    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Frustrating still is seeing domY available 9+ on Expert flyer, but no additional rewards inventory made available closer to departure - I'm not paying triple points for a quick weekend trip out of canberra! I think this is the reason I need to unlock platinum.

    QF Dynamic Pricing?

    Often it's people (myself included) getting to the passenger details screen when looking at availability and pricing, which then removes the seats from inventory for an hour or so... which is both problematic and a little stressful!

    I took advantage of this - was waiting for some sort of promotion - and should score the 20k through AMP bank, Accor+ membership, and a hire car. QBR looks like a decent way to bank points, if for nothing else!
