Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

[DejaBrew]

I hope the interns haven't broken anything with the new DSC. (Also I don't think I can easily claim this as it was a points flight club movie).

Indeed. In my case, it has implications for Status (and I don't mean just LT)....

For me -:

PNR 1:
OOL>MEL (posted)
MEL>AKL (posted)
AKL>MEL (posted)
MEL>OOL (posted)

PNR2:
OOL>MEL (posted)
MEL>AKL (posted)
AKL>SYD (regular SC going on several days now)
SYD>OOL (regular SC going on several days now)

PNR3:
OOL>MEL (regular SC going on several days now)
MEL>AKL (regular SC going on several days now)
AKL>SYD (regular SC going on several days now)
SYD>OOL (regular SC going on several days now)

So PNR1 is fine. PNR2 is clearly earning DSC but has failed to post for the full itinerary. PNR3 is pending all DSC.

Strewth. Did you do those consecutively?

I saw various posts about your status run and was starting to think, “geez this is going on a bit”.

Three.

That’s brutal.

 

[DejaBrew]

Strewth. Did you do those consecutively?

Yep, 14 flights in 4 days.

Three.

That’s brutal.

Much more than I’d normally look to do in one hit, but there was method to the madness.

Actually just for data points since iirc you did this very recently as well i wonder what date your PNR 2 AKL > SYD was. My NRT > BNE (posted) was Sep 1 and BNE - MEL (DSC missing) was Sep 2.

Edit: As I typed this I checked my QF App and it just rolled in.

I agree on madness.

Interested in the method though. PM if reqd.

Sep 2nd as well. You got my hopes up and I just checked the app, but sadly mine haven’t rolled in yet. For clarity on data points…

PNR2:
OOL>MEL (Sep 1st, DSC posted Sep 3rd)
MEL>AKL (Sep 1st, DSC posted Sep 3rd)
AKL>SYD (Sep 2nd, DSC pending)
SYD>OOL (Sep 2nd, DSC pending)

PNR3:
OOL>MEL (Sep 2nd, DSC pending)
MEL>AKL (Sep 2nd, DSC pending)
AKL>SYD (Sep 3rd, DSC pending)
SYD>OOL (Sep 3rd, DSC pending)

No secret squirrel stuff. Had some DSC bookings that needed to be used in my current member year and it’s part of my plans for fast tracking to LTG.

Don’t you mean LTP?

Clearly there is fast tracking... and then there is fast tracking...

 

[DejaBrew]

PNR2 and half of PNR3 have now posted, so happy days!

 

[Flyfrequently]

DSC landed within 2 business days for half of my flights between Sunday and Wednesday. Nothing since. Taking their sweet time to award the bonus DSC for the remaining flights

Patience grasshopper, probably scratching their heads with your itinerary @DejaBrew

Sorry to revive an old thread - but I'm in the same boat as some here. One set of flights to catch a movie in another city have posted regular credits but not the doubles. Been around a week now.

I flew August 29 and had those two flights credit for the DSC on Sep 3, and then two flights on September 2 which credited September 6.

FWIW, I'd made no changes to the reservation post-booking, and no major schedule changes (have always wondered if that would complicate anything).

Curiously, partner's double points took several days longer, and all four flights only showed up yesterday.

Thank you for that - will keep an eye out. Sometimes they do take a while longer, I just wasn't sure if it had anything to do with the changes I made.

Wow, that's a hell of a SC run!

 

[DejaBrew]

Wow, that's a hell of a SC run!

That wasn't quite all of it either

 

[FlyingKangaroo]

That wasn't quite all of it either

Genuinely curious if you don't mind me asking--- if you're self-funding this, do you actually feel you get more value than you put in? Even when you're nearing ~5c/SC as I know this run can do, it's a lot of money.

Is the aim lifetime status?

 

[mviy]

I probably should do a positioning flight to OOL and do a run from there sometime, though probably not anytime soon.

I don’t know the reasons for DejaBrew’s trip.

I haven’t booked this, but why I would be tempted to book this for leisure is that QF initially had the latest offer not count to lifetime status and then backtracked on that. QF could easily decide to have future offers not count to lifetime status so progressing quickly towards lifetime status with DSC offers that do count could save a significant amount of time and money later.
