Qantas forgot to deduct points?

It is really not a good idea to discuss this

One could say the topic was dead and buried until a post was made today some 20 months after the last one!

I’ve had luck with something similar once. Upgraded but they never took the points, flew in the said cabin. It’s been a few years they have not come knocking yet.

I have cancelled two classic rewards last year, they also didn’t apply the penalty.

Probably just second rate IT systems at play.

Jetstar had a thing where you could upgrade to a flex fare the cancel for the refund which also refunded the change fees etc. That loophole or coughpy IT issue seems to have been fixed.

Same. I considered it quiet karma for all the times I lost the Qantas IT roulette game during Covid.

Never look a gift horse in its mouth.

You realise the more people post this thread the more likely it is that this will end badly. If you get a bank error in your favour just keep it to yourself.
