I've had some love from the upgrade fairy recently - last month swmbo and I were upgraded BNE - MEL Y saver to J and recently swmbo, myself and the two rugrats upgraded MEL - PER Y saver to J (T-26ish). The kids were ecstatic as they'd never experienced J before, and it was the A330-200, so lie...

Just read the terms and conditions - the 75 status credits offer is not specifically tied to the bonus points eligibility criteria but specifically to purchasing a Q flight through Q within specified period: To earn 75 Bonus Status Credits, Card Members must apply for a Qantas American Express...

So is the consensus that if you have held an AMEX issued card recently but have cancelled it and don't currently hold one, then AMEX is likely to not enforce the 18 months previously held condition?

Re: Double status credits 2/3/17 - 6/3/17 Thanks, I note that going via BNE (from MEL) doesn't really add much extra cost at all, so practically a free domestic J flight! :D (what's that saying here, why go direct when you can connect!)

Re: Double status credits 2/3/17 - 6/3/17 Righto, I'm looking at MEL-BNE-HKG return in J, which will be 720 with DSC, which would get me to exactly 1400.... Best pricing seems to be around $3594ish - is this as low as I can expect for a Qantas J flight to HKG?

You can opt for the 50 SC bonus when you get 500 SC's, so you only need to chase 240 SCs....

Re: Double status credits 2/3/17 - 6/3/17 It was booked Y sale, so yes I had to pay a fee, $100, IIR. It was worth it as it got me to SG for the first time. Without it I would have been about 240 SC's short.

Re: Double status credits 2/3/17 - 6/3/17 Ain't that the truth. And the reality for many of us is that having a small window (Monday night) to book trips we may not yet be 100% about is a tricky one, we need to know the fine details! Last year I booked flights to NZ during the DSC promo, then...

Re: Double status credits 2/3/17 - 6/3/17 Very likely here....Ms Basalt used to think I'm crazy but I've had great luck upgrading us to J, so she's rather got used to it. Now I've been hatching a plan to 'upgrade' Ms Basalt to Mrs Basalt and Hong Kong could be just the place to pop the Q....

Re: Advise on Status Run DSC trip in F to Auckland will get you at least 480 SC depending on where you start in Oz.

Re: 2 x SC for all! (Book by 6th Mar, Travel Mar 17-Feb 19, '18) Maintaining SG or making a run for WP? :D

Re: 2 x SC for all! (Book by 6th Mar, Travel Mar 17-Feb 19, '18) Ahh, of course, thanks. However I believe you can combine bookings? If so, does an entirely new PNR get generated then? EDIT: soz, noticed you added the second sentence explanation after I replied!

Re: 2 x SC for all! (Book by 6th Mar, Travel Mar 17-Feb 19, '18) Got another PNR question for the AFF brain trust - if one buys a ticket within this deal now for one pax, then adds another pax to the booking (who has registered for the DSC) months down the track, will a new PNR then be...

About time! Long overdue IMO and the opinion of many others here. 4 miserable digits just isn't enough these days....

Re: Macquarie based cards glitch Yup, I got the same email and text messages. I phoned up and got the same spiel. I've checked my creditsavvy rating and can't see any new credit check. I'll check again next month to see if it's a timing thing.

Don't see why not! Makes sense that one parent or guardian looks after the health insurance for the family.... Also, thank you OP, easy 150 points, it all counts!

Even more reason not to move it. You have to realize, at it's core, it's essence, a FF (or any rewards) program is a two-way relationship between a service provider and a customer; service being an operative word and, in the particular case of a rewards program, what are by definition return...

I've always found they show up within 1-2 days, I think as soon as the order is processed.

Thought it was end of February but that's the Westpac offer. I need to add expiry dates of offers to my running spreadsheet!!

Damn, just readying myself to apply and looks like the offer has been dropped to 50,000 points.....
