Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

And this just now in my app

Might be worth grabbing a screenshot just in case

The “Print” button has returned. Print to PDF?

There is going to be the biggest outcry on 9 Dec (and later), when people discover that what Qantas told them about achieving status this year isn't actually true...

I hope I'm wrong, but....

It’s reasonable to assume you are. As others have said up thread, the new threshold kick in 2027.

I’m curious to hear what Dec/Jan member year folk get. Possibly a Christmas present?

Just looking at my QFF account and I am wondering if my higher SC attain target is already in place. In past years I have received something from QF indicating I have requalified as WP once I hit 1,200. This year, crickets and still waiting.

Well, I got a 600SC requalification last week, and it’s advertised as starting 2027, so no you’re not facing 1400 requalification.

 

[TheCollecter]

Not what the QF website is telling me. It seems to have kicked in slyly. I think if your member year finishes next year the new requal requirements have already kicked in. I would have requalified but my member year finishes end Apr.

Swings and roundabouts. I'll probably have a small rollover. Hopefully that will have kicked in too.

Yep, same for me.

I received an email about requal as WP and the app did the little “celebration” thing (tinsel flying etc).

App and website still showing 1200 SCs required to retain WP by July 2027.

It's simply far too early.
The website won't reflect the fact that you have retained WP until it gives up on you attaining P1 this membership year.

My bad. I deleted dud post. I always reckon on “we’ll all be rooned”.

Is being “rooned” the same as being “Joyce’d” ?

My year ends 30 November and I’m on 1180 SCs. Today I received an additional 40 ‘on the ground’ SCs in my activity statement, but not reflected in total of 1180 SCs. Have I requalified or do I still need 20 SCs?

SC on the ground hasn't actually started yet, they're still testing things. Those 40 you have don't actually exist (yet).

And yet they say to rely on your activity statement.

I wouldn’t count on them since they’re officially starting on 8 Dec.

However, you *might* get lucky since the underlying activity has obviously taken place prior to 30 Nov - so they *might* count retrospectively. No one knows.

I assume you’ve got a trip planned?

I’ve got a fresh 50 SC status bonus I was/am going to pull the trigger on to get me across the line.

I guess if you see your “retained” tick over prior to 30 Nov, then those 50 SCs will be a nice kick start for the new year (regardless of the retain threshold in play - probably 1200 would be my guess).
