Qantas elite status bonus applies as per Qantas Frequent Flyer Terms and Conditions - ticketing carrier should not be relevant.

Also, no elite status, just an "ABN" is required to be eligible to join Qantas Business rewards. *

*ABN: Australian Business Number

Does the travel actually need to have any meaning (or actual travel) to the business holding the ABN
If not, could result in more profitable wandering.

No, it doesn�t. And therefore if anyone in my family doesn�t travel with an ABN in, I encourage them to use mine!

To be clear, base bonus earn is 20% for a level 1 business. A business that earns 15000 in a year becomes a level two and the base bonus earn is 30%.

Whatever the base earn is, if the entire fare is paid with a linked QBR Amex, that base earn is tripled.

With that, the minimum bonus earned for that 7800 point earning flight is 1560.

Are the fares filed in one specific currency, fx USD or Euro and then converted to pos currency or filed by different regions?

International fares used to be calculated based on FCUs (fare construction units), -- I don't know if anyone still uses them, and they wouldn't apply to xONEx fares anyway.. I believe that xONEx fares are priced differently for different points of origin.

They vary by where they are filed. Most are filed in local currency. A lot of the previous deals were due to currency fluctuations when the fares were filed in a local currency, so to avoid that some of those locations now have fares filed in USD or euro. You can check in expertflyer if you look at the routing rules section, which includes the fare basis.

Here is exJNB which was filed in ZAR.
Here is exSEZ in USD. SEZ had a good sale a few years back.

​​​​​I encountered two very strange issues after points change. First, after I changed my ticket with Qantas, the booking reference remained the same but the ticket number changed. Because the booking reference didn�t change, the FFP number I had entered before the rebooking still appeared in the booking management. However, on the boarding passes for several flights that followed, the FFP number was missing. After reissuing, I flew two CX segments, but I initially didn't notice the absence of the FFP number on the boarding passes. It was only after flying a few domestic flights within Malaysia, where MH printed the FFP number below the name on the boarding passes, that I realized this issue. When I received my boarding passes for the remaining DONE3 segment by MH, I noticed that the FFP number was missing after the rebooking. This is likely to affect my mileage accrual, although I'm not certain yet. I had assumed that mileage accrual from CX to AA would take some time, but I only recently discovered the missing FFP number and have since submitted a request for missing miles to American Airlines. I'm currently waiting for their response. Second, I booked a DONE3 ticket, and the booking details showed KUL-PVG as booked in D class. However, the boarding pass showed J class. Since there wasn't much time before boarding when I checked in, I couldn't ask the counter staff why this discrepancy occurred. But I'm curious why the boarding pass class didn't match the booking class.

That happens sometimes during reissues, for some reason it might drop some of the extra information in the reservation. I've had it happen a few times and similarly didn't catch it until later, but it's not a big deal, always keep boarding passes until miles are posted anyway, that's a rule of frequent flying. Also what you noticed about your PNR not changing is normal, only the ticket number changes during a normal reissue. If you end up with a brand new PNR then it means they cancelled your old ticket and created a new one, that's definitely not the norm.

Also don't worry about your boarding pass showing J vs D. A lot of airlines print F, J, and Y as a generic designation of First, Business, and Economy, but doesn't affect your underlying booking class on your ticket.

Hi,
this is about cancellation.
I still have about 9 segments to go,
KUL-NRT 11SEP
HND-GMP 19SEP
ICN-KUL 22SEP
US segments in Dec
I would still want to fly the Asia segments, but cancel the US segment.
can I cancel the US segments now, before taking the Asia segments?

I am traveling now, I am afraid if I call QF on roaming, it will be hefty bill, as it normally takes more than 30 minutes

We�ll need more info to help you.

what was the original routing? Which segments are flown? Why do you want to �cancel� just some segments? (This isn�t allowed since it would turn it into a multi-segment trip and not a RTW and you�re usually just better no-showing)

I am afraid that you cannot add any Asia segments now. If you are flying with ex-CAI ticket, Qantas made some additional restrictions. Such as you cannot visit a city(kul) twice and less maximum segments you can fly in one continent than the one world rules. Your existing Asia segments is already exceed the limit since the airport changing in a same city(nrt-hnd & gmp-icn) will count as one segment. If not flying with ex-CAI ticket, these segments just fit with the one world rules which means you cannot add any Asia segments unless you change them to a same airport in a same city.

The above is the original routing.
My issue was, the ICN-KUL got cancelled because of MH trimming some routes. And my US segments are not as intended, earlier was just to put up a working routine, then optimize later, unfortunately, QF put up lots of restriction thus I have to stick to this routing.

When the above 2 combine, I am thinking to start a new RTW ex-TYO, then I can combine with this RTW from NRT and cancel the rest. But, I am afraid I can't get the new RTW effective if I only start to buy it after I done KUL-NRT in first RTW

Of course you can buy a new RTW wihout regard to any current itinerary which may be in progress. (People here sometimes report having two RTWs underway simultaneously, one 'inside the other' as it were.) If you want to cancel all remaining segments on your first ticket after reaching NRT, you need to refer to the Rules. (You do have a copy of the Rules, don't you?)

Section 16: Voluntary changes / rerouting / penalties
Part (b): Cancellations and Refunds
Paragraph 3: For partially used transportation the refund if any will be the difference between the fare paid and the fare for the transportation used less the fee specified in (1) above.

The reference to (1) specifies that there is a penalty of 10% for L or 5% for D and A

A surface segment counts as one of the 16 allowed but does NOT count in any particular continental zone.
Otherwise my 6 ticketed NA segments plus a surface segment would have made my ticket invalid.
Keep wandering
