Happy Brithday from QF

[daturtle]

Got an email this morning a few days early congratulating me on surviving another swing around the sun. Had some offers included in it.

15% off "a reward of your choice" at the Q store.
10% off selected bday wines from epiQure. Fine print says not available with other offers including bonus points, so that will be a miss.
50 bonus points on Q dining.

Nice to have a little message, would probably prefer if it didn't come with any offers though, they're a bit dubious on value. Anyone else received anything similar and has anyone noted when this has started? I don't remember it happening during my exceptionally long 6 year tenure with QFF so far.

Happy Birthday for a few days time!

 

[Steady]

Yes, I received the same email with the same offers a few months ago.

 

[chelzmalee]

Ditto. The only thing that interested me was the wine, but still to expensive for my budget.

Happy birthday for a few days time

 

[deejo77]

Yes received the same email.........tempted by those toasters

 

[calmelb]

I got one for my birthday... 5% off on the Store.

aka Completely useless

Geez.

I don't even get 'birthday' emails

Geez.

I don't even get 'birthday' emails

Time for a class action AND complaints to the Discrimination Commissioner!

Been QFF for nearly 30 years and never an email - not even before email existed!

I'm thinking it's maybe new for this year? A Ford Forum is the only place I have regulary received good birthday tidings from, year before last BOTH of my parents got it wrong. Father was a day early and Mother was a day late. They averaged out to be correct but it isn't really the point...

Got such email also today:

Spoil yourself during your birthday month

blah blah

I got one today too ... same offers on Qantas store and epiQure ... birthday not until later on the month. There was some reference to "birthday month"!

Times are tough in the Qantas store?

Why would you think that??!!

It's a generous birthday gift from Qantas!!

 

[jackthomas]

I got this email today also... My birthdays the 8th, so they must just send it out on the first to everybody.

The offers are a bit meh ( I didn't get the Q dining offer, only the other two) I actually would have found a nice thank you email more sincere however its still a nice marketing driven gesture

Happy Birthday for all the other June babies out there!

 

[Mr_Orange]

I got the same. Pretty poor offers so was not even remotely tempted.

When opening it silly me really thought there would be some points in there as a gift

 

[Pushka]

I received one today too. Must be a lot of Geminis here.

I received one today too. Must be a lot of Geminis here.

And a lot of Cancerians as well

 

[JohnK]

Why would you think that??!!

It's a generous birthday gift from Qantas!!

Because they value my hard earned points at <0.07cents/point and then offer me a not so generous 10% off their overpriced items.

You can't both under value QFF points and overprice goods in the Qantas store. One needs to give way to make it look even remotely attractive.

i guess there are some birthday presents that are never used ...
