-regularly. The potential savings in time and carpark fees is nothing to sneeze at!

100% agree and ditto! Was 15k short of J rewards for our family of 4 from Italy to KL last week. Two cases later and voila! Booked and 4 happy campers!

We've been at Signal No. 10 for a couple hours, surprisingly windy in downtown Kowloon, peak gusts of 194km/h at Tate's Cairn above Kowloon with139km sustained winds. We're getting a little water ingress through the aluminium structure of our hotel room window on the 37th floor but nothing...

So we're booked on BA32 on 17th Sep which is still listed as 'on time'. BA32 on 16th is cancelled along with just about everything else for the 16th. Fingers crossed flights on 17th aren't affected too much..... Currently cosy on the 37th floor of Cordis Hotel, Kowloon (formally Langham). Air...
