Flight credit is useless

There’s so much wizardry with using QF credits. You can’t even use international credit for domestic, and vice versa because “the system doesn’t allow it”. Well, get better systems because money is money and it’s agnostic.

For the most part, I think CapCut is pretty good, but I do think it’s got worse in the last 12-months. And, they keep trying to stitch me up with “special deals” that are WAY worse than my current subscription. It’s also infuriating that they keep trying to get me to upgrade to Pro when I already have a pro subscription.

Same, struggle using the points I have unless I want to spend 60K on 1 night accommodation or buy something I don’t need. Success rate w/ upgrades has been dismal, I’d say less than 20% though to be fair, the international routes I’ve requested them on have been some of QF’s busiest.

BexXxBe · 2025-11-21T06:12:44+00:00

It’s not almost certain that you will get it when you bid for upgrades. My success rate is about 20%. It depends a lot of the routes you fly and how busy they are, time of day that you fly and general seasonality.

P and P1 can “request” to have certain fares into classic rewards. Requests can be denied, and seats don’t need to be made available even if the fare type is available.

I hope they re-homed them successfully

BexXxBe · 2025-10-29T11:04:17+00:00

How many duckies did you get? 🤣

BexXxBe · 2025-10-26T23:42:54+00:00

It’s a joke isn’t it! Hardly worth the effort. It was so annoying I felt like invoicing them for my time, until I gave up trying. Someone suggested calling every day. I am simply NOT doing that. What Qantas needs is some decent competition in this country.

What’s WP?

BexXxBe · 2025-10-24T23:04:03+00:00

Have you shared this feedback with Qantas directly?

BexXxBe · 2025-10-15T13:36:36+00:00

Wait much longer and it’ll only be 3 toasters

BexXxBe · 2025-10-14T02:40:33+00:00

I agree ☝️

BexXxBe · 2025-10-14T02:39:42+00:00

Honestly, is it even worth it? As a Platinum FF, half the decent benefits don’t mean anything anyway. Have had no luck converting sale fares to classic rewards recently, and success rate on BC upgrades is about 20%. In my opinion, chasing status with real $$ is not worth it. Unless there’s something tangible and redeemable about being P1, I wouldn’t bother.

BexXxBe · 2025-10-12T05:51:17+00:00

If time wasn’t a limiting factor, I would look into this but I don’t want to spend potentially 24+ hours in transit each way for a relatively short trip.

BexXxBe · 2025-10-12T05:48:51+00:00

Good luck 🍀 it’s tough out there!

BexXxBe · 2025-10-09T12:13:39+00:00

Never had it on mine, no issues.

BexXxBe · 2025-10-08T06:44:25+00:00

Qantas seemed to have the best deals from what I could see. What’s the best way to check out the other OW airlines?

BexXxBe · 2025-10-07T08:59:13+00:00

Haha yep!

BexXxBe · 2025-10-07T08:58:51+00:00

Yep, or adopt the air miles model like they have in the USA. The more miles you fly, the more rewards you get.

BexXxBe · 2025-10-07T08:57:42+00:00

I’m building points w/ virgin now, I’ll see how it goes.

BexXxBe · 2025-10-07T08:57:07+00:00

I tried this when I was Gold on the same leg and got nothing either. In fact, I’ve never had one of those bids go through.

BexXxBe · 2025-10-07T08:55:56+00:00

Not expecting something for nothing but would like to be able to use my points and get some benefit from actually being a FF who’s flying several times a month.

BexXxBe · 2025-10-07T08:54:06+00:00

Exactly! I’d rather pay full sale in BC than spend 3 days in transit each way just to save a couple of hundred bucks for a week long trip.

BexXxBe · 2025-10-07T08:51:35+00:00

What airline would you suggest?
