airline status

Hi there, This is my first post on AFF (although often read articles here)! Thanks to everyone for making this community happen. I am planning to book a trip to Sri Lanka later in the year and was looking at the Qantas status earn rates to see what is best value for earning/retaining status...

So I've been pondering lately whether the double status credit promos are really worthwhile... In my own experience even when i receive the Double SC targeted promos, I prefer to wait for Sale fares which I find are usually 50% off the Saver fares This effectively means that for the same $...

Have Qantas change their policy? Previously I had successfully claim for Business Fare Qantas Point and Status Credit after bidding upgrade with Malaysia Airlines for a number of times. The recent trip was unsuccessful as the Qantas agent pointed to me that all bid upgrade now only paid base on...

Hilton Honors is currently running a promotion in conjunction with Visa, for Visa Infinite and Visa Signature credit card holders living in the Asia-Pacific region (including Australia and New Zealand). By registering on the Visa website you can get instant Hilton Honors Gold status after 2...

Bear with me a moment..... the first time I remember any kind of status credit "promo" was in 2009 during the GFC. The company I was working for went bust and I went from 15x international business trips a year on QF to zero. Needless to say, I was jobless and grounded (pun intended). So keeping...

Hi everyone, Back in February my QF WP status dropped to my LT SG status. Due to changes in work duties I rarely travel for work so the life time Gold status will now come into play for my personal international trips :) Anyway last week I did my first QF trip since the drop and checked in...

I have been running my re-qualification for QP down to the wire (exp May 31) and I am currently at 1180 status credits. Following my last flight this week that took me to this level i have noticed that my account now shows the following even though i have not yet reached the 1200 point...

I'm about to book a big trip on BA. Does anyone know if Qantas will give me my gold status credit bonus? I can't get on to chat.

In the past where possible I have tried to consolidate my travels on One World carriers to retain status. I now have a number of flights coming up on Star Alliance carriers in the next six months, some of which are in economy and if possible would love have lounge access. Can anyone recommend...

Hey everyone! First time posting here and I would appreciate knowing if anyone else has the same issue I have discovered. I was wondering if someone could explain to me what Qantas' Tier Status Bonus applies to? From their website the criteria are: Qantas flights. I am gold so would have...

Is there a value to have continuous status eg gold or platinum? Having had platinum for a few years I am going to lose it end of next travel year but more than likely regain the following year Wondering is it of value to do a status run to maintain? I will have 700 odd credits but not the 1200

Not that Air Italy status is of much use if you're not flying on Air Italy, but I notice that you can pay €500 to buy a year of Gold status in lieu of the usual qualification requirements. Now if only Air Italy would join Oneworld ;)...

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has any experience on this. In relation to the guaranteed reward seats for Gold/Plat members; are these booked into revenue buckets and do you subsequently receive status credits on those flights? Thanks in advance.

Hi all. I've got a BNE-MEL return trip (Flexi and Saver) and BNE-SYD-CBR-BNE (Saver, 2x flexi) trip booked before I hit the last day of my membership cycle. I just noticed I was (sort of) tantalisingly close to hitting Platinum and needed 281 status credits to get there. I'm thinking there's...

As a retiree I usually only do one overseas trip a year and was surprised when booking a trip to Europe with Qantas recently to find the checked luggage allowance for Silver FF has been reduced to the same level as Bronze members. When did this change occur and why wasn't it publicized? Apart...

Looks like there is another double status credit promo coming up on Monday. Book by 27 May, travel until April 14 2020. https://experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/offer?channel=agent&promo_code=VADBLSTAT

This thread is for discussion about the ongoing Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles status match offer. The following AFF article contains more information about this status match: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/turkish-airlines-status-match/

I have an SQ F saver redemption (O class) flying MEL-SIN-BKK RT for next year with my VFF number linked to the booking. Will this flight earn VA SC's & if so, roughly how much? I usually hover around 100-110 SC's as a VA Red, but if the above flight does earn SC's I might book a few Dom...

If you join QF. FF in June and aquire gold in October when does the gold expire. In the following June or October, or is it June the year after. Thanks

Hi all My employer has a policy that does not permit me to accrue status credits or points for flights. Is there a way to get my WP number on the booking so I get priority seat selection and lounge access but not actually accrue any points or status credits in the process? Cheers m
