Question - Qantas Gift Vouchers?

Adam.S · #1 26th December 2013, 01:05 PM

Hi there,

I recently received a Qantas Gift Voucher and after reading through the Terms and Conditions, I am still unsure if I (as a QFF member) will accrue status credits on the flight that I redeem my gift voucher on.

If flights booked on a gift voucher are eligible for status credits; will they also qualify for the 'double status credits' promo offer Qantas are currently running if the flight was booked (and travelled) within the promo period?

Cheers.

Yes, and yes, as long as you have first registered for the double SC promotion. More to be found at AusBT.com.au

Thanks Yusef. Yes, I have already registered with the promotion so hopefully the flight I take using the gift voucher is eligible for the double credits.

Cheers.

If I use Gift Vouchers to book flights, can I earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points for that service, i.e. earning double points?

Eg. If I buy a $100 voucher, spend $95 on SYD - MEL, so I can earn 1000 points for the voucher and 1000 points for the flight?

Most definitely!

These vouchers are great value and I have stocked up very well for this year of flying!

10 points per $1 on the voucher
0-2 points per $1 from your credit card

Then 1000 or more points from redeeming the voucher/flying

So for me
12 x points per $1
No credit card fee

1000+ points for the flight

So for say a $100 spend on a voucher, I value the points etc at $95 so it's a very very very good value proposition.

Now for QF of course a chunk of voucher will never be used, just like any other gift card provider

Which $5 not used is still cheaper than $7 booking fee.

Of course, but if you have left-over value say $5 on the voucher.

You can book another flight for $$ and just pay the difference on a credit card, and no booking fee again

It does get a bit messy managing the vouchers at times, as when you use one, the remaining $ is created into a new voucher/booking reference number.
