This is a woeful offer when compared to the BP offer that came out overnight of $50 with no minimum spend and valid for 12 months.

Checkout the Qantas New Partner - BP thread.

Minimum spend $500 with $30 voucher on overpriced hotels? Woeful.

I've had a few of the $25 JQ hotel vouchers and booking a hotel for $71/night that Agoda and others have for $60/night so the voucher value is $15 or less.

Some of the hotels have been >$90/night where Agoda is $60/night so all the $25-$30 vouchers do is bring it to the available rate on other websites.

I’ve actually found pretty similar or better on QF Hotels - searching through TripAdvisor is interesting when you look at the list of “Deals”. But still, $30 with a 6 wk UBD is pretty ordinary. Apart from the regular stream of $50 vouchers, I did receive a random $25 voucher with a 4yr UBD! Used that one recently - because I could.

That may depend on the country/city?

There are around 25-30 hotels I want to stay in Pattaya and up to 10 hotels in Chiang Mai and Qantas hotels are usually not competitive if not for the $25-$30 hotel voucher.

I'd guess once you get above $100-$150/night it becomes competitive?

No, across the board in most markets. Just booked / stayed in so so places doing a NZ road trip. Oz, USA and UK etc comparable to most OTAs.

Could be a forex thing in some countries?

Could be a forex thing in some countries?

Possibly. I only use QF/JQ hotel vouchers in Thailand and can easily see the differences.
