Qantas offers free Sydney-Dallas business class upgrade (and yes, there's a catch...)

In brief: Heading to Dallas in August or September this year or December to March 2012? Want to book a premium economy fare on Qantas' 747-400 and get a free bump into business class?

That's the deal on offer from Qantas and American Express. Book a premium economy return ticket in July for the QF7-QF8 services between Sydney and Dallas/Forth Worth, with travel from August 1 to September 30 or December 2 to March 31 2012, and for one of those two legs you'll be upgraded to business class.

You'll find all the details at https://enroll.amexnetwork.com/US/QAN07-001. Now here's the bad news: according to the fine print, this promotion is limited to American Express cards issued in the USA.

Well, it's good news if you happen to have a US-issued Amex card. But we'd much rather see this great deal offered to Qantas' Australian customers... you know, the ones that Alan Joyce complains are not flying in sufficient numbers on the Red Roo?
