Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

[XavierP]

My QF insurance status on ground SC's got posted to my account 2 days after my travel.

Patiently waiting for hotel 10 SC's which I stayed at on the 4th of November :/

Quick question re Qantas travel insurance. How quickly do the points generally land after the departure date? Online it says can take up to 6 weeks after departure date but wondering what real life experience is?

I've just had a few unexpected bookings for travel to see family on the mainland plus I have a premium economy to London soon. Also heading to Alice on points and will get status from PC+. And I am sure I will get the fuel and hotels SCOG... Sadly I missed all the DSC action this year.

So that all means I will be on 606 SC by May 2026 and my year ends August 2026...

I'm now close enough to think it MAY be worth buying a random travel insurance policy now to get the extra 20 SCs. I've looked into dates and added in a high cost item - so I can get the premium to $100 and earn 1600 points in the current sale (and please note I would purely be taking this out to get SCs - no dodgy claims or anything like that!).

Advice appreciated. I am a bit excited about the possibility of being gold again. CX lounges await!

2 days for me.. Travel completed on 23th Nov. 20SC's arrived on 26th Nov. I believe the weekend transaction always gets delayed. if you do something on the weekday then i always get it in 2 days.

It feels like you should get some extra reward when you complete them all. Maybe a 10% discount on the upcoming AJ's memoire*

*Discount does not apply to taxes and shipping cost.

I did have a chuckle when I was checking in at QF SYD Domestic on Monday - there was a huge poster advertising Joe Aston's book right by the checkin counters!

Almost there. Qantas Valet a couple more times and a hotel today should do two more.

Unluckily the Red Energy Bonus posted before this promotion started and probably no referral for me so that leaves me one with one category for me.

OTOH the health Insurance bonus got posted at the right time. This was for 6 months of being a Qantas Health Insurance member.

Thats all for this promotion.

from what I can gather Qantas Wellbeing points should be valid right? My Health and Leisure category is still on 0....??

Excludes Qantas Points earned via the Qantas Wellbeing App.

ah, ok, makes sense then. Cant get the Kayo points (as just lapsed my account after the footy season finished) and sure as hell aint gonna be able to earn 1000 points via Hoyts, so i guess that category is going to elude me..

Does anyone have a date report on when insurance bonus points are awarded for home policies? Vs policy start date. (T&cs say 60, curious for recent actual)

If you use a Windows computer use the Snipping Tool - much neater than transferring code, and you can draw on it too -

Just working in the last two that I'm likely to get

I'm not as accomplished as other people on this thread. My current status is :

Signed up to Binge using https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/partners/binge.html

1000 +50 points from Binge posted to my account today.

Qantas Hotels points from a stay on 31st October also posted today.

In case anyone else is looking at buying travel insurance to get SCs, I started my policy on 28/11 and points already landed on 1/12. I got 300 points on a $100 spend plus 1500 bonus. I forgot PC+ gives you more! So I’ve basically paid $100 for 20 SCs and 1800 points. Not bad when I will be very close to gold…

 

[Flyfrequently]

Felt sorry for Mr Flyfrequently not playing the game, so encouraged him to hook up to Binge 20/11.
1000 + 50 points landed 28/11
10 SC's landed yesterday 30/11
He is now 85 short of retaining WP, doesn't understand all the fuss

The utilities earn one is interesting - I’ve been a Red Energy customer for quite a while, and already have rooftop PV so Solargain is not really an option.
Just received my November points and I’m going to end up with about 950 points in the period. Unless the “usage” within December is somehow counted assuming next bill points will post on 1 Jan.
Overall it is very hard to track energy usage vs points earned, and probably incongruent with “Green Tier” to incentivise the use of more grid-drawn energy to earn SC!

I think this category was a bit of a dud. For those of us in TAS, there were no options. I like this promo a lot but hope Qantas go broader if they do this again and think about the specifics of what is available in each state (another example, no Hoyts in TAS and even for mainland who is going to spend so much on movies in 3 months!).

Someone mentioned switching to monthly bill. Might be worth a shot?
