Overnight in CHC ?

Total cost if I can ask ?

I need to book something soon before the cheap seats go

Overnight in CHC, flight gets in at 0020 and next out is 0600. Total cost came to $2,931 so not a cheap run but good per point earning, especially on the return.

May be this is a thing? The register for DSC promo registration link doesn't show on my iPhone QF app homepage. I think it's because I have a flight today and the real estate is taken over by the flight details and boarding pass. Will check after the flight and see if the registration link for the promo appears on the app homepage.

I don’t have a ss from before selecting DSC but it shows up under the flight details for me:

Just wanted to ask - if my gold status is up on 30 June 2026 and I need more SC to stay Gold - I would need to also fly before then to get the DSC and retain gold? Correct?

Yes that is correct if you want them to count for your current membership year.

Correct, but further on from that, it can technically take 8 weeks for the double status credits to hit your account.

So should we just get this out of the road right here and now then?

"Has anyone's DSC posted yet?"

And for those playing along at home....

Some answers courtesy of @henrus from one of the earlier promos....

When's the next DSC Promo? = It hasn't been announced yet but expected shortly.
Will I earn DSC on Alliance? = Yes all QantasLink services including operated by Alliance, National Jet Systems, Network Aviation, Eastern Australia Airlines and Sunstate Airlines are eligible.
Where did all the sale fares go? = Sales and DSC/DP promos don't typically occur at the same time.
Has anyone's DSC posted yet? = DSC's typically take a few days after the flight to post however on the first flight of your DSC promos this can take longer up to several weeks.
Does a QF flight number on EK metal count? = Nope (nor do any other QF flights not operated by Qantas or QantasLink airlines see list above).
Don't talk about Fight Club. = Don't know what you're on about .
Come on! I just booked J flights to XYZ :-( = If booked within 24 hours and departing from AU then you might be eligible for free cancellation otherwise too bad, you're subject to full cancellation if you wish to cancel and rebook (a change doesn't count).
Will I earn DSC for flights I booked 3 months ago? = Nope.
Does this mean there won't be another DSC promo in [month]? = Qantas decide and announce the DSC promos and never give any early indication, there is some consistent patterns with one at the start of most years but as with most things in life, nothing is guaranteed.

And DSC on the AY wet lease QF flights

With CHC did you price this as separate one way tickets or a straight return ex-Oz?

I booked MEL-SYD-CHC directly through QANTAS on one ticket and I booked the return trip via Amex Travel.
