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" ,

"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.

 

[Jacques Vert]

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?

 

[Blackadder]

How many extra points for $100?

1600

 

[fletty]

1600

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

 

[Enares]

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.)

 

[Captain Halliday]

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.

Depends on your FF situation.
For me as a self funded FF no where near leveling , points are more beneficial to me.

But you said you paid $100 more?

If correct that's very silly to rebook for the sake of 1600 points which aren't nearly worth that much.

 

[Invisible Monkey]

I posted the below in the Status Run Master Thread, my view is anything below $4 per SC is worth considering.

"Melbourne to Brisbane return in Business - one way paid, the other way points - works out at $3.96 per SC if booked during this DSC promo window. Struggling to find better earn rate for domestic routes out of Melbourne.

$698 + 29,000 points business return for 176 SC.

I believe 120 SC for the paid flight and 56 as a PC member for the classic reward flight. Please correct me if I'm mistaken."
