Points aren't the point IMHO.
How about double,status credits ? Now that's a promotion.

Indeed, basically giving back what was enhanced in June with a little more, perhaps in reality a 5% bonus compared to bookings made back then.

I like the quote in the article:

"We’re often looking for opportunities to reward our members beyond what the program normally offers..."

It must be pretty easy to find such opportunities - just look through the list of prior enhancements!

 

[Limewood]

Its best not to use the word "enhancement" in regard to...

I think that's gone where Anytime Access to lounges has gone.

And rightly so in my opinion. But that's a debate for another thread.

Edit-Solved: Does this offer require registration? as I have a trip I need to book ASAP, but would rather hold off to get the Double points.

Yes it does require registration and is now on the QF homepage.

2 x 0.78 cents = 1.56 cents. A new toaster may now finally be within reach.

The T&Cs state the following "Flights can be booked via qantas.com, a travel agent or Qantas Contact Centres"

Am I correct in assuming that for this purpose OTAs are treated like a normal TA? Unfortunately the itinerary I require can't be booked through the QF website.

Got excited and then realised it's only points - meh

Looks like you're correct. I would have placed money on a DSC offer after June.....maybe they'll return after the mass clean-out that will inevitable occur when the last 12 month membership cycle rolls over in 2015/16

My TA currently has a booking held for me from a few days ago which I haven't paid for yet. I've just registered for the promotion - if I go ahead and pay for the booking now, am I eligible for the double points?

I think you'll be OK as long as it is a new booking with a QF flight number.

Shame I booked my travel at the start of the week

 

[dmitri]

Booked 5 flights yesterday and 5 today, bad timing on my part

 

[RooFlyer]

Double points for a week's bookings. They are really flinging $100 bills up into the air with a devil-may-care attitude, aren't they?

Now a week when they would offer double seat availability for travel in a 6 month period, that would actually be useful.

is now on the QF homepage

Where it is currently being spruiked as "double ponts" :shock: Honestly, who is in charge of that website? Incredibly unprofessional look for a major organisation.

The 4th ad on the main page where the advertisement changes right next to the booking module

A bridge too far?
