Utilising the QANTAS AMEX Ultimate Free Flight [QF Spend Required?]

[PaulyB]

It's a new card. Maybe I have to pay the first statement just received. Qantas purchases have been for flights.

Most likely that is it. They generally like you to have paid the first bill. But I am sure they could confirm this if you are unsure...

Can someone please PM me a referral for this card, the first person who PMs me will get it.

Thanks!

Here you go

Took me a couple of goes to get the link right and not sure if PM worked so, just in case...

NoName - thankyou so much! It def did work. $1.94. It took a couple of days to show up but the little plus is there with the sign.

I think the big takeaway for me is that AMEX Call centres just didn't have the sort of level of distinction that a Carbon Credit was included.

Much appreciation

Glad to hear it worked as expected!

Hi all

Back in about March I took advantage of the Ultimate offer and signed up for Amex.

One of the offers is of course a Qantas Free Flight.

I went to book it today and was told I have to have spent something with Qantas first, presumably on Amex, which I haven't done.

But the thing is that I did not recall that qualification at all.

Looking at Qantas Ultimate American Express: 75,000 Points, 75 Status Credits and Return Flight (March 8) I see this entry from exceladdict

• A complimentary return flight on Qantas, after your first QF Air Australia spend (PM me for an easy way to do this),

So clearly it was in practice then. But was there a rider to this previously? I had combed the terms and conditions before I signed up and I just do not recall any such provision. Perhaps I missed it. Could any confirm that this has always been there? Unfortunately I no longer have the terms so I am relying on the online info but I am hoping someone can confirm or deny that I am crazy!!

Thanks
Paul

Interested on taking advantage of this Off-set to qualify for spend on Qantas product. Don't quite understand this, does it mean I have to had taken a flight to offset against this flight?

No you don't need to have taken the flight.

It worked perfectly for me.
