The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

[hakkinen5]

Hi, I may need to do a status run mid year, which I would book if a DSC offer comes out. As I'm a Points Club Member I would book this on points. My question is for reward bookings, if for example I book Melbourne to Brisbane, and select a displayed flight option that goes via Sydney (i.e. 2 flights), do I get Status Credits awarded for each flight? Or because it is a reward booking, does it just look at origin and destination when calculating SC earn. I know if it was a revenue flight I'd get credit for 2 separate flights, but I thought I had read that being a reward flight it may be calculated differently?

No you will get partial SC earn for both legs provided there are 2 flight numbers.

You'll get status credits per sector. Note that the cash surcharges are higher the more sectors you have.

You will get SC per sector as long as it's separate flight numbers. So a MEL-SYD-BNE in business Classic Rewards would earn 18+18 SC in one direction (double that during DSC).
