Getting Qantas code when overseas.

[redbatz]

Hi. I am returning back to Oz from Singapore tomorrow. I have a lounge pass expiring soon and trying to link it. But the problem is, I'm just using data plan and can't receive code. No other options given. Anything I can do? Thanks

Your home SIM allows SMS reception for free, just turn off data roaming and turn it on

Isn't sending the code to your email address an option?

Thanks for reply. Already had data roaming turned off. However I started playing around and turned it on. Ended up receiving a code with seconds to spare but seemed to be a problem with that also and didn't work. Now I'm not sure I will get charged roaming by Optus. I turned it off again, hopefully, but spent ages and still can't work it out.

Well I wish it was, but it only had one option of txt to phone.

You can change your authentication method to use a third party authenticator app like Microsoft Authenticator instead of SMS or email. The app generates a unique 6 digit number that changes every 30 seconds. Refer https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/member-account-security.html#two-factor-authentication
