First time visitor and poster, so if I have this wrong apologies. I am 90 Status Credit Points away from Lifetime Gold. Given COVID over last 18 months flying has basically stopped. So I am looking at alternate ways to gain status credit points. I came across BP spend $50 over 5 times in a...

Does anyone know if there is a way to create or request a reconcilation report over (say three) membership years showing how each line item Status Credit activity impacts Lifetime Status Credits, Earned This Year, Already Earned etc? I know the new Activity Statement shows some of this info in...

Air New Zealand has matched Qantas' status match offer for AU/NZ residents. Have Gold status (or higher) with Qantas, Virgin Australia, or any other airline except Cathay Pacific or another Star Alliance carrier? You can now get 4 months of Air New Zealand status, and earn 100 status points...

Hi, This is more a failure on my part but I just needed to rant a lil:p I'm a Qantas platinum member and tbh given the way Covid has been for my work, even with any points assistance it's going to be pretty difficult for me to maintain it. Still wanting to give it a red hot go, I was actually...

I have signed up for the QF status challenge and I also have QR Platinum status, is there a way I can use the free seat selection with my QR status but credit the flight to QF for the status challenge? I added the QF FF number on the booking and not surprisingly the system doesn't recognise that...

I must have been a Virgin Plat for 10 years or so. Partner ditto. Qantas have well-defined Lifetime status targets for Lifetime Gold and Plat etc. Most airlines do. I cannot recall ever seeing any Virgin equivalent - is there? I got Lifetime Star Alliance Gold for me and a partner many...

Hi all Just wondering if anyone on AFF has taken advantage of QFF's 18month Status Hold offer when you welcome a new bubs? Be keen to hear your experiences - e.g. even if you take 6 months parental leave, do you get the full 18 month extension? Thanks!

Hi, I have done a few searches, and looked through the last 10 pages of the forum, and haven't found an answer ... I hope it hasn't been answered a dozen times already! I need to book a flight asap to keep my status for the next year (my status expires on 31 March). My question is: can I book...

Unsurprising that they’ve extended the dates. I reckon there’s still a good chance they’ll automatically extend everyone’s status anyway, even though this promotion is then somewhat undermined.

I am planning to go on a interstate trip with my family during Christmas period this year. I am keen to maximise the status credit of this trip. What is the likelihood that there will be any double status credit promotion before Christmas? Or should I just book now? Any suggestion welcome!

Hi All, Did anyone take up the 50 status credit offer with Qantas Insurance? My points have posted, but not the status credits. Has anyone received them yet? I thought both the points and status would credit on day 60. Thank you

Hi everyone. New to the forums, greetings to all. I've already been helped out quite a bit by reading up on various stuff from here and it was time to register an account. I have one questions which has bothered me. I organised a couple of overseas trips with my father a couple of years...

Hi there, I was wondering whether anyone knows what date Qantas consider status credits to be earned - when they are earned via a credit card promotion. Based on this example, do Qantas consider the status credits to be earned on 7 December or 10 December? Many thanks in advance.
