Howdy all,
Long-time reader, first-time poster here.
Disclaimer: I’ve never payed much attention to QF Status, so forgive me for this likely foolish question-
Recently I’ve found myself in a fortunate position allowing for regular domestic hops in J (despite the pandemic, which is a pleasant surprise). I figured I may as well put these newfound Status Credits to use, but I’d really appreciate some clarification surrounding the deadlines to attain/retain Status. I’m currently Bronze (lame, I know), and have until August 30 2021 to earn 260 more Status Credits and attain Silver. Achieving this shouldn’t be too difficult, but here’s where I’m confused: I will likely reach the 300 Status Credits required to attain Silver relatively close to the end of my Membership Year. So, assuming it’s now June/July 2021 and I’ve reached Silver, I then have to earn another 250 Status Credits to retain this Tier (which is a more difficult feat). Considering Qantas resets one’s Status Points at the beginning of each Membership Year, does this mean I will completely lose Silver on August 30 2021 (shortly after attaining it), or will I retain this Tier and only lose new Status Credits that are being earned towards Gold?
Thank you in advance!
