AnyFurtherDiscount on Tokyo Return on China Southern: Departing Perth $564, Melbourne $622, Sydney $629 inc Cherry Blossom Season @ IWantThatFlight

I actually think OP thinks CZ = MU... They also booked through Flight Centre, rather than direct with airline which I think is a mistake

Agree. I doubt they can tell the difference in their system though (WW initiated or customer initiated)

Hmmmm I'm seeing the 10% base cashback DOESN'T apply for using the JUNEOFYxx code... That's disappointing

Anyone getting this error? "You can not use this code any more"
