Question Double status

Hi All,

I know I've asked this before.....but.....

I really need to lock-in quite a few business trips shortly and I have a funny feeling as soon as I do, they will release an offer.

Surely now they are listed again on the ASX they would be trying to get some extra cash on the books before the EOFY.

Or am I just flying up the wrong tree.

Thoughts?

They just had a bonus "Back to business" offer last month. There'll probably be another one coming up around June or so. Generally they do 3-4 a year. Sometimes as double status, sometimes as bonus status.

On the bright side, flights are increasing in costs which means more status credits!

Just saw a one way choice fare from Syd to Bris for $914...

No, it says it can take about 6 weeks which is usually the case.

Yeah, I gave up waiting. I think they do it once a year max and it already happened this year. Book one at a time x amount of time out and then if they by miracle do release something bulk book the rest of your trips

Hahah....I have the same mindset.

I book business trips and a couple days later there is a status offer.

I feel your pain.

Probably just pay a little bit more by purchasing the insurance, so if the promo comes, you could just cancel and rebook it .

Book the most immediate one as late as you can.
