It had something to do with the POLi website falling over when I was just about to press the Finish or Confirm button.
The POLi system picked up that I was paying Jetstar and transferred the money, but my details did not transfer.
As a result my money went into the Jetstar bank account but was not attached to my ticket.
You cannot use credit card with Jetstar as they charge a fee. Same with Paypal.
How does the fee stop you using a credit card? I use one every time I book with Jetstar or anyone else for that matter and just suck up the small fee. I know the fare quoted on their booking site is going to grow once I add baggage etc - the fee is just another extra. How much was the drama with POLi worth?
So- I have just bought three tickets on Jetstar in the Club Jetstar sale using POLi.
POLi worked fine- different screens and easier to use.
Oooh- and Jetstar have sent me three hotel vouchers worth $75. Thats not bad, spend $205 on air tickets and get hotel vouchers which work on Expedia worth $75.
Jetstar try to con you into thinking you can only use the hotel voucher in the place you fly to. However, you just change the place and date and you can book anywhere in the world at any date you want!

was NVG, it doesn't stop you from using a credit card - I think Raki was actually meaning he will not use a credit card because of the fee attached. Though those fees are/have been abolished and we will all be paying some kind of booking fee in place of it. I use POLI and don't have a problem with it, computers glitch now and then and how we lost a good sale price with Jetstar a few years back. Before the days of POLI and being able to DD, after that hic cup went back to credit card paying as you get instance confirmation. Now days I use POLI but if the charges are going to be the same regardless of payment type I will go back to CC, for me a better paper trial.
I dislike paying $8.50 for a booking using credit card when its free using some form of bank transfer.
