Trying to book MEL-CBR-MEL on the same day and this is what I get.
Is it a glitch? I don't want to use points.

No issues for me on a random date in the next month.

I had the same problem. I got past it by choosing this and then changing it to show in currency. But then couldn't enter promo code.

This was a couple of days before your post and it was randomly working and then not working.

My husband also was trying to book flights and instead of CBR it was coming up ADE. We tried on different devices, browsers and from different locations. It was a complete pain in the neck when we were booking tickets for a funeral and ended up flying via SYD because CBR prices went through the roof when we were trying to get past glitches but that could've been back luck too.

When I rang VA they denied any knowledge of a problem with the website. Good luck!
