Vouchers
-
What is the difference between a Hotel Voucher vs a Credit Voucher?
A Hotel Voucher (Promotion code) is a complimentary promotional or goodwill voucher provided by Jetstar Hotels, for example a $30 Hotel Voucher due to booking a Jetstar Airways flight or receiving a goodwill voucher from the Contact Centre. This type of voucher will have a specific expiry date and can be used on the payment page of Jetstar Hotels or Jetstar Holidays.
If a booking paid for in whole or in part with a voucher is cancelled and you are entitled to a refund, the portion of the booking paid for using the voucher will not be refunded, either in cash or with a replacement voucher.
For example if you used a $30 voucher and paid $400 using a credit card for a total booking value of $430 and you cancel the booking, you will only receive $400 back (assuming the booking was fully refundable) either as a Credit Voucher or refunded back to the original payment method used for the booking.
A Credit Voucher is provided due to a paid booking being refunded and a Credit Voucher being issued. Credit Vouchers are valid for a period of 3 years from the date of issue. A Credit Voucher has more flexible terms of use than a Hotel Voucher. If you cancel a booking paid for in whole or part with a Credit Voucher, and you are entitled to a refund, you will be issued with a replacement Credit Voucher for future use.
-
How do I redeem a Jetstar Hotels Voucher?
Jetstar Vouchers can be redeemed through our hotels website and our Jetstar Holidays holiday packages website. After selecting a hotel or Holiday offer that you wish to book, enter the voucher code in the space provided on the Review and Pay page.

Can I redeem Jetstar Hotels Vouchers for products other than hotels?

-
If I cancel my Jetstar Hotels or Jetstar Holiday booking that I booked using a voucher, can I receive a refund in cash or voucher?
No, any amount paid using a voucher is non-refundable. If you are entitled to a refund for the cancelled booking, and the booking included another payment method in addition to the voucher, any hotel cancellation fees will be deducted from the amount paid by you, and you will receive a refund of the balance back to the payment card used for your booking.
-
Can I use my Jetstar Hotels Voucher code on multiple bookings?
Each Voucher code can only be used once on a single booking. Any unused amount will be forfeited.

What is a property specific credit voucher?

The validity period of a Property Specific Voucher will be determined by the relevant hotel, and included in the terms and conditions of the Property Specific Voucher. Any changes or cancellations to a booking paid for using a Property Specific Voucher are at the discretion of the relevant hotel and must be arranged by you with the hotel directly.
-
What if your booking is non-refundable?
If your booking is non-refundable and your circumstances change, you will need to discuss a refund with the relevant hotel. In accordance with our Booking Conditions, the hotel’s cancellation policy applies to your booking. We may, if requested by you, liaise with the hotel to have your booking refunded, but any refund (or voucher) in these circumstances will be at the discretion of the hotel (unless you are otherwise entitled to a refund under the Australian Consumer Guarantees).
If you have travel insurance, you may be able to claim under your insurance policy.
-
If I use the voucher on my next Jetstar Hotels or Jetstar Holiday booking but don’t use the whole amount, what happens to the remaining balance?
If you have a balance remaining on your Credit Voucher, you will automatically receive an email with a new voucher code with the remaining balance shown. If the balance is below $50, we will contact you to arrange a refund.
-
Can I use more than one voucher on the payment form to make a Booking?
At this point in time you can only use one Credit Voucher for each booking transaction.
-
If I cancel my Jetstar Hotels or Jetstar Holiday booking that I booked using a credit voucher, can I receive a refund in cash?
