Hi.
Been following the discussions and have finally made the leap to make a comment.
I recently booked a Qantas Any Seat Award for my nephew. As happens, he had to cancel. When trying to get the points refunded to my account, I was educated that the Any Seat Awards are a purchase of a seat and not a Frequent Flyer redemption. As such, the points are not credited back to me. The ticket is considered a Paid Non-Refundable Ticket. As such, only a voucher can be issued. (Not the end of the world, I travel overseas more than 12 times a year.) However, as the ticket was issued in my nephews name, the voucher can only be made out in his name (the booking name cannot be changed). This has came as a surprise to me and not very well explained on the qantas website. I have lost the points and I have lost the voucher!!!! Doesn't seem fair (but who said QF were fair).
I would be interested if others have been caught out in this way.

I have booked and cancelled ASAs in J for my partner and the points (and cash) were always refunded to me, not to her, so possibly this is just a side effect of booking a non-refundable fare class and not the ASA itself.

Correct, as a guide red e deal fare conditions are the most likely to apply for the cheapest redemptions.
 
Yes. I'm generous with my nephew but not that generous.
Ok, that makes sense then since most X fare bucket economy ASA's have non refundable terms in the fare rules.

This is different from those JASA/FASA bookings that have "fully refundable" terms which override any "voucher" clauses.
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
