Try to think of it from QF’s point of view. “Get ‘em hooked on status with some easy dealing, then withdraw the discounts so they stay buying the product since they are hooked”.
|
in all fairness QF could offer DSC only for ticket PEY above, or could even restrict it to business fares above. Reality is premium cabin is a cash cow anyways and really I would only book premium travel during DSC. Economy tickets are just sold to pay for cost of operation but profit really comes from those cabin, thus DSC to sweeten to encourage take up premium cabin is win-win. Qantas you reading this? Try it out!

QF have offered me a targeted 50% SC bonus for Oz - LHR flights. Too late - I’ve already booked cheaper with someone else.
edit: I have not previously checked these flights on the QF web site. |

Even worse, the Qantas 50% London offer is only on premium cabins.
On Qantas, PE from Aus to LHR is $5.5 - 6K at a minimum. For that price, you can often obtain a full business class trip on Cathay or Finnair. What a terrible offer. |

If I buy a ticket on a plane it is because I want to get from A to B or receive some other service or benefit that I value and this benefit exceeds the cost of the airline ticket. For another person they may have a lower or higher threshold of value than I. |

Surely you only ever by a product or service because you want it and you see it satisfies a need, not because of some glossed up promo or advertising.

For another person they may have a lower or higher threshold of value than I. You may need a plane from A to B, but WHICH plane comes down to the value proposition. |
