This would be good of the stay by date is longer

True, but considering this is the second similar offer in two months, I wonder if these might become a bit of a regular fixture for Qantas Hotels.

Buyer beware. We checked a few options for a trip to europe in June. For the promo dates Qantas Hotels were substantially more expensive than Expedia, Booking etc. Those bonus points don’t come for free! I suspect the Qantas website adds a premuim during the promo period.

A good way to check is search through TripAdvisor and click on “All deals” and it will list the price by various sites. Now, that’s not foolproof because the cheaper rates might be non-refundable v flex or different room type etc.

I usually find QF and Expedia pretty similar for a like for like room/conditions but I’ll use Booking.com or other reputable sites if they’re significantly cheaper. If it’s much the much, I’ll take the QF points when not booking direct with the hotel.

Well QF Hotels was a sleeve over Expedia. Hence the similarity

And most my early bookings before 30 June are done so yeah
What to do, what to do

I had almost the opposite situation. I was trying to book a hotel direct (in Australia) and checked some other booking sites too and the hotel is unavailable almost everywhere for my dates but on Qantas Hotels it is available. Works well because the hotels only take Visa/ Mastercard direct but I can use Amex through Qantas Hotels so double dip points + travel insurance benefits that I'd otherwise not be getting. The hotels I was looking for this booking at are small/ boutique providers not chain hotels.
