Yes, between PCP and Green Tier, requalification for gold only required 450 SCs. Eminently doable for me as a leisure traveller who mostly flew economy but would stick a business leg in from SE Asia to Europe to get across the line. From next year, it'll require 700SCs to get the same thing...

It wouldn't be Green Tier if all the IT worked properly. I requalified a couple of weeks ago. Finally got all five leaves added automatically (wonders never cease!) but, well, no option to choose 50SCs. Will shoot off an email in a week or so, given that Green Tier is now not long for this world...

So many questions and thoughts. A few random ones that spring to mind, which I'm sure will be answered in due course: Will there still be a way of getting discounts on Qantas Wines for points buyers (replacing the 10% PCP benefit)? Will there be a mechanism to earn SCs on classic reward flights...

I wonder which will be finished first: the renovations or the train to the airport?

To go further, as HK Airlines is flying within the same IATA sub-area, but Qantas is the first carrier crossing it, it would be Qantas' rules. https://help.qantas.com/support/s/article/most-significant-carrier

IME, you can just log in with your Skywards number; i.e. you no longer need to have the number attached to your booking. Flying DXB-BCN in May (assuming war with Iran hasn't broken out or similar). Fortunately, the plane's been upgraded to a refurbished one with PE. Not looking forward to...

I think that at its core, VA's loyalty team forgot it's a small-ish domestically-focused mid-tier airline with several ad hoc airline partnerships with varying degrees of recognition of VA members. Simply put, they need to make it easier - much easier - to obtain status than Qantas given Qantas'...

I was looking at MEL-BNE-AKL return when the sale was on as I was toying with doing a status run to get WP. The Business Saver fares priced at $2.1k then and $2.1k now. :) But must... resist... I can't justify well over $2k just to get access to a few Flounges and a few other niceties (it...

I presume that's heading deep into the heart of cowboy country? EDIT Mind you, you'd need almost 500K points if it's the one I think you're referring to. PQQ-AKL can be done for about $2K all-in.

You'd need cash fares. You'll need to do a lot of flying to get 190 SCs (x2) through PC (or fluke a return flight to Europe in J). https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/earn-points/airline-earning-tables/classic-flight-rewards.html

PQQ-AKL via SYD, MEL or BNE in J will probably do the trick.

Yes, Suncorp resold white label Citi credit cards.

I’m assuming so.

My flight in May from MEL-SYD now shows the same. Wonder if it's the default now for all A321N flights regardless of the true loo situation?

Not yet - still a few more weeks per the T&Cs (up to 8 weeks from 31 Jan, so may not arrive until near the end of March).

Getting all the business class perks (except for the seat on the plane itself obviously) when travelling economy. Lounge, priority boarding, priority check-in, priority luggage, better seat selection (on most airlines anyway - looking at you MH!) etc. For daytime flights, it enables me to save...

Yes - points are credited on shipping.

Wine is always the answer!

Points buyers should note the Blue Pyrenees mixed packs are back. https://wine.qantas.com/p/mixed-blue-pyrenees-premium-red-six/MIX2503027 24450 points for $450 at 1.84cpp (25215 points for $405 at 1.61cpp for PCP).
