I was about to post the opposite! If you have a quiet year planned next year, the soft landing to plat may be worth it. Think of it as requalifying for platinum with 200sc...

I wonder if the qantas club in your membership isn't your free one from Points Club Plus, which is obviously redundant, but still technically exists...

I mean, this would disappear as a problem if airlines stopped making one way international trips so much more expensive than returns...

One final question, booked my flights today, realised I didn't have the card I wanted to use on me, so paid the $25 to 'hold the booking'. I thought that held it for 24hrs, it's actually a month... I have a booking reference, just need to pay the balance (99.9% of the fare) by 26th of March...

Ah, so I need to buy something cheap and the new voucher with the remaining balance will have a booking date in DSC!

I have a customer care credit voucher (which has a booking reference) I wonder if I book a flight using it, whether it will count as new booking today for DSC or when the voucher was issued...

So the flight I'm currently looking at, which is probably QFi's most popular route, at Christmas, so most popular (read expensive) time: Syd-Lhr in J Flex pricing $17,000 CR = 289,200 points = 5.87c per point value Points plus pay = 3,000,000 = 0.567c per point value. Now we know QF prices...

Called through, got though to Hobart straight away requested: QF296 business for May Reward approved, domestic leg added and ticketed within 10 min total call time!

Got offered 1500pts for spending $190 in a week, was so insulted I've been shopping at Coles all week.

I've been checking sporadically, haven't had a survey to complete for over a year!

Just bumping this, going to take out an annual plan as have several trips planned in the next 15 months. First of those is in May, question is when should I start the policy. Theoretically I’m risking some event that would stop me going in May happening now, but that’s a small list. With a 12...

Surely the 25 words are not actually going to be read and are just to get around 'skill vs lottery' legislation! Having said that, I googled aesthetic unusual views of Paris, to give them a good image to go with my successful trip (as my fat mug ain't going to 'fly' in marketing).

Awesome, doing Syd-BKK CR and BKK - LHR AY Revenue J in May. (J return to London for $3600 and 160k points which is actually bookable) Will be interesting to compare the QF AYJ to the AY AYJ back to back!

Can I confirm (seem logical, but) that points club attracts status credits on these flights? They are still qantas flights not codeshares right?

Wellington - syd QF 164 delayed due to 1hr late arrival for QF162. Looks like I'll be pushing my departure Syd - HBA with a connection time now of 45 mins Int to Dom, which should be fun.
