I'm not doubting that, but whichever way you spin it, the PR on their antics isn't good, so anything positive they can spin helps. At the end of the day, a lot of people use QF out of either a lack of options or being bonded to QFF (as most of us are in one way for better or worse, hence why...

Agree, but with so many other airlines ruining their loyalty programs (BA was a very good program for lifetime Emerald, attracting a lot of US and European flyers, until their recent move to revenue), this could be a heap worse. I would be around 18 months from LTG at current average earn rate...

Sadly, I see it as very unlikely this would be a random, one-off, I suspect that from now DSC will no longer count toward LT (just as DSC hasn't applied to QF coded flights on partner metal since 2017, other than the AY codeshares SYD-SIN/BKK, which are for all intents and purposes QF flights)...

Yeah, no email here, but the confirmation turned up straight away when registering, and all the details show in the app.

Prob the whole $90M fine for violating FW rules...that sort of thing doesn't do them any PR favours either. I suspect the whole thing is to increase revenue and to brush any negative publicity under the carpet. Anyone on the status train will book regardless, this brings forward potentially a...

Nope, always counted towards lifetime until now. Even the 600 SC given in 2021 for pandemania counted towards lifetime (the 500 rollover in 2022/23 didn't count). I remember in 2020 (? whenever BP joined up with QF), they tried to exclude the 50SC from that from lifetime, but there was the...

From past experience, yes you'll still get them, any booking avenue on QF metal/QF code booked within the DSC booking window and flown within the DSC flying window will earn.

In my experience (had DSC flights from the last round flown last month) it's within a couple of days of the flight. Even if they don't, they count from the date flown, so even if they're late, they still count towards your current year.

Grateful DSC is still a thing, but those not counting towards LT either is a shame. Very disappointed with the SC gift not counting towards LT though, basically makes it useless for probably the majority.

Ah, welcome! N0mad has pretty much covered it - I wasn't asked for anything by Amex, but that was a few years ago. HSBC's statement should do the trick from what I've read of others' experiences. I don't think you need to abandon this app though. I've spoken with others and it doesn't seem...

I'm def going to do the cash at time of booking going forward for that one, all my other options were long haul and wanted thousands of points vs $2.80 this way.

I offset a MEL-SYD at time of booking (as it's always 50/50 whether it'll work retrospectively), that's appeared. So two to go. The donation is usually one, and the offset the other...now I need to rethink.

Yep, TAS used to be $15 originally though :(

Haha indeed, good way to reset the clock for both of us!

Approx two months ago I was finally approved again for QF Ultimate. Can’t remember the gap unfortunately sorry, but I did enter a US Amex number on the application, not sure if that helped. Prior to that both P2 and I had been out of the Amex AU ecosystem for about 3.5 years, with a year and a...

You're right, I didn't realise that, but have just taken P2's total earned this year and it's exactly 10k short of the PC total. No secret either, it's clearly on the website, I just didn't read it haha. They do have a redeemable value of course, I'd ballpark that at $150-$200 at the low-mid...

No worries - so the MVNOs have different rules, that's good to know. Looks like some quick roaming data might be the way forward! Also agree having more than two active lines, although making things complicated, would make life easier haha. Having a work phone provides an extra "slot" at least...

Must admit I had to do the sums this year, I do P2's whenever and mine close to year end, so I can use the 50SC in the next year. I've never come close to needing the 50SC, but lifetime is helpful; P2's are always 10k QF points. Each year, for OH, I get closer to not bothering - $50 for the...

Definitely read up on the expiry policy - it could be 3/6/12 months, and it'll be easy to avoid, but you don't want to suddenly find out it's been shutdown through lack of use. I have an EE SIM I've had for probably 15 years, I send a SMS once every six months to make sure it remains active...

Even more clever move when you consider the fact that the points won't turn up anyway = zero cost /s
