QF Double Status Credits February 2026 Promo

[DejaBrew]

From what I understand, be prepared to have your plans finalised and booked during the promo next time. The cinema is being shut down.

They’ve said that previously…. Hopefully they won’t mean it next time.

 

[mviy]

Well, I have certainly made the most of it.

 

[CaptJCool]

Well, I have certainly made the most of it.

I made the most of it
ZERO Bookings

 

[J-P]

I’ve said too much already….

They're banning fight club?!

 

[RooFlyer]

Heard it from the horse's mouth!

 

[azza_1992]

Booked a flight during the double status credits promo for travel on Monday 2 March - the day before the eligible travel period (3 Mar 2026 to 12 Feb 2027)

Pleasantly surprised to see double status credits awarded!

 

[DejaBrew]

Sounds like @azza_1992 wins the prize for first mention of DSCs having successfully posted

For now…

I’ve heard QF is cracking down on various loopholes in future promos - but not implemented for this one.

Does that mean if I need to change the date of my flight later the DSC won’t apply for future DSC offers?

It currently means nothing. Pure speculation on the part of the poster. Qantas has known about this matter for a decade and chosen to do nothing about it each year. Indeed, it was a Qantas representative (Red Roo) who tipped many people off to it. People started predicting its demise in 2016-17. Any day now...

Cool. Thanks

I don’t see how it’s an issue for Qantas. I’ve booked a flight to LA in January 2027. If a personal or work matter comes up and I’ve got to move it a couple of days, I should get the DSCs

 

[Pushka]

Flight at 8am Tuesday (first day) DSC landed yesterday. Must have been in the evening sometime.

There's were some additional terms introduced for this promotion. One related to frequent flyer number as mentioned upthread. Given that normally, the FQTV is applied per segment I can't see how they could assess that for bookings.

Spoiler: Terms

Inflight per-syd right now, normal SCs have posted in the air but dsc nowhere to be seen!!! Qf really need to get their act together

Pleasantly surprised to say they have actually posted now, does seem faster than dsc in the past.

I'd be surprised if Fight Club and The Cinema were shut down. In each and every one of these promotions, year after year, QF would have two very clear data points:

1. The volume and value of flights booked during the booking period, and
2. The volume of Fight Club and Cinema entries sought and bought.

Now, item 1 is all self explanatory.

But, item 2, I would hazard a guess, is a reasonably significant number in the overall scheme of things in terms of volume of entries bought*. Certainly on a trend basis, there would be a bump up in numbers.

What QF should realise, and I am sure that they do realise this, is that these entries bought are actually bringing forward and locking in passengers future purchase decisions. And these are purchase decisions that either:

(a) would never have been made if these entries were not available to be bought. This is the case where people simply plan to do a status run, or
(b) when there are genuine travel plans in mind (i.e. not a status run) this removes/heavily influences the future option of the passenger choosing a different airline to make that travel as they have purchased the entry to the Fight Club and The Cinema already and they will be inclined to use that entry to maximise the outcome to them. Price and non-price differentials between airlines on the day of booking that travel is less likely to play a role in the decision when the doors to the Fight Club and The Cinema are about to be opened.

QF would risk losing this revenue - if indeed it is a significant level of revenue.

From a strategic perspective:

(a) Being able to lock in today a customers future purchase decision, and​

(b) Eliminating the competition from that future decision making process, and​

(c) Being able to influence a customer to make a purchase that they otherwise wouldn't normally make (i.e. a status run)​

are all highly valuable levers that have positive upside for QF with little to no negative downside.

*(And if the volume of Fight Club and The Cinema entries bought and eventually redeemed are actually insignificant then why would QF bother to spend money to make changes in all of their systems to thwart the sale of a few of these entries - they simply wouldn't as they could spend their IT change project money elsewhere for a better outcome).

Just my two cents worth.

But sometimes button pushes can't think like that. They just see it as "oh they're breaking the rules lets stop that" without understanding the deeper implications and knock on effects etc.

On a side note, movie set for next week.

2. The volume of Fight Club and Cinema entries sought and bought.

QF would probably be hoping many of those in #2 would shift into #1 if they stopped Fight Club.

The other issue for QF is whether #2 is causing issues for them elsewhere - eg if a lot of seats are getting sold in small regional cinemas, those sessions appear full or in high demand, but then everyone ends up not being able to make it and later changes to other sessions elsewhere.

 

[GrahamBRI]

eg if a lot of seats are getting sold in small regional cinemas, those sessions appear full or in high demand, but then everyone ends up not being able to make it and later changes to other sessions elsewhere.

This may also be assisting them, in allowing them to sell tickets at much higher ticket prices due to the high advanced booking demand……. From my experience, those regional cinemas are still packed on the day. No price gouging here, just market response

 

[Invisible Monkey]

I’ve said too much already….

From what I understand, be prepared to have your plans finalised and booked during the promo next time. The cinema is being shut down.

That would be a mistake and would result in substantially less bookings. Seems like a pointless crackdown that would damage sales and piss off their customers.

So on the 22nd of Feb (before DSC started) I cancelled my LATAM operated points flight SYD to SCL and grabbed the QF operated business points ticket that came up. Flew March 2nd. Double status points showed up in my account
