They don't exist (on the VA site).
These are VA issued codes for VA fleet only.

Can someone please recommend any working codes for booking return flights for MEL -- CNS in economy. ta

CDX47, for Choice fares and above. Must be 21 days in advance I think for this one also.

I don't think the 21 day advance purchase applies for CDX47 ... I was able to purchase within 21 days ... ITX13 has a 21 day advance purchase clause.

Thanks for clarifying

Does CDX47 not work when using Travel Bank credits?

No codes do from my experience, otherwise, you could effectively get a double discount, so it's best for them to just block it from being used for TB.

I found the same thing this morning. The code worked but when I applied Travel Bank the discount was gone

We successfully used one a couple of months ago.

How did you manage this out of interest?

It's not possible to add a discount code because as soon as you click that you are using travel bank after you enter the dates of travel, it removes the discount code box.
Of course, you can search as though you are not using travel bank and add the discount code, but during payment, if you select you're paying all/some of it with travel bank, it effectively removes the code, so there is no way around this.

Which code was that out of interest?

ITX13 worked for me using Travel Bank ...

Sorry, I've updated my post, I should have asked, how. The above explains it

Let me test this and get back to you ...

Update: tested this out. VA WP here. There is no money left in the Travel Bank, so this test is at best, to show that the user is able to get to the point where they can choose the Travel Bank and there is a difference in the $ ticket value when using & when not using CDX47

Used CDX47 - final $ value $652.78, no funds left in travel bank to proceed further



Did not use CDX47, Final $ amount $717.99. similar to earlier, no funds in travel bank to proceed further



Technically, at this point in time, it is not clear if there were funds in the travel bank and given that I have used CDX47, the payment would have gone thru at the discounted rate. But there seems to be a chance to get to this point without the travel bank not having any impact on the promo code discounted fare.

Interesting!

Yes, I just tried this also, but I don't have funds either to fully test it, I remember it being removed by this method also, as I tried both, but that was a few months ago now.
I would be interested to know if this does work for anyone that has funds

This did not happen to me. Without going into too much *technical* details, I think the discount held. Now all we need is someone with enough balance in their Travel Bank and try to replicate this scenario

With me currently having to cancel everything for the next few months I could be there shortly. Not sure yet how my credits are being applied though. I need a bit longer malingering before I am up to working it through.
