Gotta feel for the (generally) great agents in HBA to be honest. Yeah it's their job and all, but all this extra cough they have to deal with now because QF can't or won't resolve the underlying issues is just painful, and the added problem is extra wait times for service for high status people so it's a lose/lose.
It's why, as I consider some DSC that have not posted, I wonder do I email them, or qff, or what? it's not urgent.. doesn't need a call, but kind of annoying for such a trivial thing.
I try only to email when it isn’t urgent. Happy to wait for some days for a response and far prefer having an email trail that has the history for when I invariably have to follow up on something with a different agent (phone calls to QF or any service provider I feel I have to start afresh with the whole story).Gotta feel for the (generally) great agents in HBA to be honest.

1800 BIS SC for someMy powers of deduction are telling me that the reason for the change to not emailing them is that the VIP/SST email response team have been re-allocated to fixing partner Award booking disasters.
Qantas to fix Award Ticketing Failures
Which is great for these pax but not exactly a positive outcome for those of us earning 3600 BIS SC a year.
Nice! I did ~161K in 2019; biggest year was ~245K in 2013.Got this news in the email. Not sure whether to be proud or disappointed (in myself). LOL
You've flown 141,117 kms in the last 12 months and are in the top 10% of Platinum One flyers, congratulations
245k! That's nuts!Nice! I did ~161K in 2019; biggest year was ~245K in 2013.

No: a looooong way off. I chucked heaps of miles at SQ to make and keep Gold.Guessing you’re close to lifetime WP?

Geez now that is a good invitationOpened my emails today to see my third ever P1 invite - the the Harry Styles concert in Sydney. Still working out whether I can / want to go but nice to have received an invite. Gotta figure out how to get an invite to the rugby!
Whether you want to go or not it might be worth finding out if it is QF hosted or will they just send you the tickets. IME any event that is QF hosted e.g. restaurant openings, drive days or sports events in a box the P1 has to be in attendance. I have received a couple of invites to the ballet and they just send you the tickets and anyone can use them. When I received the first ballet invite I called SST to enquire if I had to be there and was advised no, so my wife and daughter went.Opened my emails today to see my third ever P1 invite - the the Harry Styles concert in Sydney.
