    Keep in mind that flights bought with giftcards might not be covered by any credit card travel insurance (if you rely on that usually)… worth checking with your card's insurer.

    • Lukian on 02/12/2016 - 11:26

      If any travel insurance is costing you more than $150, you're probably paying too much ;)

      • qtntom on 02/12/2016 - 12:21

        he didn't say or imply he's paying 150 for insurance. u can book flights and still receiving 150

        • Lukian on 02/12/2016 - 12:23

          I'm saying that you're saving $150, so it's not worth paying for a $700+ flight on a credit card because 'stand alone' insurance is cheaper than that..

        • qtntom on 02/12/2016 - 12:26
          +4

          @Lukian:but u saving 150 either way, paying for flights straight from ur cc give u free insurance

      not sure about other cards but recently saw with the CommBank Gold, Platinum or Diamond credit cards, you no longer have to make travel relates purchases on the card in order to trigger travel insurance. Just needs to be activated by the link below:

  • jenkemjunkie on 02/12/2016 - 11:09

    What about gift cards from the frequent flyer store - say a JB HiFi gift card - or does that trigger a different merchant ID than buying a qantas gift card or flights

      No, different merchant and business name. Won't work.

    can i use the giftcard in their qantas hotel?

    Can confirm I purchase 500/200 gift card as the above comment and receive the email instantly.

  • robhung on 02/12/2016 - 11:59

    Best to wait for the 20th to maximise the expiry date of the gift card purchase or do it ASAP before they close the loophole?

    • ChickenTalon on 02/12/2016 - 22:39

      This flight gift voucher loop hole has been discussed every time this deal comes up, which is about 4 times now. I could be wrong, but I don't think they're likely to close it anytime soon.

    • Tony-Abbott on 02/12/2016 - 12:20

      Yes, the fact that Qantas Vouchers are NOT Gift Cards….

      • euskadi_warrior on 02/12/2016 - 12:22

        Great - thanks for the clarification!

  • Thrawn on 02/12/2016 - 13:07

    The annoying thing with the GC $500 + $200 approach is that you can only use it for at least TWO flights. You can't use it on say a single return Asian trip. $200 GC in particular is so low value that its not much of a discount for an Asian/Europe/US flight that you'd only want it if you were going to book a QF flight anyway.

    • pilotyuan on 02/12/2016 - 13:21

      Didn't know the problem. Always think we spend two GC in one flight.
      However $150 for GC1000 is not much better isn't it?
      From the math the threshold is $714 for discount wise, which means if the flight you are gonna to buy later is over $714 you would better purchase the $1000 GC.

  • melmac77 on 02/12/2016 - 13:23

    How long is the expiry on the gift cards.

    • Thrawn on 02/12/2016 - 13:25

      12 months

      • melmac77 on 02/12/2016 - 13:31

        Thanks Follow up question :) can they be spent on anything else useful other than flights? generally I only go east once a yr and the flight cost usually doesn't hit $700 so I'm going to have a small balance left over on the card

  • jazattack on 02/12/2016 - 13:59

    Anyone recommend a good first credit card with Amex? Preferably $0 annual fee. Thinking of going with CBA to get the $250 cashback but all these Amex deals look pretty good.

  • rcastiel on 02/12/2016 - 14:12

    has anyone sold QF vouchers before? Is there a market for them? I'm not 100% sure I'd use the credit within a year but I'd be sure to find someone to buy them for at least what I paid (net of cashback), right?

    • YellowEarthAustralia on 03/12/2016 - 10:34

      Not unless you're selling for a significant discount.

      • rcastiel on 04/12/2016 - 07:49
        +1

        Even if I sell my $700 of vouchers for 600, I'd make a profit and keep the points. That's a pretty significant discount.

  • madpig83 on 02/12/2016 - 14:44

    • nonpop on 02/12/2016 - 15:19

      We buy a lot of vouchers … in peak period can take 2 working days. If you don't get in within 2 or 3 days and you especially need to make a booking, then call them and they can have the voucher issued quicker.

