Qantas to No Longer offer a Points option for Loyalty Bonus

[serfty]

For those that have been around for a while, am I remembering correctly that the points loyalty bonus option originally came into being as a replacement for Upgrade Credits which you received upon reaching certain thresholds? (I’m talking 20 years ago or thereabouts).

You are correct. Earning of UC went the way of the dodo IIRC in May 2005 being replaced with the Loyalty Bonus.

Or perhaps a little before May 2025

The T&Cs have been updated, titled wef 15 September but definitely uploaded after that (not sure of the exact time but don’t think it was before the 16th).

I have queried this with QFF and they are holding firm, they won’t process points manually even though they breeched their own T&Cs.

Thankfully the airline advocate will hear complaints in relation to FF T&Cs (specifically listed as an area of their jurisdiction).
