Same thing happened to us prior to our OWA. Everything was ticketed, did the trip without incident only to have the points finally deducted within a day of our return.

From my experience of booking (and cancelling) a OWA over the last few years I would say there is one factor that trumps all others in assessing pros and cons - availability. Definitely book now in my view. And, as others have suggested, jump onto any changes requiring reticketing. MH is as...

Agree with p--and--t, just purchasing coupons as and when needed via the Gourmet Society path is very straightforward. Only reason I've also gone the Regus membership path is because the Gourmet Society offer may disappear at any time - in fact I thought it had.

Have a look at DragonPass: https://www.pointhacks.com.au/dragonpass-guide/ But don’t pay for the basic membership- you can get it for free via Regus. Read the comments attached to the above article for info on how to do this.

Email [email protected] asking them to extend your membership for 12 months. You'll probably need to chase them up as they aren't very responsive. I usually say I'm travelling in the near future and wish to use the membership while away.

Thanks but already swapped

Hi, I have a $50 wine voucher I’d be happy to swap for a $50 hotel voucher if you’re still looking to do a swap

Which channel did you use to lodge your query?

Had a similar experience trying to book reward flights MEL-SYD-NLK (Norfolk Island)-SYD-MEL. System unbelievably couldn't find availability on the final SYD-MEL leg even though a separate search for that leg found numerous flights. Cost me a few more points but I just booked the trip without...

Maybe try X (Twitter)

Qantas has advised that the first leg of a 2 leg partner reward flight has been cancelled and there are no alternative flights available. The remaining leg is not much use on it's own so can I cancel it without paying the 6000 point penalty?

Achieved minimum spend a few days ago and received confirmation email today prompting me to select an SA member. I'm very likely to go for AC/Aeroplan due to the 50K points offer but curious to know if VA benefits for Aeroplan Gold members are the same as SA/UA. I've seen in a few places that...

Try the Qantas Twitter (or X) channel - @qantas. Slow to respond - sometimes 24 hours - but in my experience gets things done.

Right now the following offer will get you 31,980 points for an outlay of $660 - if you need somewhere to send I can help with that!

As a further aside had exactly the same experience recently - baggage included on WestJet flights in many separate screen locations EXCEPT on our eTickets! But was aware of the anomaly beforehand so went in with my eyes open. Has anyone challenged Qantas/WestJet to honour what the booking...

Well, believe it or not, I managed to get around 6 of the 10 flights in my recent OWA booked and ticketed via the Twitter channel - but I might just have been very lucky. One thing they do understand is the short timeframes for ticketing for flights on MH, QR and others and have always managed...

My experience exactly

Highly recommend next time you need to contact the call centre you try their Twitter/X channel first. Responses can take a while but in my experience they're very competent and able to get things done with minimal fuss. (I have a strong suspicion the Twitter/X channel is handled by HBA staff)

Just to avoid taking an extra checked bag - but I think it's the "safest" option