    Very tempted to get the Amex Qantas Ultimate with this promotion. Spend $700 get $150. Not only that get 5600 Qantas pts (3500 + 2100).

    • Skramit on 02/12/2016 - 15:13

      Can you elaborate what you mean? I have an Ultimate card…. are you saying you get 5 x $700 3500 points… whats the 2100?

      • nightelves on 02/12/2016 - 15:50

        Earn 3 Qantas Points per $1 spent at restaurants in Australia and selected Qantas products and services in Australia.

        This is what it's state on the Amex Ultimate website.

    Can someone explain how do we redeem a GC for new flights? From the webpage it says to click on "manage booking" but nowhere do I see how you can book a new flight and apply the GC balance?

  • DoddLad101 on 03/12/2016 - 04:12

    Just confirming, that if I bought the gift cards 500/200 split, and had a flight costing $600 the vouchers would be non redeemable?

    • googoogaga on 03/12/2016 - 07:59

      you'd be only able to redeem the $500 or $200
      2 rules
      - use it all up in 1 go
      - only 1 voucher per booking

      • djlee on 03/12/2016 - 09:51
        +1

        I think you don't need to use it all up in one go? On the site it says they give you new voucher for the amount you don't use up.

        • YellowEarthAustralia on 03/12/2016 - 10:33
          +1

          Confirmed, you dont need to use the voucher all in one go.
          Any remaining balance will be reissued as a new voucher but with the same expiry date as the original.

      • Neoika on 03/12/2016 - 12:46

        You can split equally into 2 times $350.

  • madpig83 on 03/12/2016 - 08:33

    I'm trying to get my flight up to $700 but I'm short about $5.
    Would the carbon offset count? It doesn't appear to be excluded in the T&Cs.
    Thanks

    • smpantsonfire on 03/12/2016 - 12:11

      CC fees brought mine up from $691 to $700 exactly. Was winning.

    • ttfb on 06/12/2016 - 14:33

      I have the same question! I was $3 short and added a $20ish carbon offset to get over the line. Have I just wasted my money - I did not receive the amex confirmation email.

      What's more, I've received two receipts from Qantas, one for the flights ($697ish) and one for the carbon offset. Uh oh.

  • anna10 on 03/12/2016 - 12:05

    • illumination on 03/12/2016 - 12:53

      Unless someone here works for AMEX/hacks the system I'm not sure how anyone here would be able to give you that information?

  • alchew on 03/12/2016 - 16:39

    If Flights are $1400 and you use a $700 gift card to pay for for half of it and then pay the extra $700 at the time of booking, is it true that you would then get $300 off???

    • doublezero1 on 03/12/2016 - 17:04
      +2

      Guess in theory if you spent $700 in getting Qantas vouchers with one Amex card. Then used one of the vouchers in conjunction with a different Amex card to pay an extra $700 for your flight on the Qantas website then I can't see why you wouldn't get $300 back. Maybe someone smarter can see a problem with this but it seems ok.

      • vetopower on 03/12/2016 - 21:27
        +2

        Yes that would work. You need two Amexes both enrolled for the cash back.

    • bluedufflecoat on 04/12/2016 - 12:55

      Are you buying flights for 1 person or more? If you mean to buy flights for two people you have to buy your gift voucher as 2 x $350. Otherwise you have to do two separate bookings with the one gift voucher.

      • alchew on 04/12/2016 - 13:40

        For 1 person, but there are 2 of us, it would be $1,400 each so we'd save $600 altogether with 4 amex cards and booking separately

        • bluedufflecoat on 04/12/2016 - 14:08
          +2

          You can't buy a $700 gift card. It goes from $500 to $1000 and you can't use two gift cards per booking.

        • alchew on 04/12/2016 - 14:54

          @bluedufflecoat: ah yes i see now. thanks!

