Thanks for all the very helpful suggestions. It does look like a short trip is the best way to go. Trying to get a comp from Qantas could be risky, would be the last resort imo.
Newbie question: will be 10 SC short to retain gold, membership ends 30 Sep. Already done green tier. What other options available besides a short hop to TAS (I'm MEL based)? Any possibility of buying SC using points? What is your experience?
Thanks for the quick replies.
Appreciate the quick replies, very useful information.
Unfortunate for us, the SC also did not credit into the Mrs' account, since she is not a point club member.
Does anyone know if you have to be the one flying to earn the SC? Can reward flights booked for family members earn SC under this scheme? Booked a reward seat in J SIN--MEL for the Mrs, booking appeared in my FF account with 48 SC but nothing get posted after the flight.
