    Would this include Jetstar flights?

    • scud70 on 04/09/2015 - 09:09

      i was booking a flight for 4 last night and Jetstar charge $17 per person per booking in fee's if you pay by CC or Paypal, 4 tickets is $68 (over 1/3 of 1 persons fare) just to pay for the booking.. the voucher if it worked with jetstar would basically pay for your Amex fee's .. lol

      • jv on 04/09/2015 - 09:10

        I'd report that to the ACCC if I were you…

          +2

          Yep i'm with you there, my wife made the point that at most it would cost them 1.5-2% in CC fee's this was nearly 10% of the total!

          @scud70:

          It's not a reasonable cost for the service, they've cracked down on other bank fees in the past. If enough people complain, then they might do something about it.

        • scud70 on 04/09/2015 - 09:17

          @jv: i'd have to read the T&C's im sure they've got the lawyers to write it up nicely to make it look like it's a cost that they are passing on, still ridiculous fee though.

        • jv on 04/09/2015 - 09:25

          @scud70:

          to make it look like it's a cost that they are passing on

          The only way this will change will be if people make formal complaints…

          If they're using these fees to force people onto their own credit cards, then there might a valid avenue to pursue here…

        • scud70 on 04/09/2015 - 09:25

          @jv: yup no fee if you use a Jetstar visa card

          @scud70:

          thought so…

          Sounds more like a penalty then, rather than recovering costs of the service…

          @scud70:
          Ahh common mistake, just because a lawyer writes it up, doesn't make it legal. They add lots of legally unenforceable stuff in t&c's or contracts, which they wave in tour face if you complain. But if you call them on it, they can't enforce it.

          I have a mate who writes legal contracts for a living. They do it all the time. Apparently its not illegal to write legally unenforceable clauses into a contract. Go lawyers!

        • ChickenTalon on 04/09/2015 - 12:05

          @supabrudda: incorrect. It is ILLEGAL to misrepresent rights in a consumer contract. Statements like: "no returns" or "buyer waves their rights to legal remedies" are illegal to put into contracts or display in stores.

          If that's what your lawyer mate does then he's an arsehole, in addition to breaking consumer law.

        • [Deactivated] on 04/09/2015 - 12:22

          @ChickenTalon: he doesn't write consumer legal contracts.
          The point is just because it's in a contract, it deosn't mean it's legally enforceable.

          and yes he is a wealthy a-hole.

        • Matt P on 04/09/2015 - 14:04

          @jv ACCC is already onto the airlines after the RBA weren't able to rein it in

          http://www.heraldsun.com.au/travel/travel-advice/rba-crackdo…

          https://www.choice.com.au/about-us/media-releases/2014/june/…

          While the RBA was focused on trying to bring down the cost of the credit card surcharge to something more reasonable, the ACCC is taking aim at the fact that the costs aren't disclosed in the headline price.

    • dodgydarji on 04/09/2015 - 09:14

      I am interested to know the answer to this question too. Assume you meant booking Jetstar flights through the Qantas website?

      • inherentchoice on 04/09/2015 - 09:57

        Yes that's what I meant. And hopefully I can even book the current sale fares to Hawaii… Might try booking tonight see what happens. I guess it depends if the payment comes up on your AMEX statement as Qantas rather than Jetstar. I think maybe you can't get the cheaper prices on Jetstar flights if you book via Qantas.com? But it might at least have bags included?

      • coprocessor8087 on 04/09/2015 - 10:38

        If you go to Qantas site and try to book jetstar flight within your booking, it will show a pop up saying the flight is provided by Jetstar and you will be forwarded to Jetstar.com. And I don"t see how you can claim this is from Qantas.com

        My previous booking with Jetstar.com has "Jetstar' in the trandaction description.

  • montorola on 04/09/2015 - 07:56

    What happens if you register and don't end up taking the deal?

    Do you get penalised/blacklisted for future deals or something?

