The voucher will be sent between 18 – 20 April 2016

Technically you can use the flight voucher right away and cancel the hotel you booked later if your circumstances change as most hotels have free cancellation up to 24 hours before check-in.

T&C do say that cancelled hotel bookings do not qualify for the flight voucher but can't see how they can enforce it since vouchers are sent by 20th April 2016, and cancellation can be processed by contacting the hotel directly.

With the $50 voucher, you could probably get yourself a free local flight with Jetstar Specials or via a Price match with Tiger/Virgin.

YMMV

Enjoy

^Until 11:59PM (AEST) Tuesday 19 April 2016, book a stay at any one of over 150,000 hotels at jetstar.com costing AUD $200 or more and receive a $50 flight voucher. Flight vouchers are valid for 6 months from date of issue.
Once you've booked, keep an eye out for an email with your flight voucher details which will be issued using the name and email address of the customer who made the booking. We'll send the flight vouchers out between 18 – 20 April 2016. A maximum of one voucher per booking applies. Valid for any stay booked in a single transaction to the value of AUD $200 or more until 11:59PM (AEST) Tuesday 19 April 2016. A stay is one night or several consecutive nights spent at a single hotel even if the customer checks in and checks out more than once during that period. Cancelled bookings will not be eligible for this offer.

    Can I use the flight voucher to purchase meals for an existing flight?

    • Yanoflies on 17/04/2016 - 10:49

      The answer is: yes — you can.

      Just realised I'm flying Tuesday night so I prob won't receive the voucher in time.

      Will just go with an Airbnb,

      Please keep in mind that you will need to use the voucher in one go as you forfeit the remaining value on the voucher

  • doctordv8 on 17/04/2016 - 10:02

    A bit sad, in my opinion, telling is how to defraud Jetstar. It also does say, cancelled hotel bookings will cancel the voucher(Cancelled bookings will not be eligible for this offer). So sort of moot to suggest this un-Autralian idea.
    It would not be a bargain if you got banned for using Jetstar because the system found you out. Not for me thanks as I travel too much to bite the horse the fly's me.

    • Flowerbomb on 17/04/2016 - 10:09

      Agreed. Is your integrity worth a $50 gift voucher? Not for everyone I guess.

      • argamond on 17/04/2016 - 18:36

        rather than integrity - what if this discourages jetstar and other businesses from giving discounts because of fraud?

    I would feel a bit guilty towards the hotels that will get heaps of fake bookings, not worth it to me at all.

    • rawm on 17/04/2016 - 11:12
      +5

      Yep, agreed.

      So basically book hotel later this year, get your voucher in 2 - 3 days, redeem the voucher and cancel your hotel booking.

      Nah, even by my bargain moral compass, it's not something I'd do.

      To those making a legitimate booking it's a good deal nonetheless :)

  • Japius on 17/04/2016 - 10:28

    I guess it's still a deal if you are legitimately booking a hotel…the whole just cancel thing makes it seem dodgey

      Yup, I'm making a legitimate booking so it's a good deal for me — if I can make use of the $50 voucher.

        They can cancel your ticket I suppose.

        • insular on 17/04/2016 - 11:35

          i meant if you use the ticket (ie. fly) before the hotel booking. what's left to cancel?

    Not sure if they are still offering the 25 dollar hotel voucher when you book flights. (Book return flights separately for two hotel vouchers)

    So you book hotel, get voucher, book flight with voucher , get voucher, cancel hotel, book hotel with voucher.

      What is the official way to receive those $25 vouchers? I only receive them randomly.

      • altomic on 17/04/2016 - 11:10

        I've received them pretty much immediately after booking my last 2 flights on jetstar.

      don't forget the Jetstar 10% price beat for flights and hotels. so shop around.

    Jetstar deserve everything they get. Horrible airline/customer service policies

  • dynamike on 17/04/2016 - 11:17

    Couple of things worth noting in the T&Cs

    The voucher cannot be redeemed for Jetstar Holiday products (including accommodation, activities, transfers, parking, insurance and car hire).

    […] the person named on the voucher must be a passenger on the booking

  • YOTR on 17/04/2016 - 11:27

    I'd feel worse about this towards Jetstar if they didn't have such exorbitant credit card, cancellation and baggage fees.

  • panacheski on 17/04/2016 - 11:47

    Fair deal if actually booking a hotel. Otherwise, in my opinion, it breaches OzB ethics.

  • nahi11 on 17/04/2016 - 11:49

    Deal of the month.

  • Thrawn on 17/04/2016 - 12:04
    +1

    There's no coupons, cashback, etc for Jetstar Hotel bookings. Which means that a site like Orbitz ends up being about 18% cheaper.

    If you can find a hotel that can be pricematched on Jetstar.. brings the gap to about 10% difference. On say $250 of hotel bookings, thats $25 more expensive, for a $50 Jetstar flight voucher. And given the flight voucher won't get here until later, a bit of a risk as to whether it would be usable.

  • peterpeterpumpkin on 17/04/2016 - 12:12

    They do hostels as well. But then I can't get to $200 even after 5 nights.

