    Q1 QF points and SC are earned on the (departure) day of the flight. Not the day booked. Q2 To me you have little to nil chance earn 150 SC in the next 5 weeks (by 31 Dec). Unless you fly a lot and/or business class. You are only 50% of the way. QF Silver does not have many benefits. QF Gold...

    Have to ticket bookings Qatar and MAS. Can they send luggage through to final destination.

    Interlining bags on separate reservations varies a lot. No set rules. For example AirNZ, AA & BA will never interline, even to themselves. QF Qantas will interline QF to QF, QF to EK and QF to a OW airline where a reward flight is involved. MH will interline bags on separate OW reservations...
