Jetstar 'Interested in changing?' offer

[Rayesfeg]

Received an offer of $10 (a $10 Jetstar voucher mind you) to change my flight from Hamilton NZ to Sydney for the day prior... I have a strong feeling they forgot to add a 0 at the end.

Also received a $10 "offer" to move a 10 am WLG-AKL flight to a 9:30pm flight the next day!
Seeing as I'm flying (on a separate ticket) back to SYD on the afternoon of the original ticket, I think I'll be a $10 Jetstar voucher worse off.

ADL-BNE on Monday both of us got offered $20. As wasn’t interested didn’t check if that was $20 each or $10x2.

 

[bcworld]

$10!

I was going to say why does the flight the next day take an extra 15 mins?

 

[aikman]

Thai is the same. Extra 20 mins flying time on Sundays.

 

[serfty]

Errrm ... nope!

 

[aikman]

I assume this scheme has a high acceptance rate given compensation seems to have settled at $10. The question is why are people accepting $10 to move?

Actually, I am thinking the opposite; the offer is being made with a view to having a likely rejection. My original flight appears lightly loaded, so maybe they have to make a certain number of offers. Ether that or you are correct and there are those out there to whom such an offer may be acceptable.

Maybe JQ wants to cancel your original flight?

Oh I'm flying QF around the same time so I may bump into you in the lounge?

$10 to fly at 7am? I would need at least $1,000 to consider that!

All these messages say you have to pay to select a seat again if your seat isn’t available. Seriously?? That will eat up the generous $20 in just that charge.

They’re (JQ) giving it a shot

I wonder if they’d have more luck if people who accepted the offer could choose a voucher to be put toward a future flight OR a voucher to be used on board?

If you changing flights last minute not much chance of your preferred seat anyway. Id think those that preselect seats would be pretty unlikely to take-up this offer in any event.
