Probably LTSC debacle turned a few people off. One of my colleagues asked me what my thoughts on chasing LTG and I said don't chase it actively. If you get WP yearly then you'll naturally hit it. Don't pour more money in hopes of getting it as we've seen QF try to pull the rug from underneath us from this DSC promo.
The way they ran this promo has made me less interested in chasing lifetime status than I was before. It's made me realise they're experimenting with changes that make it harder to reach. Also the backflip was welcome but was handled poorly, and a bit eye-opening that they can just change the promo T&Cs a few days into the booking period. They really should have extended it by a day or 2.
@Ade, I hope that you're right: I plunged a few $k into a couple of "envelopes", hoping to "re-send" them to their correct destination soon. QF gave me the 4002 error multiple times (somehow, I was able to get a couple to go through) - every time I see that loading page with the dog, I now get anxiety.
@Himeno, I thought about combining them but as it's my first time pre-emptively purchasing, I thought separating them might be best - I will just pay the extra change fee. I did enquire with a travel agent friend of mine but they couldn't get the same fares that were on the QF website.
@FlyingKangaroo - thank you for the confirmation. This will be a new experience for me in the (hopefully) near future.
@RSD, I can confirm that mine arrived on the 2nd.
@muppet, I had some issues last time where I booked flights once the sale was announced but before I received the e-mail. I was told that these wouldn't count. I then deleted those bookings and had to re-create them. I think that my situation was a little bit different to yours though.Does anyone have experience with bookings made in the booking period but before clicking “register for double status credits” in the app?
No flame please - asking for a friend.
I just hope QF has learnt its lesson and keeps DSC counting to lifetime status for at least a few more years or so. I’m too far along the way towards LTG to want to give up on that now, but I still want to get it using DSC travel that counts towards LTSC.
Oooooooohhhhh. So that’s what it was about.Yeah, there’s a distinct lack of the usual DSC banter and double entendres. I’m making an effort and I’m glad to see others joining in
Perhaps add them to the glossary!I still get enquires following my offer last DSC to explain to people what ‘fight club’ meant. Am I going to have to also explain what ‘going to the cinema’ means?
The DSC arriving unexpectedly early was a bit of a downer for me but life goes on.
and whether the film was set in the outback or a foreign film or featured a double yoker or just red herrings.Oooooooohhhhh. So that’s what it was about.

I suspect it caught a few off guard - despite the question every other week “When’s the next DSC?” Followed by someone saying, “The day after I book QF1 First Class”…
Must admit @RooFlyer took me a while!Oooooooohhhhh. So that’s what it was about.
...... what ‘going to the cinema’ means?
