Got the double points email at 7pm (qualified for SG on Monday so fair enough) and the upgrade saver fares email at 9pm.
 
Interesting strategy. So they're targeting double points to Plats, and DSCs to everyone else.

And so soon after the last one! Must be a well-times strategy to turn some concerned QFFers into status-weilding VFFers.

There are exceptions to the rule already in this thread. There's WP with DSC & I'm SG but double points.

Huh. There you go. Must be targeted in another way. Could it have something to do with the reception of the last one? I utilised the previous offer, so maybe I was sent an offer this time?

Seriously though, who knows. There's obviously some customer value algorithm that must drive these (and other things just op-ups).
 
I got the email today, Double Status Credits, Platinum, Review date 14 June 2014. I haven't even gotten close to renewing and still it's too far out of reach to maintain WP for me. Do have a few flights between 14-25 June expected which will help me maintain Gold for the following year** (except for the fact that they will disappear into the SC black hole and I will need to chase them up!)


edit: whilst I registered for the DSC late last year for travel now, I didn't book a single flight
edit2: email received at 1826 UTC+8.

I got the DSC offer at 8.23pm earlier tonight, and was thinking was going to have to do it solo. Mrs Jimmy124 got her DSC offer a few mins ago at 10.23pm, so we may be doing a Princess Fiona and QSC as suggested by erkpod. We are both NB with VFF, now where to go?

There's so many variables.

Status level?

Previous offers?

Upcoming bookings?

Previous travel?

Recent point spends?

Hard to say if there's a plan or not. This is the first double points offer I remember since taking note of these things in late 2012.
 
Phew. Wasn't feeling loved there for a long time. DSC offer in the email

Well, Mrs Tooner is WP but a long way from re-qualifying, and she got the DSC offer.
I'm also WP but much closer to qualifying (and further from requal date) and got the double points offer.

There's logic there, but it may be from a tortured mind;)
 
got mail though a little while ago - double points. am gold but have quite a few flights coming up which i booked during the previous DSC offer, so i'm guessing that that may be why...
 
SG, will requal with tomorrow's flights with an August renewal date.

I received a DSC offer, just after I'd booked about 6 flights for mid year!

Did you book today? If you register during the promotion period, it may still apply. It says bookings from 12:01am 6 March.
 
My sense of time is warped at the moment, I wish it were today but unfortunately by just I mean last week :(

P.S looks like A332 is holding for tomorrow!
 
Got the DSC Offer and registered. Took a punt on the double points promo URL, found it and it let me register for that as well. Wonder if double dipping will work?
 
I'm guessing every Velocity member will receive an offer, but they're sent out in batches, my guess is in order of something like membership number.

I was going to laugh at your suggestion and even though I was already in Hotmail I did not see the Velocity email. I believe I have an early Velocity number but that is beside the point.

I have received the double SCs offer but is again useless to me like most Qantas offers. I need 70-80 SCs between July and August to maintain Gold. This promotion ends on 25 June. I have flights booked through to end September except for July school holidays.

Back to drawing board....

I signed up for VFF the day it launched many many years ago. No email about the upgrades, but did get an offer, so nothing to do with member number!
