    Would you still fly Qantas if it had no frequent flyer program?

    Agree, great question. Easy answer: No, nup, negatory. My partner and I are able to collect enough QFF points for a couple trips a year for our family of 4 with a mix of international and domestic every year, often with legs in J. Combine with WP/PC+ and things like Flounge experiences even...

    Qantas extends status extensions until end June 2023 (previously December 2022)

    No sign of my partner's SC rollover either. End date was 31 Jan, the PC+ 100 SC appeared the next day, but still no sign of the rollover 500 SC....

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Nup. Very annoying. I've got 2 leaves so far, though I should have 3 and I can't see which ones, unlike last year. And no sign of the quiz again...

    Qantas brand badly tarnished

    No and yes. Not a storm in a teacup, I’ve flown 19 sectors this year and 17 were dysfunctional in some way. The two that weren’t was a status flight with no checked in baggage, so even those two come with a caveat. Unfortunately and, frankly disgustingly, Qantas does have a degree of Teflon...

    20% bonus Qantas Points from credit cards [targeted, with personalised minimum points earn for 3 months]

    Nup, my card has swept and no bonus points yet either, minimum requirement was definitely met.

    Qantas brand badly tarnished

    This exactly - I don't believe the current situation is even about genuinely saving money but it looks to me like an on-paper P&L improvement exercise to make the execs look better - the reason I suspect this is examples like the unlawful* sacking of those 2000 baggage handlers and aircraft...

    Qantas brand badly tarnished

    You know there are deep-rooted problems when the flight staff are openly frustrated with Qantas - flew MEL-SYD the other day, called to board on time, then waited at the gate half an hour, then boarded rapidly (for a wide-body), all usual circumstance these days, but the CSM then announced...

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    100% agree. When I make LTG, I'll be semi-retired and able to afford overseas flights in the pointy end on any damn airline I please and it won't be Qantas if they continue with their mediocre and paltry rewarding of loyalty.

    Point Club Plus - Sharing of Qantas Club membership under consideration

    Excellent idea, suspect a high proportion of PCP members are SG or higher. Always felt a bit meh - “hey there SG/WP, good work for hitting PCP, here’s access to the QP, which you already had access to, aren’t we generous and rewarding” :rolleyes:

    Qantas extends status extensions until end June 2023 (previously December 2022)

    Same thing just happened to me. Do you have any update?

    What is Qantas playing at?

    I agree. I used to be a Joyce proponent as Qantas was a business basket case and he turned it around somewhat, but now the Qantas brand has been trashed. I understand the share price and credit rating are important so that an airline can get funding for future aircraft purchases among other...

    20% bonus Qantas Points from credit cards [targeted, with personalised minimum points earn for 3 months]

    3100 points for a 20% bump for me. I did churn a cc within the last 12 months, but that was a MasterCard, so suspect that 3100 is likely to be my Amex 12 month rolling average.

    What cheeses me off

    This really cheeses me off too! I was approaching the carousel in Sydney couple years ago just in time to see a bloke pick up my luggage and head off. 30 seconds later and he and my bag would have been out of the terminal. He did have an identical bag but clearly didn't bother to check the name...

    Looking to recall a particular wine in the domestic lounges

    Was it the Qantas Club lounge or the business lounge? I'll be in the latter on Tuesday arvo so I'll do some 'research' for you.

    Points Club Plus Status Credit Rollover: simpleton question

    Same thing happened to me. I had a couple others, so didn't bother chasing up but I think you'd get faster results phoning - I emailed Q support for something else a week ago and still no reply. Having said that, I've found the Qantas hotel bookings ph number and staff more responsive and more...

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    Not sure if anyone else still has this issue, but couple months down the track and I still have one glitch - the loyalty bonus count is still missing SC earned from award flights (points club member). They were included after the flights were flown but disappeared after that SC issue started...

    Qantas "Choose your reward" Promo. Select from Double Status Credits OR Double Points [book 25/3/22-1/4/22]

    That happened to me with last year's DSC promo - booked and paid ~ 11.50 pm, and the tickets came through a few min past 12 am. The DSC did post in the end, so in theory you should be good (though you may need to phone support if they don't...)

    Qantas "Choose your reward" Promo. Select from Double Status Credits OR Double Points [book 25/3/22-1/4/22]

    So the T&C's say "Double Qantas Points and double Status Credits will be credited to your account from eight weeks after travel." - are they really going to take 8+ weeks to post, or can we expect ~48 hours like last year's promo? I'm using this promo to scrape into WP 2 weeks before my...

    Fully spent Qantas Pass

    Exactly the same here - I fully spent a Qantas pass well over a month ago and it's still listed in My Bookings. I also had 4 credits and just one mysteriously converted to a QPass.

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    I've been wondering the same things myself - I've had the 5 green leaves for 2 days now and no button or link for the bonus 50 SC yet....
