Yes same for me... absolutely stunned. Well done Qantas for making a real improvement on this. Now to buy to some more vouchers before the cut off.

 

[QF WP]

I've just bought $1,500 in QF vouchers and then went to get $1K in vouchers from Virgin and was stopped in my tracks.

We apologise for the inconvenience but we no longer accept American Express as a payment method.​

You what!? You'll take a standard reservation with Amex but not the payment for the vouchers...AND VA want to charge $5 processing fee for $250 voucher or $20 for a $1K voucher. Plus no bonus points. They just lost me. Back to QF I go...

Nice- I've now got enough points to enter the upgrade lottery for my Gallipoli trip next year.

 

[RichardMEL]

VA haven't been taking AMEX for vouchers for several months now... means it's not really worth it

Back on topic, no QF voucher points yet but I only bought a few days ago...

I've bought 2 x $100 at different dates, the first voucher was redeemed quickly the second hasn't been redeemed; have received 1,000 points today so just waiting for the second round of points

 

[JessicaTam]

My points have posted from my purchase at the start of the promo.

It's not VA that sells the gift vouchers?

Oh and Entertainment book negates the processing fee.

Yesterday I purchased 5 x $100 vouchers thinking I would get sent 5.
Today I receive 1 with me listed 5 times. Try redeeming that for a single flight - not possible. Quickly fixed after a phone call so all good now.

I think next time it will be easier to make separate purchases so getting different voucher numbers.

Sounds like you purchased 1 voucher for 5 people. I almost did that as well.

VA do sell gift vouchers... Virgin Australia Gift Vouchers | Virgin Australia

And the Entertainment book doesn't take Amex either

But if you did do it, at least you would be able to find four others on here who would 'help' you out.

I suspect you are spot on medhead.
Live and learn.

I think most around here would have similar friends.

Funny you say that, I actually have a $50 voucher, expiring next September, that should provide some extra benefits if redeemed before March, which I can't use in that time frame.

From that initial start I've had to talk mum through the voucher purchase process half a dozen times. She's got the hang of it now. I'm glad they fixed it for you.

After reading the dubious comments mid November about problems, I went ahead and purchased $600 worth. I used them a couple of weeks ago against 2 x J tickets SYD-LAX and just this morning found the 6000 bonus points in my FF account.
I certainly had no problems and hope they come back again soon
