My QF insurance status on ground SC's got posted to my account 2 days after my travel.

Patiently waiting for hotel 10 SC's which I stayed at on the 4th of November :/
 
Quick question re Qantas travel insurance. How quickly do the points generally land after the departure date? Online it says can take up to 6 weeks after departure date but wondering what real life experience is?

I've just had a few unexpected bookings for travel to see family on the mainland plus I have a premium economy to London soon. Also heading to Alice on points and will get status from PC+. And I am sure I will get the fuel and hotels SCOG... Sadly I missed all the DSC action this year.

So that all means I will be on 606 SC by May 2026 and my year ends August 2026...

I'm now close enough to think it MAY be worth buying a random travel insurance policy now to get the extra 20 SCs. I've looked into dates and added in a high cost item - so I can get the premium to $100 and earn 1600 points in the current sale (and please note I would purely be taking this out to get SCs - no dodgy claims or anything like that!).

Advice appreciated. I am a bit excited about the possibility of being gold again. CX lounges await!
2 days for me.. Travel completed on 23th Nov. 20SC's arrived on 26th Nov. I believe the weekend transaction always gets delayed. if you do something on the weekday then i always get it in 2 days.
 
It feels like you should get some extra reward when you complete them all. Maybe a 10% discount on the upcoming AJ's memoire*

*Discount does not apply to taxes and shipping cost.
I did have a chuckle when I was checking in at QF SYD Domestic on Monday - there was a huge poster advertising Joe Aston's book right by the checkin counters!
