Confused... any seat awards that don't earn miles and SC's

[ozmille]

This is in the fare rules of my any seat award...

Qantas Frequent Flyer

Flight Upgrades are eligible on this fare. Flight Upgrade Awards can only be redeemed on Qantas operated flights. Points and Status Credits are not earned when travelling on Qantas Any Seat Awards. Classed as Discount Economy when Status Credits are earned on this fare.

I must say I am quite confused at the moment.

Unless they've snuck a 'quick and dirty' in :shock:, or there is some very odd circumstance with your flight, I suspect it has to be a mistake. But yes, confusing, and probably worth clarification with QF!

Is the flight on QF metal?

Yes any seat award on QF1... I'll give QF a buzz when I am back home

Weird, the website still shows ASAs as earning applicable fare class SCs. Perhaps somehow it's booked into a non-earn fare class. Best to call and sort out now.

I can't even understand this as an english paragraph. Is that how its really written?

Whats with the "Points and Status credits are not earned when traveling on Qantas Any Seat Awards"

full stop

"Classed as Discount Economy when status credits are earned on this fare"

Am I just being thickheaded?

You don't earn status credits on an ASA which is discount economy if status credits are earned on the fare?

What the???!!! What can that possibly mean?

It earns points and status credits, bit the initial class booking goes into award inventory which does not.

Confusing yes, but you will get points and sc.

Worth following up but don't be to surprised if you know more than the QF staff. I have called in the past and I was emphatically told that ASA don't earn points or SCs.

Yup that is a screenshot of what it says. Gave QF a quick buzz and they had no clue. Will be WP in a couple of weeks so will give the plat desk a buzz then to find out (hoping they know more...)
