All 3K flights from Singapore to KL will not earn points with pius bundle as of yesterday.

All 3K flights from Singapore to KL will not earn points with pius bundle as of yesterday.

The fare rules say they still earn points etc.

 

[ChrisFlyer]

(to the OP) Where does it say this? Nothing on the QFF JQ earning page.

the page where you enter passenger details

[h=3]Departing: Singapore to Kuala Lumpur[/h]
QFF Points and Jetstar Flight Voucher are not available for this route

Only thing I can see is that when booking, the Starter Plus Inclusions when offering the package doesn't specifically list them (for SIN-KUL, although KUL-SIN still has them!), but click through to the fare rules and they are still listed.

Weird, but still applicable on the reverse leg, wonder if its a bug as fare rules are pretty clear.

It looks like a glitch to me...

Cool. So someone tell me why anyone should bother flying QF to SIN then 3K onwards? Seems like KUL is a real middle finger zone for QF Group, what with this and the MH earn table.

How about because 3K can be amazingly cheap, it not all about points at the exclusion of common sense. $100 + is worth how many points to you?

All I'm saying is, assuming that this is a change and not an error/glitch, there was a reason to go through SIN on the way to KUL before. Now there appears not to be a good reason when MH is often cheaper than going via SIN (and obviously less hassle).

If we don't see anything official tomorrow, I'll ask about this at the lunch on Saturday... I've been looking at that route myself (with the Plus Bundle), so I'm curious if there's a reason for the removal, or if it's simply an error resulting from all of the Jetstar QFF changes this week.

Please do ask - when I purchased my SIN-KUL flight on 3K last month, it had the status credits listed under the plus bundle - surely they can't change the conditions after you've purchased the fare with it advertised? I wouldn't have bought the plus bundle if it didn't offer status credits...

Strange not a mention of Jetstar asia being excluded from earning points or SC's.

Earning Frequent Flyer Points and Status Credits.

Starter Fare with Plus Bundle is eligible to earn Qantas Frequent Flyer Points and Status Credits at the Qantas Discount Economy rate, subject to the Qantas Frequent Flyer Terms and Conditions. Points and Status credits are not earned on flights operated by Jetstar Pacific (BL) or Jetstar Japan (GK).

Does anyone really care?

I booked a SIN-KUL ticket on 3K a couple of weeks ago, for the princely sum of 30 SGD, all in (when AK were asking twice that much).

I declined the extra how-many-dollars for the plus bundle on the basis that I didn't think it was worth it (and I don't need the SC's).

Just my 2-bob's worth.

Does anyone really care?

Yes.

My Father is relying on two flights to and from KUL on 3K to get him to Gold.

.

Depending on whether you need the SC or not, will determine if you care. Some do care.

if you're not caring about the status credits, you might be on the wrong website! hehe.

Every SC counts! Especially towards requal and lifetime statuses...

It is possible you've quoted the wrong post?

I did raise this issue today with Kristen (QF social media, so she's well-connected). She hadn't heard anything about it, but as it's technically a JQ issue (ie the inclusions that JQ have set on that particular route's Plus Bundle), she is going to find out and get back to me (and I will then pass that information along). I did point out that SCs were still advertised as 'available' on KUL-SIN, and that the QF site showed no exclusions for the route on the JQ earning page, so it will be interesting what comes of it! In all likelyhood, it's probably just a mistake

 

[GeraldG]

Yes, as I do about 12 return flights a year