  • Thrawn on 05/12/2016 - 10:33

    Anyone know if you can use the gift cards to book a Jetstar flight on the Qantas website ? In the normal Qantas booking website, if you try to make a booking with Jetstar only flights, it redirects to the Jetstar website. Is it the same when doing gift voucher redemptions ?

  • phonehome on 05/12/2016 - 14:22

    Is it possible to split the payment across multiple cards (other than through gift vouchers)?

    I have 2 one-way flights that are each over $1400, so would be good to charge each one on 2 different cards.

    • bluedufflecoat on 06/12/2016 - 10:32
      +2

      you only need to spend $700 to trigger the $150 back. So if each one way flight is $1400, buy each flight with different credit cards on two separate bookings.

      But buying gift vouchers will allow you to get away with not paying credit card fees, which can be quite considerable, if they are international flights.
      And… they have a promo with gift vouchers where you earn 5x per $1 gift voucher bought.

      • phonehome on 07/12/2016 - 14:26

        Thanks bluedufflecoat! A couple of issues with this strategy: this is an international flight, so if I book the return flight as a separate one-way, I wouldn't be able to use a gift voucher, since the itinerary would depart overseas… right? So that means that in order to use a gift voucher at all, I have to book the whole thing as 1 booking, which means I can only get 1 voucher. I guess what I'll do is buy a $1000 voucher on 1 card, then put the rest of the cost on a different card, and that way the voucher and the remainder will each trigger the $150 credit, and I won't have to pay credit card fees at all on the whole cost… right?

        • bluedufflecoat on 07/12/2016 - 14:42

          why won't you be able to buy a one-way ticket from a different departure point? Would they not charge you in AUD?

          Edit: OK - so they don't charge in AUD (if booking say LAX-MEL). I'm not sure… maybe someone else on here would know more.

          Edit 2: Vouchers are redeemable for one-way or return Qantas domestic or international flights departing Australia.

        • vetopower on 07/12/2016 - 14:45

          That is the approach you should take because, as you correctly said, gift vouchers don't work for flights originating outside of Australia.

        • bluedufflecoat on 07/12/2016 - 15:16

          do you have 4 cards or 2 cards?

    • illumination on 08/12/2016 - 00:34

      They do reopen for extra renewals sometimes but no one here will really know for sure. It doesn't happen often, but I can definitely say that I have seen it happen before.

  • wutang01 on 17/12/2016 - 19:42

    Does anyone have a Platinum Charge Card, bought $700 in Qantas Gift Vouchers and successfully got the statement credit?
    I'm a little concerned because in the past, I've noticed when I booked flights that the Platinum Charge Card successfully retrieves my booking reference, carrier, departure city and arrival city when I go to "View Transactions".

    • wutang01 on 20/12/2016 - 08:17

      Answered my own question. I still got the qualifying email, however I did notice through Apple Pay transactions that my flight purchases were made through QANTAS AIRWAYS (E) and the gift vouchers were processed by QANTAS AIRWAYS (M).

      I'm surprised that I still got the email!

  • moflare on 20/12/2016 - 03:32

  • KupoHo on 28/12/2016 - 12:30

    Hi guys, I bought flights on the 19/12 but the transaction is still appearing as pending although I got the Amex confirmation email of the $150 cashback straight away. Do you know why it might be taking this long to move out of pending status? I haven't receive an itinerary from Qantas either but I did get the ref code when I completed the booking and it's still working….Who should I contact about this? Qantas or Amex? Or do you think it will resolve itself???

    • danielh on 28/12/2016 - 14:55
      +1

      I find that my CBA account shows it as pending for about 5 days while my NAB and ANZ seem to just leave it as is. Funnily enough I do notice that the NAB amount can change to another amount if it was an overseas transaction.

      What bank are you with or was it pure Amex?

      • KupoHo on 28/12/2016 - 15:25

        Ah it's CBA…So it should resolve itself??? I don't normally book Qantas so not sure why it didn't go through immediately like other airlines. As long as I get it eventually and my flights are booked! :)

        • danielh on 28/12/2016 - 19:45

          It will resolve itself. It is normal.
