Qantas Jetstar [award] cancellation

[zzzhobbes]

Booked a trip to Tokyo next year with Qantas points but flying Jetstar
What will it cost me. To cancel ? Noting it on Jetstar Prepaid Taxes Points anything else
as we may have a new one on the way

Should cost you 5,000 points per person only, the standard fee for an award cancellation.

And are the taxes refunded as cash, or as credit etc for a later flight? I'm tired of hearing stories of people not being able to use credit for later flights.

Never cancelled Jetstar but cancelled a Qantas reward recently and had my points back within 2 days and credit to my credit card within 4 days

Refund to the original credit card.

It's one of the most attractive aspects of QFF awards for me. Book early as a placeholder, and then cancel for 5,000 points when something better comes along, as it usually does. And then buy a case of wine if necessary to offset the loss of 5,000 points.

Hopefully it was a Classic/Partner award both ways because if one way is an award and one way a paid fare the whole ticket takes on the more restrictive fare conditions.
