Excess Qantas Status Credits

[drakdaystar]

Hi all,

This is my first year where I’ve earned a reasonable amount of status credits with 2800 all up. My membership year ends at the end of this month (February). I won’t be hitting Platinum One, but have a large amount of excess above Platinum that is just “going to waste”. Is there any way that the additional amount above Platinum can be rolled over? Have people had success doing this in the past by calling the contact centre? Anything else that I can do?

Thanks in advance!

Have a look at today's announcements. They'll be introducing this feature soon, but not soon enough for your current membership year.
