New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

Is it just me or the number of posts during DSC week has gone down? Only 23 pages of posts? We usually get more posts isn’t it?

Yeah, there’s a distinct lack of the usual DSC banter and double entendres. I’m making an effort and I’m glad to see others joining in

Just a useless bit of information I've been told, this project and double status credit promo was called "project tostie' internally

IMHO, Qantas really screwed this one up by saying at the start that the status credits earned from this promo wouldn't count towards lifetime status.

The way they ran this promo has made me less interested in chasing lifetime status than I was before. It's made me realise they're experimenting with changes that make it harder to reach. Also the backflip was welcome but was handled poorly, and a bit eye-opening that they can just change the promo T&Cs a few days into the booking period. They really should have extended it by a day or 2.

Yea…this is my understanding of what a PNR is ..
PNR is basically like an envelope that’s addressed to a passenger. You can put routes and dates into the envelope, you can add/remove/modify the routes and dates that you have already put it to the envelope.

@Ade, I hope that you're right: I plunged a few $k into a couple of "envelopes", hoping to "re-send" them to their correct destination soon. QF gave me the 4002 error multiple times (somehow, I was able to get a couple to go through) - every time I see that loading page with the dog, I now get anxiety.

Even better when you have a travel agent who knows how to put more then 1 ticket (for the same person) into a single PNR.

@Himeno, I thought about combining them but as it's my first time pre-emptively purchasing, I thought separating them might be best - I will just pay the extra change fee. I did enquire with a travel agent friend of mine but they couldn't get the same fares that were on the QF website.

The change fee is per booking, not flight sector.

@FlyingKangaroo - thank you for the confirmation. This will be a new experience for me in the (hopefully) near future.

WP + PC - just check but nada so they are obviously working through it in a random way...

@RSD, I can confirm that mine arrived on the 2nd.

Does anyone have experience with bookings made in the booking period but before clicking “register for double status credits” in the app?

No flame please - asking for a friend.

@muppet, I had some issues last time where I booked flights once the sale was announced but before I received the e-mail. I was told that these wouldn't count. I then deleted those bookings and had to re-create them. I think that my situation was a little bit different to yours though.

Copy-pasting in case it gets removed, also the bolded section would suggest there's a DSC coming.
