hi guys, currently i am at 480 status credit and short of 120 credit to retain my Gold status. If i booked a flight with 35 status credit (double status credit turn to 70), will i be able to take advantage of the 500 status credit loyalty bonus of 50 credit to make up to 600 (480 + 70 + 50)? i had been told that the double status credit won’t count towards loyalty bonus, does it mean the normal status credit still count towards loyalty bonus, in this case only 35 status credit will count?

The T&Cs of the offer state that the Double SC won't count to the loyalty bonus. Yes, the nCredits al SC will still count.

I am Q platinum and currently at 910 SC for the year. My year ends on April 30. We are planning on flying to LA on April 28, and on to NY on April 30. The current prices are about $1,500 per ticket more than what we usually like to pay to NY, I've just been waiting for next promotion (they never seem to be that far away) to

get the fare we like to pay (a bit under 8K per). Will I need the double SC promotion to get to 1,200 (and retain platinum)? Usually it doesn't both me if I'm gold or platinum if I can save a bit of money.

Does anyone know when booking via one of the discount websites (Expedia etc) if you can see what class fare you're getting? I want to get the double SC offer on an economy flight to London, but prices for the dates I want to travel have jumped right up on the Qantas website.

You would have to ask the website directly what fare they're selling.

I saw the double SCs offer and a $3000 Business class trip to Singapore launch around the same time. That didn't last long. Discount BC flights are now $3500 and if you want to travel on the A380 be prepared to spend close to $4000. Moral of the story, when the offers come out, get in quick. One very positive change to the double SC offer is that I received a confirmation email from Qantas that I was registered. That didn't happen in the past. That will avoid any possible disagreement on whether one has successfully registered or not. Love the double SCs.

Interesting Metoo.... I didn't get confirmation email this time but did last year. Got me worried now as I just booked 20 return trips ! Did anyone else not get a confirmation email? Not sure why you need to register for an offer open to all anyway. Just give double SC's to all bookings within the booking period.

Lawerence, it was the only one I've ever received. In the past I never had a trouble receiving double SCs with promotions. I take screen shots of the Confirmation when registering though. When I have called Qantas on double SCs they pull up the promotion and read through the eligibility criteria and confirm. Here's a copy of the email I was sent. I hope they send an email every time from now on.

I got the email from QF that I was registered but responded to the promo from the email sent to me rather than by the QF website, I would have missed it if it wasn’t for AUSBT , all I saw was cheap fares to Singapore and deleted it, didn’t read the whole email with the double SC further down the page, got it out of the junk and responded, Thanks AUSBT

And yes, I did a confirmatory email confirming that I had been "registered" for double SC
