    Anyone know if these really are for 'flights only' or if it works for other things like Qantas cruises (or gift cards to spend on cruises)?

    The t&c don't seem to pan out the way they say most of the time but not sure I want the risk.

    • odysseus on 02/12/2016 - 09:41

      Pretty much only flights. Other services are booked through other merchants/processors so wouldn't trigger the refund.

      • illumination on 02/12/2016 - 09:51

        Not true. Works on gift cards as someone else has stated..

        • Hoju on 02/12/2016 - 09:56

          Question then is - can you use the gift cards for Qantas cruises, hotels etc?!

          @divious: You must be thinking of some other voucher. The ones bought from http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airlines/gift-vouchers/globa… can only be used for flights. They generate a flight reference number. The redemption page takes you straight to a flight booking page. I've redeemed them hundreds of times.

        • vetopower on 02/12/2016 - 10:32

          @Hoju: Expect to be disappointed. divious is (unfortunately) wrong.

        • T-man on 02/12/2016 - 10:54

          @vetopower:

          Ok I may be wrong, but I bought a voucher before and they sent me the voucher like this: ZJF6JHN39V72XSDF which can be redeemed for flights and hotels (I booked a hotel in Hawaii and it worked well), but it's better to confirm with them the information.

        • vetopower on 02/12/2016 - 10:58

          @divious: That's a hotel voucher, which you typically receive when you book a flight, rather than a gift card that you buy at http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airlines/gift-vouchers/globa…

        • T-man on 02/12/2016 - 11:02

          @vetopower:

          it's very strange, why they sent me a hotel voucher. I used the voucher to book the hotels, so that's why I did not know that the voucher can only be redeemed for the flights. If I used the voucher to book a flight, then I can tell a different story. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

        • odysseus on 02/12/2016 - 13:40

          Yeah, gift cards that get the refund are for flights hence the "pretty much." Same service, just mechanism is different (which can mean differences in charges/points, but is still the same service).

  • Turd on 02/12/2016 - 05:51

    Gift cards work, due to privacy laws companies must not provide detailed itemised information of what people purchased.

    • bluedufflecoat on 02/12/2016 - 06:05

      Haven't bought flights in a while. If flight costs were $744 and we paid $700 with gift cards, would the balance be subject to credit card fees?

      • vetopower on 02/12/2016 - 06:50
        +1

        No. There are no credit card fees to buy a gift card or to pay the amount for a flight not covered by a gift card.

          I'm looking to redeem Qantas reward flights flying with Emirates (via Qantas website), and the taxes & fees are about $2K. Without a gift card the 1.3% CC fee is about $26. But a $50 gift card would have a CC fee of only $0.65. Sounds like a fair saving to buy a gift card first before booking.

        • vetopower on 02/12/2016 - 09:15
          +2

          @muncan: A $50 gift card attracts no credit card fees. Buying a gift card and immediately using it to purchase your flight is a well known way of avoiding the credit card fee that Qantas charges. You just need to be aware of the restrictions on using gift cards (eg no multi-city flights, flights must originate in Australia, etc).

        • danielh on 02/12/2016 - 11:20

          @muncan: yeah. That is a pain. I've got about 600k points left to use but maybe will use instead for an upgrade on a flight that used a gift card.

        • jackofspade on 02/12/2016 - 12:07

          @muncan:
          $2000 taxes and fees! that's far too much even for a RTW ticket.

        • muncan on 02/12/2016 - 12:13

          @danielh: Same

          @jackofspade: I know, right? First class though.

          Bugger. Well I'm out.

          cannot be used for multi-city, Classic Flight Reward or Points Plus Pay - Flights bookings(qantas.com)

          I've triggered it with the fees from a classic flight reward. Just need to make sure you're redeeming local flights, or a return flight originating in Australia. Then you'll be charged the fees from Qantas AU.

          @ChickenTalon: Triggered it with a gift card? We're talking about gift cards here.

        • ChickenTalon on 02/12/2016 - 21:36

          @muncan: My bad, i was just responding to your highlighted classic flight reward

          No, a gift card can't be used to pay for those fees with the flight, I've tried that myself. But paying the fees directly will trigger the rebate itself.

        • muncan on 02/12/2016 - 22:44

          @ChickenTalon: Do you see the irony in paying for fees with a credit card, which incurs more fees? Fees!

