Too good to be true?
Amazing how Best Flights push the very limit of what is reasonable advertising:
Here are the details of the flight you selected:
Name: Qantas 50 % OFF CAMPANION AIRFARES TO Singapore
Price: From $299 return plus taxes
Strictly true so long as the other passenger doesn't mind paying double that and no "sharing" occurs. Likewise, acknowledging it's from Perth in the primary advertising (rather than scrolling down to the fare tables) would be useful.

Still earning QFF points for Birthday Sale?
Do I understand it correctly that if I purchase the Qantas special birthday global sale - say from Sydney to Bali (return), if both I and my companion are QFF members then we would both get the points? How many points? I logged into Qantas website but could not find anything on this. Thanks for any clarification.

The phone number for the Singapore offer takes you to the Singapore Qantas office, which was closed yesterday and today (public holiday). Qantas Australia can't see these fares in their system
