I received the offer and selected the 75 status credits option but have not seen them appear in my frequent flyer account yet. Any idea how long this takes.
The maths doesn't seem to be right... qantas stated 1 billion points to be " gifted" at a minimum amount of 1000 points per frequent flyer member if they had at least one flight during the past year.
1 billion is 1000 million.. so if the minimum gift is 1000 points then it means 1 million member will get the minimum gift...
But qantas states that their frequent flyer programme has 14.7 million members.
So only 1 out of 14 members is receiving the gift of points
I know some will take the status credits instead of point but even if half recieve points and half take the points then that's 2 million out of 14.7 members receiving a gift of point.
There are three conclusions
1... alot of the 14.7 members of frequent flyers program are not active or didn't take a flight in the past 12 months
2.. the figure of 1 billion points to be gifted is too low an estimate
Hi! I did 2 international flights ( august 2022 and March 2023) and I did not get the offer for the 5000 points. I am very disappointed 😞. Plus I am booked to go on another international flight next May 2024. Why wasn’t I offered those 5000 points?
Nice one Qantas but has everyone read the fine print

Just typical, make it sound like they are being good
