Double Status Credits (book by 5/2/18, fly 12/2/18 to 20/1/19)

Is there a way to book the current companion sale using a GV?

If you have a GV for 2 or more PAX it works. I did it yesterday. Or do you mean using multiple GV for single PAX?

I have a GV for 2 that will travel...

Do I just redeem as per normal, select the return flights and the applicable promo prices will be applied?

Yes, you simply redeem as normal. I booked a trip to NOU in J. Price for 1 PAX was $950 oneway and using the GV for 2 PAX brought down the price to $550 oneway.

This promo has a new condition "Bonus Status Credits earned from this offer do not count towards Loyalty Bonus [...]" so I'm wondering if anyone who has flown under this year's DSC offer in the last few weeks has found this to be the case with the bonus SCs?

 

[Kiwi_Flyer]

Double SCs from flights in February counted towards earning loyalty bonus, with the threshold reached in February 2018.

 

[astrosly]

Thanks, I'm trying to manage when my loyalty bonus kicks in for flights later this year that I bought during the promo period.

Hopefully a sign they are going back to correct some odd days and combinations! I’m still waiting on a couple of sets from bookings where one flight was credited, but not the other

Is there any evidence yet of changing flight dates on a PNR originally eligible for the promotion?

I need to change a paid F ticket for a flight next month by one day. This won’t change the PNR - and I know in previous years DSC will still have been earned - but I’m a bit nervous I’ll lose significant DSC on this booking as it’s the difference between P1 or not.

Any thoughts?

Just FYI after changing my QF flight date LAX-SYD in F (on my itinerary on QF ticket stock starting with a BA flight ex-LHR) my DSC posted 3 days after the QF flight as per other reports here. Seems date change doesn’t affect the promotion. Enjoy your DSC!

That took the full six weeks then.

Bummer. I’m SG and sitting on 1320SC with 80 DSCs due. I’d rather they arrive before my next trip mid April.

On a good note the flight taken on Friday to London has now posted the original and double status credits today.

As usual, there’s no rhyme or reason.

I flew four sectors 2 on Wednesday last week and two on Friday. DSCs posted 48h later for the first sector, but are yet to appear for the other three.

That’s encouraging - thanks for the data point.

I’m still waiting for DSC on a GV booking to post from flights on 16 and 19 March. I won’t go too stir crazy just yet then.

Flew today on a regular booking made in the booking period. I wonder whether they’ll post sooner than a GV booking. (Or, as I fear, at all.)

This thread may start picking up a bit of momentum again, as the voucher DSC post.

 

[thewayitis]

I had my DSC credited within 48 hours again. Also I got the loyalty bonus as well, and up a tier level. I am happy to see that if I change one of my booked flights, I will still get the DSC!

Yes regular DSC bookings post within days...the GV bookings seem to be very random and require patience. I've received all my regular DSC within 3 days of flights and zero luck so far on GV bookings.

Purchased GV on 5-Feb. Booked flights using GV early March.
Took flights mid-March.
Single SCs posted within a day or two. DSCs posted 10 days later.

That's almost the full 6 weeks but a good sign.

My first flight under this promotion was on 23 February. I'm currently sitting on 975 SCs and don't have too many more flights to book before 31 May.

Been waiting for 5 weeks for my 250 DSC to take me to WP and still nothing. QFF just fob me off and say you will have to wait for 8 weeks then they can do it manually. No reason given to why the so called as they say "Product Facilitator" whoever that is cannot help until time elapses. Really poor customer service.

You can chase them up at six weeks.
