Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

You might be mistaken there. Go to your status activity on the website (not the app). In the lifetime section, it's broken down to 'Already earned' and 'Earned this year' You'll probably find the 'Earned this year' agrees with the SC total in the app unless yours is the first forum reported glitch in this test phase.
Earned this year on the App and in the LTSC counter on the website (both of which match) is lower than the number of SC I have posted in my activity summary for the year.

If you have SC on the Ground showing, then you should expect the current totals to be less than manually adding up.

They won’t roll into your total until 8 Dec - we assume.

I already have 30 SCs on the ground. I need 20 SCs on the ground more (achievable) in addition to already booked flights to maintain Plat for another year :)
 
20 status credits have turned up for Insurance under By Category/By Date. Not in my status credits total yet, but has been added to my Lifetime Status Credits.

Still waiting on 5 other categories I've also qualified for.
Same, insurance has landed but nothing else yet despite qualifying.

That is my working theory too. By then my membership year will have rolled so I expect they will never count for anything other than LTSC.

Oh, another 30 Nov year end?

Yes, I guess they ought to count to LT status but will be sad to see them come and go without counting towards your annual tally…
 
It's not really a working theory. Qantas outright state the total will not add up.
Well aware of what Qantas have stated. My original post was in response to this, which is clearly incorrect:

Christmas Day flight was going to have me retain WP but as SC on the ground landed overnight, I will get an early Christmas present on 8 December 🧑‍🎄
Not so Mr Flyfrequently - he hasn't earned any SCotG 🤣

The new category view is pretty handy for SCotG, not for much else. Just Car, Banking and Insurance that I haven't snagged, Car I will get from my wife's car and BP but it is a slog, 300 and change points to go. Insurance likely ain't happening, straight thru to the keeper for me based on the overheads. Banking I may get based on the recent QF Pay promo (I wouldn't use it otherwise but it was a 2 x fx points plus 500 pts for $100 intl purchase stack so I figured why not). Depends on if they can separate bonus points or not but if it works I'll take it as a hedge against the horrible rate I got on that fx.
 
So far have received 90 SC on the ground. Hotels, credit cards, insurance and everyday shopping posted yesterday, and banking and retail today. Only other one that I should receive is car, bringing total to 100. Unlikely to get the other 40.

For banking, my bonus points with Q Pay load counted and got my SC, otherwise I would have been 14 points short @33kft
Think bonus points particularly apply to credit card sign ups

Great news, thanks for confirming. Looks like I will have that one in the bag once the points land
 
Just mulling over the value of getting 10 SCs for sustainability which would cost $100, or $10 per SC.

Doesn;t sound spectacular value. I might wait for a DSC offer on SCotG.
