My family and I enjoy the status if we can get it. Apart from using points it has allowed us to upgrade from Business to First on overseas flights 3 times now on Qantas. The higher the status the better chance of this occurring. Enjoying our next flight next month to the UK.
Ultimately, with all this backlash over these ‘gifts’, do they benefit me? Yes, my husband and I will now earn Platinum status on our return from the UK in October.
Love to hear from others who will benefit. Positivity is healthy.
