Double SC's - A mere Marketing tool or Doom for WP?

Re: WP for the first time ever

Congratulations ashleyn! It takes a lot of Y flying to get to WP!

Enjoy the benefits, as it certainly makes travel more enjoyable than sitting out in the terminals.


@ Fepers, by all means start your own threads to put across your own opinions, but how about you pull your head in and stop hi-jacking other peoples threads with continual negative comments?

Re: WP for the first time ever

It definitely was published as all WP's got the email saying it was changing.

And I am considered to be the one who complains here?

This ATA deserved to be dropped, why should you get access to the lounge when you are not flying with QF.

One of my main beefs with lounge overcrowding at the moment is at SIN, but I don't expect SQ to let me into the lounge Silver Kris lounge when I am on a QF flight, even though I am PPS.

Great move by QF to remove the access.

How am I off topic? This goes to the core of my argument, I am not attacking the people, I am attacking the system.

Umm.. did I mention you in my post? No I didn't.. Did i mentioned whether i agreed or was outraged? No i didn't.

so please jump off the high horse. the thread is about congratulating the people who have attained Platinum, not about the SIN lounge.

Your apology is accepted

I didn't apologise to you and certainly don't need to.

 

[serfty]

2 further examples on this thread alone of the continued devaluation of WP and SG and proof of its use as a marketing tool.

Change is in the wind

Obvious marketing - the Double SC's offer looks to have encouraged to OP to book more expensive flexi fares where they may not have done so otherwise.

More $$$ for QF ...

Re: WP for the first time ever

The fact these posts have been split off, and how they continually attempted to derail the original thread only prove the case more for trolling. Doing so is not part of community spirit or an aspect anyone really needs around here.

If QF where to give you LTG tomorrow even though you are only at 62.51% would feel the same sense of achievement?

No, but I'll tell you what, I'd feel a better sense of achievement if lifetime status was calculated purely on Qantas Group flying, and not partner airlines as it currently is. Sure, I'll get flamed for a comment like that, but I know you've flown other partners to get to where you are... a few of your old posts talked warmly about CX.

You might be able to easily earn it back now with your P1 flying, but to me, your LTG is tainted. You're not loyal. You can see my current LT accumulation below, and all but 15 of it is from the Qantas Group. Way purer than you, way more loyal than you, but I don't care to hark on about the program is doomed and I'm the only think keeping it afloat. Funny that.

Wow, we are talking about purity here?

How dare I board other planes, be they CX, SQ ,AA, or BA when they fly to airports that I need to get to that QF don't.

If you can tell me how I can fly to Yangoon, Beijing, Washington, Brussels, Munich, Surabaya, Montreal or any other destination on QF metal, then I await to hear your wisdom.

When a thread goes off-topic this is one action we can take to contain the off-topic banter to its own thread. The original thread remains and posts that are on topic remain in that thread. This "spit-off" thread is available to debating the pros and cons of Qantas Frequent Flyer Double Status Credit promotion.

To all members, please stick to the topics for this thread and the original thread. Note that posts not relating to the topic or against the AFF posting guidelines will be moved or removed.

There were people talking about taking away lounge access before I jumped in.

But.......

Thanks for the clarification, can you also please refer me to the link that that informs me what I can and can't say? There must be a section in there that you can cut and paste responses that appeal to the "senior" people in here and don't go against the grain.

Also to original question, should this topic not be in the name of the person who actually started it and titled it ( I.e a moderator)

Re: WP for the first time ever

This is what I said in your previous thread and i'll say it again:

I won't say much on the issue as I don't have access to the First lounge anyway.
But what I will say is loyalty and profit is about keeping all your tiers of status holders happy, P1/F flyers don't keep this company afloat, the large(r) proportion of QC, Silver, Gold and Platinum are what keeps a company afloat, if these customers aren't looked after and given benefits they will walk to the multitude of other carriers that will.

I think you would be better suited to hiring a private jet you will get all the attention you want and it'll free up a seat in the lounges...

You agreed to T&C's when you joined as a Member of this forum nearly four years ago - these included an overview of appropriate posting.

As already indicated your Off Topic posting was the genesis of this thread.

And this is how you took the thread off topic.It was started by a member who was happy on reaching WP.We know your views from other threads.Was entirely out of order in the thread started by Ashleyn.

Splendid examples of the devaluation of the SG & WP program.

Did they award the gold medal in London to Usain Bolt for running only the first 50 meters?

Of no relevance.More relevant would be when at the Olympics when they switched from a mile to 1500 metres.The winners are not awarded 15/16th of a gold medal.

No, he was in front at 50 meters, he only won when he finished.

You are correct QF has got bums on seats, both in the planes and in the lounges, it is a total marketing tool, but the fact is that it devalues the program.

If QF where to give you LTG tomorrow even though you are only at 62.51% would feel the same sense of achievement?

Im afraid to pint out that the emperor has no clothes.

Your comments imply to me that you consider yourself the Emperor.

And I am considered to be the one who complains here? Yes.

Taken in context your first comment certainly can be considered attacking the person.

Your apology is accepted

Putting all your comments together what strikes me is your negativity.
Study the posts of Tony Hancock.Many of his ideas are similiar to yours but I always read his posts even if the subject does not interest me as he usually can put a smile on his face.
I am virtually at the point where for the first time I will put someone on my Ignore list.

No there wasn't. They were talking about something else and using one little thing as an example.
