So 1100 ~ flight earn can become an additional 100 Sc's, making 1200.

Can confirm, just had my first flights inside promotion period, double SC are credited pretty quick and yes they do count towards 500SC for loyalty bonus, after 1x MEL-LAX-JFK one could select 8k points / 50SC.

qantas not honouring 2017 SC earned towards loyalty bonus count?
Did anyone have any issues like this where it did not count for those SC earned from 2017 campaign and is there anything else I can do other than write them a letter and hope for the best? Help/suggestions much appreciated. It’s very annoying if they change the rules today even for the 2017 promotion retrospectively especially after I had made all the flights I needed to make only still to be short ☹️ to maintain gold now.
Thanks

I earned a loyalty bonus where SC's from the 2017 promotion were included.
However, I'll have to go back and check the timeline.

As indicated, for this year's promotion the extra SC's were excluded from being part of the Loyalty Bonus calculation. However, there were not excluded from last years - there was no such caveat. As such and having being earned on QF marketed and Operated & Trans-Tasman QF Marketed and EK Operated ~ flights, the extra SC's earned from the 2017 promotion are included in the calculation.
I have come across quite a few anecdotes that would confirm this.

Only 20 required and than I can get the 50 SCs which should get me over the line. I really don’t want to take more flights other than what I’ve planned in the next 7 weeks if don’t have to. It’s a little crazy to take flights that a last minute booking will cost a bomb to get 20 more SC.
Although if I have a reason I could be tempted to do weekend away 😜
