Wonder if it applies to existing bookings. I don't think it does.

Edit: confirmed it doesn't. Must be booked and flown while subscribed.

I'm glad they did this as an add-on and not devalue existing bundles.

Anyway, assuming it applies to existing bookings then I'm in.

Do you get extra SCs if your fare is already a bundle that earns?

Yes

An interesting offer.. Really only valuable to those who fly a decent amount on JQ as you need 15 Domestic flights (or 8 International) to maximise it, and even then you are still paying $2.65/ SC.

Whereas some of JQs Business Max add-ons can be as low as $1.60/SC with other benefits as well.
Economy Flex on the other hand can be up to around $6/SC

“… some of JQs Business Max add-ons can be as low as $1.60/SC with other benefits as well.”

How can JQ SCs be earned like that?

Interesting offer. Good to see it’s in addition to the SC and points earned on existing bundles but shame about the 75 SC cap. This would be an instant buy for me if it was uncapped SC’s.

Also sucks that if multiple pax are on the booking, only the person who booked gets the benefits, even if others on the booking are Frequent Flyer Extra members.

How can JQ SCs be earned like that?

Only for the add-on (you have to already be buying the base fare)

Eg. For SYD-ICN the Business Max fare is typically $200 more than Business and earns 125 SC.. even better value on the return as it's the only way to access the oneworld ICN lounge.
And 8.4k to 16.9k FF points depending on status which also have value.

Thx for the explanation

I've seen some reports that QF Gold/Plat get access to the ICN oneworld lounge when on JQ in a similar setup to CHC/ZQN partner lounges.
