Changing QFF anniversary / review months?

[drcam]

I'm going to Canada with my family via Fiji / HKG in July of 2027 and we are all flying in J so we will earn a minimum of 620 SCs with QFF if we choose.
My anniversary date for QFF is September 30, so I am wondering if I could change my anniversary date to June by closing my account and then reopening a new one, say in June next year. My goal is to then be able to tack this onto another trip the following year so I can potentially earn platinum for 2028-9.

I have never had any status with Qantas up to now and have basically drained my account of all my points.

Has anyone here had any experience or precedent with this?

I don't have experience and the T&Cs around this are very sparse, but presumably this might also void any SCs towards lifetime status?

I don't mind voiding lifetime status as I am unlikely to ever get to even Lifetime Silver before dying of old age.

@drcam Interesting question and I will put forward my experience as I have 1st hand experience in this. As background I had joined QFF back in 1991/2 and had one of the old number ranges, in 2015 my QF account was hacked. I had spoken with QF and they said they could purge my old account and set up a new one, at the time I was interested in retaining my status, FF points and didn't think about LT SC. Within a day or so I had a new QF number, the same status and FF points however I noticed that the SC had reset to zero. At the time I was pretty close to LTG and when I called QF (around a week later) about the SCs reverting to zero I was advised that my old account had be purged from the system so they could not check and reinstate the LT SCs. From memory they did add some token (minimum) SCs based on my transferred status. IME experience it is possible to change the anniversary date but this was not by my choice.
