Hey folks!

Today I was looking around Qantas hotel's site for a room in Vegas, and I found a bug/scam/error in booking using points.

When you go to pay cash, the big red button says (for example): $466 and the little message above it will say "Includes fees of $104.87 (approx) payable in local currency on check-out." And on click thru it will state total payable $465.27 (360.40 + 104.87)

However when you click "Use Points + Pay" the default option it still says ""Includes fees of $104.87 (approx) payable in local currency on check-out." and shows you: 5000 Points + $329.25 which looks like a damn good deal, until you click through and it comes up total $434.12 (329.25 + 104.87)

So basically QFF will quote you total price when paying cash, but quote you without the fees when Points + Pay.

Is this a case of false advertising? Should I bother bringing it to ACCC?


Cheers.

P.S Screen shots available upon request, and sorry if this has been brought up before.
 
The other option is that you could contact QF hotels and ask them to honour the lower rate as advertised?
