[blackcat20]

A new offer in the winds; I received this via email so not sure if it's a targetted or general offer.

Our partnership with Emirates is stronger than ever. Together, we continue to soar and we want you to benefit with double Qantas Points.*

So, for 5 days only earn double points when you book an eligible flight operated by Qantas or Emirates with a 'QF' flight number on your ticket, for travel between Australia or New Zealand and London (via Singapore, Dubai or Perth) or Europe (via Dubai), Singapore or Dubai.

As a special bonus for you, we are also offering double Status Credits on all eligible Qantas operated domestic or international flights with a 'QF' flight number on your ticket. Register and make a new booking between 4 September and 8 September 2017 and travel between 18 September 2017 and 6 September 2018.[TABLE="class: x_mobile-expanding, width: 600, align: center"] [TR] [TD="width: 100%"]

I received the same. It says you need to register but when I click through the link, there is no registration page, just a page headed "registration confirmation". So it's hard to know how to register someone other than through the email link. I am cursing as I have J flights coming up to the US and Europe in the next month which I cannot cancel and re-book!! :evil::evil:

Got it too. They are coming thick and fast. More overcrowded J lounges to come.

Just registered but made a booking at 1am Australian time today. Assume it will count?

It looks like only some people are getting the DSC part of the offer.

I received both the double points and double status offer in the email. I am Gold with no status credits so far this year.

 

[Ansett]

As a WP sitting on almost 3000 status credits have not received anything.....

Mrs C has the email with DSC, I have no email at all (wer'e both WP, 0 SC this year - just reset last month). The emails appear targetted as clicking on the email link brings up a page starting "Dear Mrs C".

My email (P1) had both double points and SC's included, but the one register button. just as a data point.

 

[Ansett]

Ok just re checked my emails and there it was both double Points and Status Credits.... Now do I go for Plat One ?????????

 

[Sdtravel]

Nothing here yet.
The QF site seems to say only double points to Europe. So it doesnt look like a world wide thing. Unless the emails that are coming out extend the offer or are completely different.
Can someone post the email or something to confirm the exact nature of the offer? (of course remove any personal info)

Better read the P1 thread before (in my opinion) wasting money chasing status.

My email (P1) had both double points and SC's included, but the one register button. just as a data point. I would not when I click on "Register and book:" the page that comes up says "Register Confirmation", just all the T&C and a booking section. no email has come through to confirm this though. T&C:

Bonus Status Credits earned from this offer do not count towards Loyalty Bonus or Platinum One Loyalty Bonus earn requirements that's new, but consistent with the other thread on this issue.

It's in Blackcat20's first post. No more detail than that. T&C's confirm it is more open than the double points (any QF operated and coded flight)

Yes, glad they have made this clear. Petty as it is.

Having been P1 before I agree
