Don't fly much QF so won't make sense for me.

Safe Travels,

I didn't get an email, but was successful to register.

This is very very helpful. May push me to fly QF instead of SQ to Europe

Thanks I have been waiting for this offer and been thinking of routings to get me to WP for a prospective family trip to the US while I have that status.

Registered. Let the bookings begin!

Apologies if this this is a stupid question but does this also apply to bookings not made on qantas.com?

I was just poised to make a multi-carrier booking over the next few days which would include BA, CX and QF. Now I've registered for this offer, will I get the double SCs from the QF flights regardless of where I book it?

Travelup for instance.

The T&Cs for this promotion state (edited to highlight the relevant portions):

This offer is valid when you register and make a new eligible flight booking between 12.01am (AEDT) 1 February 2018 and 11.59pm (AEDT) 5 February 2018 and travel between 12 February 2018 and 20 January 2019. An eligible flight for the purpose of this promotion means any Domestic or International Qantas operated flight with a QF flight number on your ticket where Status Credits are normally earned.....Flights can be booked via the Qantas website, a travel agent or Qantas Contact Centres....

So it would seem that you will qualify provided the QF flights are operated by QF and would normally earn Status Credits.

However please take time to read the full T&Cs via the link for the promotion:

Gah! I booked a J return flight from SFO-SYD a few weeks back... this would have easily got me to retain WP :

Can anyone please clarify whether the bonus status credits on this particular promotion count towards Platinum One?

The T&Cs exclude bonus status credits counting towards the loyalty bonuses (e.g. 8,000 points per 500 status credits earned):

"Bonus Status Credits earned from this offer do not count towards Loyalty Bonus or Platinum One Loyalty Bonus earn requirements."

But, unless I missed something, don't seem to exclude bonus credits counting towards P1 tier attainment (?).

Kiwi Flyer

Yes the bonus SCs count towards status (re)qualification.

serfty

When one thinks about it, the value of a bonus status credit would be diminished if it did not count towards status levels, including P1.

What they won't count towards are the 4 x 50SC or 8K points Loyalty bonus one can ear per year (unlike last year's promotion) or the really high level p1 loyalty bonus levels.

Platy

Thanks!

Platy

I guess you're right - there's absolute no point in having a status bonus if it doesn't count to status tier qualification (although for some reason I had it in my mind that QF were funny about bonus credits counting specifically to P1 - perhaps too much Malbec on last night's flight!).

Good timing Qantas.

Needed to book a couple of BNE-ROK returns for late February. Booking Flex fare as I normally do I can route BNE-MKY-ROK for $263 the same as the direct. So then each return trip will yield me 180 SCs. A good bonus compared to the usual $40 and only a couple of extra hour s of my time.
