    Double Status Credits - October 2023

    How long do the DSC normally take to post? Mine have previously been immediate with the standard credits, but I took a J flight yesterday and the DSC haven't posted yet while the standard ones have. Just wondering if I should chase.

    Experiences on Qantas staff travel

    Everything at Qantas is ranked. What position is your friend? Flight attendants are way down the list of priority, flight crew not too bad but the highest priority is senior managers. You could think you are on a flight and get pipped at the line but someone higher priority than your friend.

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    Yes I used this yesterday and it was excellent for a long black.

    Accor Plus Membership Discussion

    I always a qualify on spend rather than nights so unfortunately 20 nights makes no difference to me. I’d prefer a “spend” credit instead!

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    How does status work when moving quite quickly from silver to gold? I'm just about to hit the 250 Status Credits for silver, but will get another 250 within a few weeks after that for a total of over 500 ... Will that get me to gold or is the counter "reset" when I achieve silver so that I...

    How do status credits work?

    Thanks. I guessed that but I do find it a little confusing.

    How do status credits work?

    Can someone help me with this equation? - Currently Gold (needing 400 status credits to renew) - I have 403 status credits - But the status credits page says I have 283 of 400 to renew (my review date is 23 June) If I have 400 status credits now, shouldn't I be renewed? Thanks.

    Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

    I’m LTG do the status extension means nothing. And visit to the domestic business lounge really? I’m in there for 10 or 15 minutes before a flight. Now an F lounge pass I’d appreciate.

    Jetstar not appearing on Qantas booking engine for flights to Bali

    Yes fully available. I’ve called as well RE reward seats and they said none available, but I trust the website more. We are looking at 11 July out of Sydney.

    Jetstar not appearing on Qantas booking engine for flights to Bali

    We are intending on going to SYD - DPS next year for our twice delayed trip to Bali. QF flights are nearly booked out. JQ are not (in fact almost no seats taken). We are really hoping for reward seats, but JQ is not even appearing in the QF booking engine (for either revenue or reward...

    Points Club - new bonuses and benefits!

    And yet the Qantas club membership is *still* not transferrable for your most important higher tier members. Shame, Qantas.

    Qantas extends current status Until at least March 2021

    I got the email too. Although I am lifetime gold. Does that mean my status continues for a year after I die?

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    So effectively they are giving more benefits to non-status fliers than those that have status. Surely they could replace the (very valuable) Qantas Club benefit with something else for Gold and higher members? Points, SCs, upgrades, anything! Or at the very least make the membership...

    Trip to South America

    If it’s the same ticket they have as it’s an IATA rule. Same would be even if you connected from virgin to Qantas to United in the same intinerary.

    Trip to South America

    Was that all on one ticket? The problem seems to arise with separate tickets.

    Qantas Premier Credit Card

    What I don't get is how citibank hasn't improved this. I think this is about the fourth or fifth citibank product I've enrolled for over the last 10 years and it's as bad as it was on day one. I applied over a week ago and haven't heard nada.

    Trip to South America

    you were lucky with checking through your bags. Latham won’t do it in separate tickets even from Latam to Latam. I flew Syd-SCL-Aep last year and no amount of convincing would get the agent to check through my bags from my award trip (to SCL) and on to AEP (paid). As a result had to clear...

    LTP - the $1,500,000 reality

    It really takes a special type of flyer to make it. I’ve mentioned here before I have a friend who does weekly j returns to singapore. That’s 250 service credits a week so about 10 years to make LTP. She’ll never make it though as it just where her and the company she works for are at the...

    Qantas FF announcement 20 June - "biggest overhaul" in program history

    I remember it well. It was not well received but that was pre the days of credit card sign on bonuses. You get way more out of the program now if you fly and spend.

    Qantas FF announcement 20 June - "biggest overhaul" in program history

    I'm not sure this has been mentioned, but it certainly is not the biggest overhaul in the program history! - What about the move 25 years ago to move from EQK to status credits. Before then only "Golds" (which was top tier) got free Qantas Club and OW didn't exist. - Then there was the change...
