The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

Cant seem to pay with points on the app, tying to use 6900 at 15% disc points for a flight MEL -> ADL, plus $54.xx in taxes.
But it will let me book a rev tix on the website.
There is a 25% off classic rewards seats, the seats show available, but it keeps asking for my email address and mobile ph #, filled/type it in, and an error code keeps coming up, and the details keep disappearing.
They are happy to sell us a rev tix, but to use points, nope.
(((Can do better, Qantas))).

For Tdimdad, mines next to the shopping trolley.

Are you logged in?

The screen shot suggests you’re not. Can’t use points if not logged in.

Maybe try a different browser or clear cache / cookies.

QBR site seems to be broken today.
It was working earlier.

I just got an error/warning stating that they've upgrade the authentication and to try deleting browser cookies (which should force a new authentication for the device/browser).
 
If you're actually looking to book this, the multi city option (just putting in the single flight) is showing the right amount.

It was the LA84 flight in the OP’s post but you’d have to pay me 19+ mil QF points to do that or LA90 or LA92! Don’t those people sleep? It’s not Argentina…😂

Haha I didn't even look so just took a random screenshot but you don't like 3:51am flights departures? (I'm a night owl but even this is a stretch)

If it were EZE or even AEP, you’d have to rush dinner to make a 03:51 flight! 😂
 
Looks like Qantas is still testing their new authentication system. It would’ve been nice if they gave us a heads-up about these updates beforehand to avoid all these glitches during the booking process
