Qantas launches 'Bid Now Upgrade' auction for J upgrades
Qantas will this week launch begin points+pay auctions for business class upgrades on selected domestic and international flights.
- Minimum 3,000 points bid on domestic and 5,000 points on international
- Each bid also needs a cash component, min and max varies but can range from a few hundred dollars to over $1000
- Offer to bid will be invitation-only, skewed towards those who've purchased higher Y fares (eg Flexi/Saver rather than Sale)
- Qantas says Classic Upgrade Rewards will always take priority over Bid Now Upgrades, but could reduce the number of On Departure Upgrade Awards
