Has anyone had success with the call-up "Marginal" xASA's?

[cove]

All of my Any Seat bookings have previously posted as such. I am hoping this new one is a new bit of IT enhancement but it caused me to have to call about the @.

Hmmm, in that case, if I was Cove I would phone up yet again, just to be sure...

Am I the only one who doesn't quite trust these people any more?

no, you are not

The New and Enhanced Erica :mrgreen:

Maybe New but can't possibly be Enhanced in QF-speak because it resulted in an improvement for the user.

So credit where credit is due: The New and Improved Erica :mrgreen:. And seemingly more than 'Marginally' so, too .

What wa the $ cost? Was it within the range you expected? That may give an indication if it was ticketed correctly.

It was 42,000 points and no cash.

My money is on there being about 10 of the Erica variety and the grumpy old ... is still there... as 'enhanced' as ever...

Have you tried looking up the fare basis of this fare from another source...? It should come up as UBPASROW if its the "real deal xASA"

PM me if you need some clues where to look...

It looks like all my previous ASA's "QANTAS & JETSTAR ANY SEAT AWARD 1 ADT" no "@" to be seen anywhere

Two bookings that I made on 6 January show both:

06 JAN 14	QANTAS & JETSTAR ANY SEAT AWARD 1 ADT REF xx_xx_	-	-	-	-273,742	-
06 JAN 14	QANTAS & JETSTAR ANY SEAT AWARD 1 ADT REF xx_xx_	-	-	-	-118,903

The '@' is the footnote tag:

Points deduction is inclusive of applicable surcharges, fees and taxes (including fuel and insurance surcharges)

In light of that, Cove, I really really think you should call QF back one more time...

I agree.... I'd love to know if his fare basis is UBPASROW or not. If not I'd be calling quick smart

Should be ok now

Indeed... a paid member too so you can only imagine how many I'm hoarding

OK I will call them for a third answer on my son's booking.
Looks like the @ is nothing to do with a marginal any seat.

Ask for Erica, cove, she'll get you sorted.

I am having the booking fixed this evening and it will be 17K additional points to get a real UBPASROW Marginal Any Seat on the same flight. Was 42K and now 59k and a bit.
Yes I was misled twice so forget the @ symbol and try to get Tasmania when you call 1 300 366 587 to do the booking.
My advice to others is to read the post when the points are deducted from your account and if it does not say Any Seat it has been handled incorrectly.

More confirmation of my theory that they just make sh.....!t up when they don't know something.

shintaro10x, the last xASA I booked showed "QANTAS & JETSTAR ANY SEAT AWARD 1 ADT REF" but the fare basis was "UBPACE" - Any clue what that fare basis means?

No idea to be honest...