    • easternculture on 17/04/2016 - 12:21

      Book 7 nights. When you checkin the hostel, cancel 2 nights and you should get a refund if more than 24 hr notice

      • peterpeterpumpkin on 17/04/2016 - 13:14

        The T&Cs mention something about "losing the value of the voucher". Via credit card details?

  • peterpeterpumpkin on 17/04/2016 - 13:22

    Learnt why there are much fewer hotel options than agoda (which Jetstar's US site still uses). The hotel search engine is straight from Qantas-owned hooroo.com. I believe they still charge slightly less commission to hotels than established competitors (13% vs 15%).

  • sagrules on 17/04/2016 - 16:53

    Are any international hotels included?

    QUESTION

    Has anyone tried using these Jetstar vouchers?

    A friend recently got a Jetstar voucher, and found large fees involved in using these vouchers (per person per trip).
    That might apply to this, making it not worth getting the voucher at all.

    • Sweet3st on 17/04/2016 - 23:36

      I got one of these earlier in the year. Booked a hotel in Melbourne Cup time. Quite a good deal, so happy to hold onto it though the cancellation angle did occur to me… Received voucher and applied the next time Jetstar had a sale. Easy, no charges whatsoever, but I paid with Poli.

  • CVonC on 18/04/2016 - 02:46

    can you make multiple bookings >= $200 and get multiple vouchers?

  • dumkaze on 18/04/2016 - 10:43

    • azm on 18/04/2016 - 16:45

      How long does it take since purchased?

  • zpohc on 18/04/2016 - 13:38

    If I book a hotel >$200 but use a $25 off voucher which makes it ~$180, am I still eligible for the offer? Or does the booking must be over $200 after the voucher is applied.

  • battler on 18/04/2016 - 23:57

    what a joke their price match promise is:

    "Thank you for submitting your Price Beat Guarantee claim.

    After careful consideration and investigation, we regret to inform you that the Price Beat Guarantee claim has been unsuccessful.

    Upon checking the competitor travel website URL and screenshot you have provided in comparison to the booking you’ve made, we have confirmed the following details:

    1. The offer you found in the competitor travel website for the Superior room comes with a different cancellation policy "Free cancellation before 19 September 2016 " compared to the cancellation policy "Free cancellation up to 24 hours before check-in" of your booking. (where 24 hours prior = 19 Sept)

    Please see the attached screenshot for your reference. To qualify for Price Promise, the products on Jetstar.com and the competitor travel website must be identical in all regards, and all details must be visible on the screenshot of the competitor's website.

    Anyways, will now book with the competitor, wait for the voucher, then cancel jetstar booking.

    • CVonC on 19/04/2016 - 02:08

      (where 24 hours prior = 19 Sept)

      What… that's so dodgy! Can't you argue that it is the same policy??

      Also, do you reckon they would price beat the Accor 40% off right now (with no cancellation policy)?

      Finally, how long did they take to reply to your price beat inquiry?

      • Thrawn on 19/04/2016 - 07:07

        Accors deal requires a coupon, which is exempted from Jetstar price match

        • CVonC on 19/04/2016 - 10:51

          No it doesn't?

          @CVonC:

          Could've sworn I saw a coupon field pre-filled in last night when I was searching for hotels. Anyway.. it would still fail anyway because its a "non public" sale. As in, if you just go to accorhotels.com, the discounted rate won't show up.

          From Jetstar Hotel's price beat conditions:

          What doesn't qualify:
          - rates that are only available to people who have subscribed to or become a member of a website or any other rate which is not available to the general public

      • battler on 19/04/2016 - 08:04

        They don't price match over phone, you complete online form which triggers a form-like email back to you to fill in. Took about 20-30mins for that email to come through, and then after sending about an hour before they declined me.

  • whada123 on 19/04/2016 - 13:37

    Hi. How would I go about cancelling the hotel booking ??

    • Thrawn on 19/04/2016 - 18:04

      Looks like the only way is to call them.

      No online mechanism like the typical big travel sites

      • whada123 on 20/04/2016 - 09:57

        I just called them. It is non-refundable nor it can be credited. The only thing they could offer was to change the name with no charge.

        • Thrawn on 20/04/2016 - 10:24

          Very interesting. Did you specifically book a hotel that is listed as cancellation allowed ?

        • whada123 on 20/04/2016 - 20:29

          @Thrawn: No, i just booked the one I wanted, I didn't intend to cancel it when I booked. Maybe the one I booked was on a special price.

  • enveloped on 22/04/2016 - 21:03

    I would advice against using there service. Their cancellation has to be done in 72 hours, while their competitors can often do better. But the real problem is that the only way to change a booking is to call them (booking.com has online change services), and Jetstar hotel reservation doesn't work after 8pm. I booked a hotel and had to change the date, but it's out side of Jetstar's hours, and the hotel couldn't do anything since only Jetstar can change their booking. If you choose other hotel service, like booking.com, they have 24x7 services so you only get problem if hotel staff went home. For travelers it's important to be able to reach booking service any time. I have to call them tomorrow 9am again, by then I will be in the 72 hour boundary. I hope they don't punish me for trying to change the booking within the 72 hour.
