A pretty generous offer from QF all things considered and certainly helps me out personally.
* My Platinum status renews 31st May 2020 and I still need 110SC to requalify.
* I had a trip booked to Thailand over Easter break that was going to credit 140SC and thus requalify me for another year of Platinum.
* I also had a series of trips booked under the recent DSC offer that were going to get me over the line to requalify by end of May 2021. Most of those trips are booked from June-Sept of this year. Suspect most if not all will now be off the table.
I was kinda already resigned to losing my QF WP and restarting my approach to flying from scratch when this madness is finally over in 6-8-10 months time. Was mulling in my mind the best strategy, airline(s) and alliance to pursue when that time comes... maybe time to check out other brands?
So as well as being generous offer... also strategically smart to keep people like me semi "
locked-in" to QF/OW. As the saying goes.. don't give your loyal customers a reason to try the competition.
And I should add that QF has me by the mizocks to a large degree... seeing as when I eventually cancel all my current eleven QF bookings one-by-one... I will end up with $10K of vouchers that I can only use with QF. So that too.
