Points upgrade from Prem Economy to Business cost confusion

[MH_fan]

On the QF website, it states that a points upgrade from east coast Australia to the UK is 60000 points each way but the booking I have is saying it's 66000. I'm confused. Can someone clarify this for me?

Back in November the points required for many upgrades were increased. If you applied before the changes were announced back then you'll get the old rate. If not for any upgrades approved from Feb 20 (i.e. last month) the new rate would apply.

66,000 points is the new rate.

There was an increase from 60,000 to 66,000 on 20 Feb.

The two charts should be here: https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/dyn/f...onal-classic-upgrade-reward-to-business-class

Thanks but that chart says it's 60000 points from Prem Economy or Flexible Prem Economy to Business. The 66000 points is Flexible Economy to Business and this is for upgrades after Feb 20. So I'm still confused...but if it's 66000 points, then I'll just have to accept it.

Are you booked into Class T? It looks like class T is treated as Flexible Economy if you read the ~~~ notes.

Bingo! Thanks. It all makes sense now. Clearly a case of simpler and fairer!
