    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    The T&Cs say "Once the registration period is closed, Qantas will not accept changes to members' preferred bonus reward choice." That suggests you can change it in the next few days. Also see above.

    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    What a turnaround. Maybe the reasons they mentioned in the email response about needing a sustainable scheme were outweighed by the backlash?

    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    Unbelievable. Clearly they need to cull those marching took quickly to LTG.

    P1 Rebrand

    I was surprised to receive a set too, I'd have guessed they were only sending these new ones out for renewals. I also note the electronic boarding passes clearly say 'PLATINUM ONE' next to the logos, while other statuses (NB, WP) don't. Being P1 didn't save me from indifferent service on my...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    300 SCs left I’d definitely go for it, but not say >1,500.

    Travel In Switzerland

    Not stupid. If you dread rather than are looking forward to hiring and driving a car, let someone else worry about being behind the wheel/running the train. It might be a good investment so you can relax and enjoy your trip. Sometimes I just don't want the hassle of worrying about parking...

    International Qantas Awards Available One way but not Return.

    IMHO (and it's only my guess) it is about forcing you to pay $$ for one of the flights, often the return, or take an undesirable stopover. I bet they have analysts crunching the numbers and dedicated to maximising profits and filling seats. It's not about polluting the planet further. Even with...

    I used to hang out here a lot....Velocity's 20th birthday

    I remember (some of) crazydave's posts and loved the involvement. Nice to see him pop back to say hi... and I do wonder about and miss some of the other prolific posters from 'back in the day.'

    Nice but shame my upcoming flights have companions

    P1 Rebrand

    From the P1 email that just came out it said the update will be “help our frontline teams identify you more easily”. The cynic in me says that’s an admission we kept on being overlooked and ignored, and now this will get staff to KWIA!

    Little things I like

    Having AFF as a place on the Internet to come to when I want to totally tune out of domestic and global politics - which is quite often nowadays.

    MEL short overnight

    I’d also stay at a hotel, as having access to a private bed and bathroom makes me feel much more human, ahead of possibly a day of flying. But it seems you have a much higher tolerance for overnighting in terminals!

    Maximising SC Earn on Partner Flights

    Presumably you mean NAN for Nadi, Fiji https://www.world-airport-codes.com/colombia/macanal-4310.html

    First reward flight SYD-LHR. Are my expectations too high?

    Have a great trip, it's worth trying once so you don't die wondering and can speak from experience. You might have a fantastic experience (hopefully things will get better after you get off JQ - for a short initial leg it's not that bad), but you already know to go in with low expectations. It...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Received the tax invoice error email too, which looks a lot more professionally formatted. Given I'll drop from P1, a new blue card that'll last a few months will be a novelty.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Thanks for reporting back. Happy it's not a hack, but irritated at QF for this amateurish confusion. I feel like replying and quoting links to their own privacy policies and the OAIC back at them. I can't wait for my blue card to arrive. /sarcasm

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    I got this "Here is your tax invoice" email too (once), as a P1. What the heck? The FF and QC links look legitimate apart from the fact they're not https. The PDF preview (I didn't open the PDF) has my name, address and FF #. If this is a legitimate email, why on earth would they think links to...

    Possibility of reaching Platinum

    If you haven’t already, noting there’s no current double SC offer I’d start with this article: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/qantas-status-runs/ And the last few pages of this thread...
