G'day all who may be reading this,
Just wondering how (cheap!) easy if shall be to get the 115 required status credits before Dec 31st? Especially regarding the rules relating the the DOUBLE STATUS BONUS email from qantas.
Just had a quick flight check (for Sat Nov 10th) with the following results:
One way flight from Melb - Laun : Jetstar $93 Red e-deal (extra $20 for QFF Points?) (OR) Melb - Hobart: Jetstar $92 e-deal (again QFF extra cost allowed?)
Also:
Melb -- Syd (QF : $119) + Syd --- Bris (QF : $119) (Total - $238.00)
Melb -- Syd (JQ: $89.00) + Syd -- Bris (QF : $119) (Total - $218.00)
Wont continue with quotes, as I'm still a new one on this issue.
Main questions:
1) Will jetstar flights be included in the double status credits? (when I tick yes on the box to spend more on QFF points)
2) What could be the cheapest / easiest way to do a status run (with double credits on offer before December) while still only in discount economy (sale fares / not rich to pay 10x cheap price).
Cheers to all.
PS: About to soon book a return flight for 2 to HK for next year. With the use of QFF points (CC bonus points over the 12 months), it shall cost us less then $300 in total for the return flights. (70 SC should be made: Melb / Syd / HK ---- HK / Melb). Just bad luck it can't be included in the bonus!
