Email late last night - 10 out of 11 for me. Get a message on my iPhone this morning that someone in Malaysia is trying to login with my Apple ID. Coincidence? Promptly changed the password anyway.

Thanks VantageXL - really appreciate your help and for regularly posting the offers here.

That sounds like a good idea. I'll try during one day 2 x $500 and 5 x $100 of the TCN Teen cards and see if that works. 🤞 Will report back.

For the variable gift cards it says limit of 2 per day. How effectively is this enforced? Looking at a $5,500 purchase at JB Hi-Fi but only have 5 days left to purchase the cards (i.e., 11 variable cards at $500 each, so would need to be able to buy 3 in one day and 2 per day over four days)...

There is not a QF transfer desk airside as far as I'm aware. You can go through the transit security screening point and remain airside (provided it is open). The few times I've done it they have not asked for a boarding pass, but I think it would be risky not to have just in case. You could...

Clicked over last night when some DSCs posted. Surprised there was no acknowledgement when opening the app or accessing my account on the web - just a label change from "Lifetime Silver" to "Lifetime Gold". About two years late due to travel pauses through the Covid shutdowns, but got there in...

1) AFAIK OOL lounge only opens one hour before each QF flight. You would need to check the overall schedule for the day to see if there might be a few flights spread out before yours and the lounge might stay open. Last time I did something like what you are doing I spent a couple of hours in...

When you tried to change the flights, could you see availability for a lower price if you were to make a new booking? If so, this may be a situation where you have to call and have them make the change. Similar to using a credit for a new booking - the lowest fares do not always show when...

Hmm, that changes the calculus somewhat. Unfortunately, I don't drink red wine very much, so the points won't help me enjoy it more! I'm hoping the wines are of sufficient quality as presents for friends that do like a drop or two.

Wondering if I should pull the trigger or not on the red travel bundle. Have the offer for 9 points per dollar and 5,000 points for first Qantas Wine purchase. Plus a $50 off voucher. These will likely be end of year presents, so not in a hurry for the wine particularly. Just curious if more...

For the 2.25 points for QF products & services, does that include Marketplace and Qantas Wine?

If you can't do via QF's manage booking web page (assuming you have the QF PNR), you should call AA and see if they can assign seats for you.

If you have QF status equivalent to oneworld Emerald, you might (emphasis on the might) be able to do a "free same-day flight change" to an earlier flight. This is a benefit for AA's Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum members and possible they extend to oneworld partners. The gate agents out...

Yes, only QF - no other oneworld flights for me this year, and I'm not counting flights with the competition.

Unfortunately no. Yes, actually the same for me. My SCs should have been zero given my 28/2/2025 expiry. Also, when I looked closer my total points reported was about 25K less than what they were on 28/2/2024. As at 3/3/2025 the balance should have been even higher.

Funny email from QF this morning congratulating me on retaining Platinum. Started off looking o.k.: And then: Hmm, I know I took closer to 20 flights, not sure how many Km's. Would love to know where the extra 1,481 SCs were credited, certainly wasn't my account 🤷‍♂️🤣

Thinking of offsetting an upcoming flight but it seems I can only do so with points. Can you only offset with cash at the time of booking?

Has anyone transferred QBR points to their account? How long do they take to post? Find myself in the unexpected position of possibly hitting PC right before my membership year ends but would need to top up with about 10,000 points.

The booking system for credit vouchers does not always show the same fares you would see advertised when making a new booking through the usual method. You have to call QF, explain you cannot book the advertised fare and have them book it for you. They should waive the assisted booking fee. Be...

I definitely would agree with this based on my experience yesterday with a Cape Town agent. Had a $180 credit vouched I wanted to book a sale NZ trip with. Of course the $499 sale fare advertised on the web that I could book normally is not shown when trying to redeem a credit voucher. First...
