An invitation from Lesley Grant

Got an invitation this morning. Don't know why it had to be done in the last minute. My flights for next week are already booked and I will be in SYD on the day but maybe I will manage to make it back to MEL on time for this.
Who else is going to the MEL event?

I received mine this morning also. Most likely I will accept the invitation, so you can count me in.
Have earned 500+ points with flights, cc spend, accommodation etc.
I have used a lot of points for flight upgrades, and a classic J return MEL-LAX x 2.
 
Qantas ran these last year as well and it was based on the number of points that were accumulated in individuals accounts for the previous 12 months. i.e. the highest earners got invites.

Do you have any idea how many QFF points you earned last year? (I'm guessing maybe financial year)

I just recieved the invite and find your comment interesting because aside from a few points here and there earned through car rental and so on I have not earned almost any QFF points in the past 2 years, only burned'em! Most of my points earn has been with another Oneworld program. I guess 2 return LAX with QF, one in F and one in J in the past few weeks might have been a factor, again points didn't go to QFF though. Perhaps they can see my Oneworld numbers and know I'd probably be a P1 this year if I was going with QFF. I think that I will go and explain to Lesley why I am not big on QF or QFF anymore :(

Reading other responses I think that this might be a bit of a "we want you back" function.
 
Got an invite for SYD. Am P1 and earned around 550,000 points in last 12 months and >4,500 SCs in last membership year.
 
Not me. Would like to attend something though. I find Lesley very interesting and engaging
 
Just got mine for the BNE event. Think I'll go.

For reference, I earned about 180k points in the last 12 months. Certainly on the lower end compared to 3m!!
 
Brisbane 14 Oct invite..... Pity they didn't cross reference my bookings and click that I am half way through my 4x140k qff rtw ticket and will be in London....

I doubt their EDM system is that technically sophisticated.

Besides, regardless of whether you can actually make it or not it's a nice gesture to be extended the invitation.
 
Got an invite for BNE.

4.5K SCs and around 450k in points in the last 12 months.

Invite received yesterday, must decline, departing on QF98 a few days before the event!
SC 4100
Earn ~1.3 million
Burn ~700k
P1 since inception, this is my first invite to anything :-(
 
Got the invite to the SYD function on the 7th. Will probably go. Earn about 800k points per annum, burn them all.

I have premium class travel with OW partners so maybe that's a factor? Also used a few JASA/FASA in my time... So perhaps they're just rubbing it in ;)

Also, I get the feeling this is an invite only event and you shouldn't share the invite specifics such as venue and time IMO.
 
Just got the Sydney invite this morning. Interested in going but don't think I'll know a soul there!

There is usually no dramas sharing the details as there is someone at the door checking off names.
 
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel with my invite to Sydney.
QF bookings the past three years were all online MASA's with no personal bookings the past 15 months. With 555 lifetime SC's, hardly been a FF with QF with current PS status fading fast.

Received mine this morning too, and think it would be interesting to attend. So that makes two of us who wont know a soul....

5 years as WP, total points earn for past 12 months was 615k, with 176k from flying and 430k from cards.
