Thanks Lance- A F Assist, we have secured our award around the world flights with our Qantas points.Do we accrue status credits/ QFF points on these flights?

But I just found out there may be some unique scenarios:

Award re-routed (and made direct)

Needed to get a family member home from Perth yesterday at short notice. Cash fares had gone through the roof (I'm guessing in part because Qantas and Virgin had A330s tied up with Hong Kong troubles) so jumped on to look for award space PER-MEL. Didn't find anything direct until Sunday so...

OK yes there are SOME scenarios where points may be gained from award flights:

1. IRROPS or reroutes done "incorrectly" by booking into a revenue earning booking class will earn. Sometimes agents book into the wrong class, or do it to override a restriction, or whatever. Not something to EVER be relied on.
2. As part of a promotion - from time to time QF will have those promotions - almost always only on Y redemptions - to earn some points on them. I admit I have not seen one for awhile, but they have been done from time to time.
3. If paying for a revenue fare using points (which is not a Classic Reward anyway but more a highly overpriced Any Seat Award) - this is also the case when using points+pay for a booking.

The scenario of a RTW reward booking using points doesn't fall into any of these (unless 1 occurs)

31 October 2013 was the last offer I received. Maybe Qantas will offer again in the Centenary Year??
