QF Double Status Credits May 2026

I don’t expect this campaign will stimulate bookings at the overpriced fares level

Last week I priced ADL-CBR (Y fares one way) 14 weeks ahead. Non-stop at $229, now $326, increase 42.4%. If fly via MEL, last week was $254, now $390, increase 53.5%.

That's just the normal fare buckets at play and domestic sale fares last week.

Exactly there was a sale on at the time, hardly a valid comparison

Do I dare ask about gift cards?
Interesting when you are randomly wandering?

I wonder how it would work if you booked AKL-APW with this offer? I know it's not trans-Tasman, but it shares a flight number with SYD-AKL so who knows how QF's famously good IT would interpret that.

"a flight ticket directly between Australia and New Zealand" ,

From NZ QF actively sell AKL/WLG/CHC/ZQN - AU - International. Different flight number TT and the next flight. Wonder if TT flight would credit as DCS.
From NZ QF for AKL/WLG/CHC/ZQN - AU - AU expect would credit as DCS. Not everyone has the main airports as final destination. Same travel on to regional AU airports.

i wonder whether external territories such as CCK and NLK are considered domestic or international for this promotion.

fI’m Flying BNE-ADL today off the DSC offer before last.

Flights booked in till October off the back of the last DSC offer.

I also note the lack of feverish activity on the thread for this offer, compared to the feeding frenzy around past offers.

Methinks QF is milking the DSC cash cow a bit too hard.

Cancelled my SYD-HBA-SYD for Wednesday and rebooked for the promo (took the points , as I'm not near leveling up). Figured double points for an extra $100 was to good to say no to.

How many extra points for $100?

How many extra points for $100?

1600

1600

So 6c a point? Doesn't seem remotely worth it to me.

Hmm, I'm considering flights. MEL<-> NTL BC would net 160 DSCs for $872. I'm sure it could be better, but I've only really thought about prioritising SCs in the last 12 months.

Although the status run tool is showing 200 DSCs for MEL->NTL->ADL or MEL->ADL->BNE, but I think that is only one way for $870.

Oh, MEL<-> CHC BC can net 320 DSCs for $1500+ ? (I'm guessing some of the cheaper fares sold out by the looks of it.)

With LTG in the bag and no prospect of retaining WP, I’m sitting this one out.

But it never hurts to look.

I can still see some options for 520 SC at $3.75 per SC.

Happy hunting.
