    Qantas "Choose your reward" Promo. Select from Double Status Credits OR Double Points [book 25/3/22-1/4/22]

    Data point: It appears that in this thread, people started receiving their DSC's on the 11th of May last year. So hopefully the same holds true for this year. ...Especially since I'm doing a status run this weekend, then hope to have the DSC's post by Wednesday 10/5 so I can qualify for WP...

    Christmas Voucher Points Offer - Back for 2020

    Just a heads up, I pulled the trigger on this one, and it works for the Amex offer. The Amex offer expires today though, so be quick!

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes.

    Yep, I'm having troubles. Looks like the booking engine has cough the bed on the last night of DSC... Bloody ridiculous.

    Collection qantas status credit and points through oneworld flights

    I'm not sure if upgrading on the day increases your points/SC earn, but JAL Explorer Pass tickets credit as "Flexible Economy", bizarrely enough! Last week I flew HKD - HND on a JAL Explorer Pass ticket, and received 400pts/20SC for the flight: A pleasant surprise, as I thought I'd get nothing.

    Fly to New Zealand and earn 25% more Status Credits (targeted?)

    I got this too... And I'm also a David. Perhaps an email targeted at Davids? :D

    Dreamliner to LAX on-board entertainment/seat

    As you will be flying in a north-easterly direction, the sun will rise on the right hand side of the plane, so you'd be wanting to be sitting in a "K" seat. This website will give you a rough idea of the movement of the sun/daylight over the course of your flight: SunFlight.net

    Slow posting of QFF points and SCs after a JQ flight

    Same here. Flew on the 25th of February, finally posted today, after lodging a missing points claim both on QF's website, and emailing QFF.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    They were probably flying to Melbourne to do Additional Dialogue Recording (ADR) on a feature film called "The BBQ", which they star in. How do I know this? I did the session with Shane, and a coworker of mine did the session with Manu the day before. They're both top blokes!

    Collection of baggage for overnight transit

    That sounds like a most excellent idea. I'm doing this as a J status run, with the DSC promo to secure gold for another year. I was considering staying in the city, but because of the tight flight turnarounds (and wanting to spend the most time I can in the lounges), I think I'll definitely stay...

    Collection of baggage for overnight transit

    Great, thanks for the info. I'd rather have them hold onto the bag for the ~8 hours, rather than have to carry it to/from my hotel for such a brief stay.

    Collection of baggage for overnight transit

    Sorry to highjack the thread, but what about leaving the country? I'm in a similar situation soon, flying MEL - SYD in the evening, staying overnight in SYD, then on the EK flight to CHC early the next morning, all on the same ticket. Will I have to collect my checked luggage? Or will this be...

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    I've worked with Rob on a few projects in the past (in fact, I did a very small bit of work on Hacksaw Ridge...) - it's so bizarre to see him on this page! Even more bizarre to see him up on the stage at the Oscars.

    Changes to QF Loyalty Bonus (now includes status credits)

    Hi everyone, First time poster here, but have been lurking and following these threads with interest for quite some time. Just wondering if anyone knows if the various double or 1.5x status credits offers (April 2016, Jan 2017) bonus SC's count towards loyalty bonuses? I've almost made it to...
