I'll add to the avalanche of people that can confirm the promo is still on: booked a SYD MEL Y return for 5400pts each way (usually 7800pts).
Did that two hours ago.

Hey I do like the use of the word "a-VA-lanche" here
Clearly the 3 posts above.
1. Were not looking over the last 2 weeks. The REAL 30% off awards were in fact 30% lower. Fancy that concept! 20300 Syd to Adelaide is normal but I was seeing 14210 all week - several flights each day. Flagged as Points Sale.
2. Think 31,600 points for a standard coach award of 12,100 is a sale of some kind. You are nuts - that is 3 times the NORMAL rate.
Serfty might think 55,800 points one person one way in coach is a bargain of some kind. Clearly it is not, to anyone except him. If he is talking about an OZ/LAX (he oddly does not say) ..... 110,000 points RT for a coach ticket that you can buy all day long at sub $1000 retail these days and earn a lot of points and status credits is a nonsense rate..
Again for anyone who HAS been looking, the 30% off fares were CLEARLY marked and they were not there after midnight Feb 27.

Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
You inspired me, serfty.Me too:
I wondered if this would happen.Well it looks like the sale ended at 00:00 AEDT rather than AEST after all, despite what the T&Cs say...
And VA is even based in Brisbane, right? Good job.
Great result ... I guess a simple re-validation, not a reissue (with the latter often causing repricing).I called and was able to change the booking to 2 days later (when there was an available points award), for $60. No additional points. Glad I booked when I did, even though I wasn't 100% sure on my dates!
