Nice. Might make a booking or two.

What I really want though is double credits for international once that opens up, but that may not even be this year.
 
Domestic only, no good for prospective NZ bookings unfortunately.

Will make some prospective classic award bookings and expect Points Club SC to be eligible for a double serve, based on previous experience when Points Club launched. Free cancellation on these too, given they're booked before 31 Apr.
 
Pretty short window to make the booking in and I noticed it's timed to end before the Fed Gov's half-price tickets program will start.
 
Cancel and rebook?
Don't take a flight credit as you keep an existing booking reference and hence won't earn DSC. Cancelling outright may work but its doubtful that you could get money back in time to take advantage of this.
 
Interesting - got another 25SC to get my fast track bonus, this should make that relatively easy target a little easier on the wallet.

Double SC usually come through straight away for these promotions on QF?
 
Double SC usually come through straight away for these promotions on QF?

Usually in 3-4 days but officially can take up to six weeks. They should back date to the date of travel, so even if they don't come through immediately they should retrospectively count to your fast track (might need manual intervention from QFF support)
 
This is a no brainer and the first of many.

And those being annoyed no international... well there is no international flying.

You can bet your house on this that there will be more promos as time goes on. So don't panic.

Also I feel things could be magical (note the wording in the faq above)
