(Possibly Targeted) Bonus 50% SC’s Book 27/05/19 - 02/06/19 for travel between 27/05/19 - 24/09/19

Just received this and possibly targeted.
The interesting thing is it only mentions it must be a QF marketed flight. No mention that it must be QF operated so would I be correct in assuming codeshares are ok?
Might take a couple of EK flights across the ditch if that’s the case.

Strongly getting the impression that QF are shifting away from general, generous DSC offers and are moving to targeted, less generous SC bonuses.

They are testing the market to see how little they can offer before people bite on an offer.

Did your email have as the title “Fly to <insert destination>”? And this destination was a location you’ve searched recently?

Yes, Singapore. We flew QF SIN-PER only a week ago.

Just got this with "fly to Europe". I've been searching EU, but only on SQ/KF !

Interestingly, unless I'm missing it, the email and T&C do not limit the offer to Int'l flights.

Happily have one for New Zealand.
Husband rarely searches for flights however he is the one that has been getting the targeted emails

It seems like these targeted emails are quite frequent and almost predictable. Maybe we should start posting details of searches and subsequent targets to get an idea of how it works.

For me, I searched from HK to Australia, and a few days later got an offer of 50% points (not SC) if I booked in the next week, for a period in the next 6 months. Bronze member.

it will need to be DSC's for us.
otherwise we shall resort to using points instead.

I got almost the same wording except for QF Points, not DSC.
