Jetstar has a great deal where you purchase any voucher, and receiver another to 10% of the value. This is an awesome way to save a further 10% off your fares. Trick is to buy just below the value of a fare you have in mind, so you don't forfeit the balance. You can use multiple vouchers to purchase a fare. Remember you also save on credit card booking fees, as Jetstar don't charge fees for payments with vouchers. Good luck!

Link to the voucher page is here.

Buy $50 voucher, get free $5 voucher
Buy $100 voucher, get free $10 voucher
Buy $200 voucher, get free $20 voucher
Buy $300 voucher, get free $30 voucher
Buy $500 voucher, get free $50 voucher

Jetstar Gift Vouchers are valid for only 6 months from issue date

    Get Another FREE to 10%

    that sounds confusing…

    • Dionysus on 05/05/2015 - 11:46

      Agreed

      10% off vouchers?

    • marquise on 05/05/2015 - 11:48

      It's more like 10% bonus?

        more like 9% off

      • su27km on 05/05/2015 - 11:41

        that's good, so additional 10% off on price match!

        that's about total 20% off with Tiger price.

    6 month expiry for those wondering and "If a change is made after the expiry date the full value of the gift voucher will be forfeited." which seems a tad harsh!?

    • su27km on 05/05/2015 - 11:45

      thanks. only 6 months

  • su27km on 05/05/2015 - 11:45

    how long the gift voucher last? 1 year?

    • marquise on 05/05/2015 - 11:47

      6 months

          Why would you buy one if these anyway unless you know you are soon to buy flights for a trip?

    If the airfare is less than the voucher amount. You forfeit the balance.

    • isdnman on 05/05/2015 - 11:57

      Also if you are even just a few cents off and you need to pay the balance by credit card.
      You will be hit with the full credit card 'surcharge'.

      • carlenet on 05/05/2015 - 11:59
        +4

        Just pay the balance by bank transfer then as there's no charge involved.

        • [Deactivated] on 05/05/2015 - 13:19
          +1

          Jetstar won;t allow you to pay the balance by bank transfer (the option gets removed as soon as you apply a voucher). However you can pay the balance using POLI (which is basically the same anyhow)

        so just buy lots of $50 vouchers rather than a big >$100 one

        • plague69 on 05/05/2015 - 13:21

          Is it one voucher per purchase or can you use like 10 to book a single ticket?

  • bashar20 on 05/05/2015 - 11:48

    Title very confusing.

  • marquise on 05/05/2015 - 11:49

    Is there a limit to how many vouchers you can use in your booking? Eg. If you bought quite a few low value vouchers so you don't forfeit any unused amount.

    • tightarse on 05/05/2015 - 11:52
      +7

      I called them 5 minutes ago, as I wanted to know this as well. Definitely can use as many vouchers as you like for a booking, so may be wise to buy lower denominations up to the value of the fare you need.

  • IWantThatFlight on 05/05/2015 - 11:51

  • neil on 05/05/2015 - 11:57

    Keep in mind you are also saving $8.50AUD per passenger per domestic flight or $8.50-$12.50 per passenger per international flight by paying by vouchers vs. a credit card.

    • isdnman on 05/05/2015 - 11:59
      +3

      If only you have equal balance in a gift voucher.
      If you have more balance, those were forfeited.
      If you have less balance, you will still be charged a cc fee.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/05/2015 - 15:26

      pay via POLI and not be charged anything

      • fookos on 05/05/2015 - 16:11

        Do you need to do anything intense to get setup for POLI?

        Several banks have said POLI is dangerous and insecure. POLI admitted that your banking login and password pass through their servers, but POLI said they wouldn't look.

        • Cyphar on 06/05/2015 - 12:11

          It uses SSL certification so the data is heavily encrypted. Have you got a link regarding the banks saying this?

        • Russ on 06/05/2015 - 16:46
          +1

          @Cyphar:

          Several are listed in Wikipedia, click through the references to read them:
          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POLi_Payments#Concerns

          SSL does not mean secure. You do know that ANYONE can get an SSL certificate, don't you? GoDaddy (Australia) sells SSL certificates for AU$5.99.

          Here's another recommendation NOT to use POLI:
          http://www.policebank.com.au/poli-not-recommended-for-paymen…

          And another, although it's a bit old:
          http://www.itnews.com.au/News/326827,banks-concerned-over-po…

        • Cyphar on 07/05/2015 - 13:24

          @Russ:
          The link to PoliceBank expresses more a concern in how transactions are made, it is not an issue regarding compromising activity

          The one on ITNews mentions that Poli doesn't hold bank details.

          And as for SSL ceritficates, they are indeed safe. No two certificates (Beyond 128bit) contain the same encryption algorithm. There is an enormous amount of work required to be able to decrypt one. Being able to buy one from GoDaddy is great as it guarantees that more online stores can guarantee encryption. So can you explain the issue there?

          I'm not trying to shoot down what you are saying, but the issue you are raising is one that is raised for all new technologies. It's no different than using your credit card. It's stored on the same kind of technology. I've used Poli for 2 years now without an issue. I love it, in fact.

        • Russ on 08/05/2015 - 10:22

          @Cyphar:

          A number of points.

          SSL is actually outdated; Wikipedia says "Secure Sockets Layer, an outdated cryptographic protocol superseded by Transport Layer Security"
          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSL

          SSL (and TLS) have already been compromised several times:
          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#Securi…
          But I agree that it is sufficient for you to communicate with your bank, because your bank does know security and keeps up with the latest security knowledge, and because they also agree to compensate you if it all goes pear-shaped.

          However, the most important thing is that security is not just about encryption. Using POLI, you are giving your banking login credentials to POLI, and THEY are logging into your online banking, and then sending the webpages back to you. All it would take is one corrupt employee, or one new undiscovered weakness in POLI's website that hackers can exploit, and you could lose everything in your bank account. Your bank could then deny responsibility, because you gave your banking credentials to POLI, which is explicitly forbidden in your bank's "terms and conditions".

          If you have a home loan accessible through your online banking, the losses could be even larger. Your offset account could be emptied, re-draw (if allowed through on-line banking) could also be used to drain your funds further.

          If you look at the history of POLI, where earlier versions used ActiveX to run their bank access, it certainly looks like POLI didn't start with security in mind, and like they are learning as they go. It doesn't look like they are seasoned security experts, in fact their history makes them look like security amateurs. Here is a quote from a security prossional, Greg Day from McAfee:

          "Using ActiveX for online payments is the kind of thing that would make me run a mile. [It] is probably the most used route for hackers to get in … and steal personal information."

    With such a short expiry, it's a bit risky to purchase. I purchased a voucher before but didn't end up using it. It almost became wasted but luckily my friend was booking a Jetstar flight and was able to use it for me.

  • tazmaniak on 05/05/2015 - 12:58

    Through my Jestar Mastercard I've accrued nearly $2000 in flights, yet sometimes the vouchers have come out at an inopportune time.
    So far I've given away $600 or more worth of vouchers because I couldn't use them before the expiry date.

    Note though, this was back when you only had 3 months to use the voucher, within a 6 month travel window.

    • onetwothreefour on 05/05/2015 - 14:24