    The Qantas one looks good, and I MAY need it…

    • kolorijo on 04/09/2015 - 07:58

      No, you won't get penalised.

      Apply the voucher to book your flight.
      Pay the remaining amount with AmEx card 2.
      Avoid CC fee and receive 2*$50=$100 back.

      Remember you can only use 1 voucher per booking.You cannot stack 2+ vouchers.

    How about Qantas gift cards? It says in the T&C that giftcard purchases are excluded though.

    • [Deactivated] on 04/09/2015 - 10:42

      American Express wouldn't know from your statement if you're buying a gift card or making a normal purchase. As with previous offers at LiquorLand and Vintage Cellars (of many other participants), you can safely but a gift card and you'll receive those credits.

  • visca on 04/09/2015 - 09:43

    I absolutely hate Jetstar model and will use alternatives unless its a must. The oncharges and fees when you are booking with them are just aver the top including the cc fees. I must say its not just Jetstar a lot of other online booking/purchasing companies are getting onto this idea.

  • engineeringprof on 04/09/2015 - 09:49

    Just recently booked a flight and on the QANTAS website it was a $30 credit card fee per passenger vs. No Fee on the Emirates website … for exactly the same flight. Don't know how they justify it, their partner airlines certainly don't do it.

  • power71 on 04/09/2015 - 10:00

      If you can find a way to get a partial refund on the card you pay with then maybe?

  • Ron280 on 04/09/2015 - 10:29

        No.

        not sure who didn't like your idea. This is what I do - accept every offer in case I happen to purchase something that gives me credit. I have had a few credits this way.
        Same as the coles and woolies deals, I activate them, but don't tell any joint card holders what the deals are so they aren't persuaded to buy something they wouldn't have otherwise.

  • mjp80 on 04/09/2015 - 10:57

    Any idea if you can use your card to buy a $350 flight voucher, which will then give you a year to spend the $350 instead of having to do it by October 4th?

    • coprocessor8087 on 04/09/2015 - 11:15

      You are then limited your choice to only Qantas. You can't even use your Qantas voucher for Jetstar flight. The saving from cheaper flight by others may be more than $50.

          'cannot' be used for multi-city, Classic Flight Rewards or Points Plus Pay - Flights booking or redeemed for cash or other goods or services such as additional baggage or seat selection.

    Buy 3 boxes of Reflex paper at Staples to get a box free. There's 5 reams in each box so that's 20 reams of paper @ $75.

    Spend additional $5+ and you get the Amex $20 cash back, bringing 4 boxes to $60 or $15 per box or $3 per ream.

    And free delivery.

    So Qantas.com.au has a fee of $30 online with credit cards - does this mean that this $50 amex credit just cover part of that, and the effective saving is $20?

    +1

    planning a overseas trip in couple of months

    • book via Qantas website costs $1029 + $30 credit card fee - $50 Amex statement credit = $1029.
    • did bit of research online, best price found for the exact same Qantas return flights quoted $973, and there is no extra credit card charges.
    • Neoika on 04/09/2015 - 21:36
      +1

      $1029 + $30 credit card fee - $50 Amex statement credit = $1009,not $1029.

      If you have 2 AmEx cards,you buy one $350 voucher with one card first.When you book your flight,apply the voucher and pay the remaining amount with the other card.By doing this,you not only avoid CC fee,but also receive 2*$50=$100 back from AmEx.

      So your flight cost can be $929.

      • gotcha on 04/09/2015 - 23:45

        lol cant believe that i got that wrong.

        voucher and credit = no credit card charge? did not know about it at all (any link?). seems good if that works, however not sure whether it would void travel insurance.

      • gotcha on 05/09/2015 - 00:00

        indicated in terms - Only purchases on flights are included.

          No you can't. T&Cs say only 1 voucher per booking.

    Just a reminder that Qantas gift cards are "redeemable for one-way or return Qantas domestic flights or Qantas international flights departing Australia only'.

    So if you are buying tickets for someone who are departing from overseas, you won't be able to use the gift card.