        • ChickenTalon on 02/12/2016 - 22:47

          @muncan: Yep, it's pretty mad. Increasing profits any way they can. Often the fees with a flight reward are higher than the flight booked with a low-cost carrier.

    • madpig83 on 02/12/2016 - 06:58

      I can accept the second part, but do you know the first as a fact? Because I'm just thinking they could set up as a different payment receiver for flights vs gift cards, cruises, etc and that would trigger AMEX to pay the credit or not.
      A little elaborate yes, but I'm hesitant to try this amount without some confirmation…

    • T-man on 02/12/2016 - 08:58

      Thanks for reminding us the privacy laws, have you brought this to HArdly Norman who sent their customers info to Amex to reserve the cashback if the customer purchased gift card?

        Well technically they wouldn't need to tell AMEX that you bought a gift card.
        They could just tell AMEX that you no longer met the eligibility criteria for the deal.

        • Turd on 02/12/2016 - 16:33

          How could Qantas know the terms or care about the terms of AMEX? Why are companies protecting AMEX, eg. Harvey Normans, Westfields etc….

        • Thrawn on 02/12/2016 - 21:13

          @Turd:

          Because these kind of deals are usually shared with both AMEX and retailer contributing funds against the rebate (wouldn't be surprised if its fully funded by the retailer). So they're just protecting themselves

    I've gone ahead and purchased $500/$200 in gift cards, and received the Amex email immediately, so I'm confident I will receive the credit, but will know for sure in a couple of days.

    Even if I don't get the credit, 5pts/$ on flights I'd intended to book regardless is nice.

      • Skramit on 02/12/2016 - 16:02

        You can get 250, 350 etc as well.

        I'm thinking of getting 2 x 350 that way i can book wife and i on same flights but use two separate bookings. Having 500 and 200 is more awkward for MEL-Queensland flights that all seem to be around the $150-200 mark - meaning a $500 voucher might be annoying.

        • ChickenTalon on 02/12/2016 - 22:34

          Once you do the separate bookings, call up and have them linked. Then it's the same as if you'd booked them together.

        • bluedufflecoat on 03/12/2016 - 07:20

          I was trying to book 4 x return flights. Cost was $372 per person. First time I bought 1 x $500 voucher and had to split the booking. First for $372 on voucher, second for $128 on voucher and $244 on card. Total was $744 so triggered statement credit email.

          The better way to do it was to get 2 x $350 instead like what you're doing. Because the voucher is for 2 people as opposed to 1 like the first time. So on card number two, I bought 2 x $350 in one transaction. I think it should have triggered email. Was my husband's card so I didn't get the email. Voucher arrived and let's you buy two tickets. I put the balance $44 on the second card.

          Hope that helps.

    Actually, just noticed that vouchers cant be used for multi-city flights. eg. leaving America from a different city. THAT WOULD BE USEFUL INFO TO INCLUDE IN THE VOUCHER Ts and Cs…

    Voucher triggers it. And get the 5 x QF points as well promo. Reminder that the voucher is really like buying a ticket without the locations. So you must purchase the voucher for the correct number of pax and if you buy a voucher for $50 and 2 people, it will charge you for $100. You can change the names later on the voucher. Another tip. When you make the transaction do a screen snip / print. That way you have the reference number of the voucher doesn't come through (they can take 2 days) to make it easier to trace (or use the credit card number).

        Don't know. All previous promos have worked buying the QF gift voucher. And This one has as well. As others have noted the billing is same as if buying a QF ticket. When you buy the gift voucher, it actually sits in 'manage your bookings' section i.e it looks and smells like a faux booking.

          Did you receive the credit yet?

          @superready:

          Sure have. Have used it 8 times across our genuine and bank issued cards.

    book a business class fare, refund later. Get $150 back. Winning.

      They'll probably stop doing these promos if people start pulling this stuff.

    So the flight does not have to be before 20th Dec. Is it correct?

      The flight has to be bought in the promotion period. The date of the flight can be any time.

        Thanks. In that case the gift card approach would be much more suitable for me.

    So if i'm understanding the T&C's correctly. If I pay $650 for a flight in one transaction, and then spend another $50 or so (e.g. reserved/exit row seat, baggage upgrade) in a second transaction a few minutes later that should trigger the $150 credit?

      Yeah that should work
