Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

[clifford]

It would be extraordinary bad faith by Qantas if they turned 1200 at the end of September into 1400 next September because of some change coming in 2027.

And that would surprise you? It's Qantas. They have form.

Of the poor variety, generally.

Could you not just make multiple transactions a day apart to get to desired outcome?

That was my plan

Yeah I believe so, just transfer in <125k batches

Do we really believe that Qantas won't change it mid-way through the year? Is their IT actually good enough to show different targets to different people?

Geez, I must be going soft on Qantas! Yes, I think Qantas will hold the 1200 for 2026 new membership years, but I wouldn't put my house on it.

I reckon they'll honour it. Numbers for WP seem to finally be on the fall post pandemic and those living on magic plastic finally having to wind their necks in helps there. If we do hopefully see interest rates above 5.5% things should balance more in favour of those of us who read the room and live within our means.

Lulz. Good developers in Australia. Qantas won't pay for them.

There's dozens of us!

There's dozens of us!

Rather my point.

Sorry if this has already been discussed and I've missed it, but I noticed Qantas has posted a list of eligible partners for each SC on the ground category - is this new?

It's more extensive than I was expecting, which is good as I think most categories should be relatively easy to pick up without much additional cost. The trickier or more expensive categories are likely to be Holidays & Experiences and Banking & Home Loans.

New one on me, mate; still not a fan of this SC on the ground nonsense, though.

Banking has a few easy path: zip pay and Webull have welcome offers, qantas pay is probably easy too.
Holiday & experience seems a bit tricky indeed, and the green offset one seems too costly, I am hopping they had more partners in that category
