Great article but have a couple minor corrections/additions. First on American Airlines, you don't get Preferred Seating for free as a Qantas Gold, and I can say that as a Qantas Gold booked on several AA sectors:

Second, another big benefit of being QF Gold, particularly if you are QLD based is access to the Priority security zone in BNE domestic that dumps you right into the lounge. I'm unsure if there are other airports in Australia that provide similar service, but interesting nonetheless.

Hi there, I am currently a GOLD member and I held a paid Qantas Club membership prior to reaching GOLD. After all the extensions and status matches around Covid time I matched Gold status with QFF and have retained that until May 24. I also had my QC extended at the same time to Nov 23. What happens when you currently have a GOLD status with complimentary QC membership but your paid QC membership will expire before your GOLD status does. Do Qantas extend your QC membership for the time period you held GOLD status and add it onto your QC expiry date?Guide to Qantas Frequent Flyer Gold Status is an article written by the AFF editorial team:

Can anyone tell me if Qantas codeshare flights, i.e., emirates count for the 4 eligible flights per year for status upgrades?Guide to Qantas Frequent Flyer Gold Status is an article written by the AFF editorial team:

Per this Qantas webpage, it seems that so long as you have a Qantas or JetStar flight number attached to it you should be fine:Can anyone tell me if Qantas codeshare flights, i.e., emirates count for the 4 eligible flights per year for status upgrades?

The flights have to be on Qantas or Jetstar.Would Australia to UK on Emirates count as 1 or 2 flights, given the change in Dubai?

Check in My Account and scroll down. The expiry date of QC is shown and if you maintain status it will extend again.

Ah, thanks, I always assumed that meant Qantas. That makes it easier.It will count as 2 flights, as long as they have different numbers (which I think they would).
No they don't, they just have to be QF marketed.
Thank you, that was what I was thinking. Just curious as it would be on one PNR.It will count as 2 flights, as long as they have different numbers (which I think they would).

I should also point out that it is a misnomer that one needs to travel within/from/to Australia 4 times to earn Qantas status. The terms say 4 times on a QF or JetStar Group marketed flight. So that could mean a domestic flight in NZ or Japan (where JetStar and JetStar Japan operates). It could mean flying JetStar Asia between cities in Asia. Or as others have pointed out it could mean somehow getting on a QF codeshare. I bring this up as sometimes it is easier to earn status credits outside of Australia (US domestic flights come to mind such as the infamous San Francisco to Los Angeles via Dallas Fort Worth American routing that nets 200 status credits in business each way).

To me one of the more golden benefits is the fast-track security in many ports. Often the wait times in the general security are reasonable but sometimes the difference between the fast track and normal is a lot bigger and that's when it comes handy.
