QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

[encryptededdy]

I was able to get

• QF79 MEL-NRT Dec 25 Business
• QF26 HND-SYD Jan 5 Business

released with no issues. The surrounding dates (Dec 22, 23, 26, Jan 3, 4) were also available. Both were showing I1 on ExpertFlyer.

On the website there were zero Classic Rewards available for this time period in any class of travel (even Economy), so it was a pretty use of the benefit to get these released over the Christmas period.

I think points are increasing in price factor it

Got told by the Hobart Rep that if you do manage to get a ticket booked before the end of the month, unless you change your route entirely, you only pay the change fee points, and either pay or get refunded the class you will now be flying instead.

Of course this is just 1 DP but hope others may have had this confirmation as well.

This was already explained in the other thread:

If I modify an existing OWA after 5 August do I get recalculated at new rates?

No.
All of the tables say this:

Effective for Bookings made up to and on 4 August 2025 (including changes made to these bookings from 5 August 2025).​

You have until 4 August 2025.

Yep, that's why I'm trying to get something booked in prior to 4-Aug.
