Today I finally joined the WP club. It's been quite a year of flying but happy to reach it before QF1 on Saturday.

I wonder when my status will change on my bookings? On the app and the website it does show as being 'Platinum'; however, under the 'Baggage' section of the website and when I click through to view my bookings on the app it still shows Gold.

Secondly, I have a J-F upgrade request submitted for Saturday (I submitted it as a Gold.) To be considered as a WP in the upgrade queue do I need to resubmit the request?

Thanks!

Not sure, but maybe try calling to ensure you are placed at the front of the queue. As you are Platinum, it shouldn't take long ðŸ
 
If the web site says Plat, then that'll flow through to the bookings (but it may take overnight to flow through completely and show on the web site). If you check-in in Sydney, don't forget to do it at the First Class check in :) and make your way immediately to the First Class Lounge.

As regards the upgrade request, I suggest the die is cast already, but phone the premium desk and ask. Plats will (should) always trump Gold requests, but your Plat request will be pretty late. If you phone them, ask the best way, and then maybe let us know?
 
I stepped off a flight from Perth to Sydney once where I went from SG to WP and when I went to the lounge to wait for a connecting flight to Brisbane it was already showing platinum on the next booking so it should be straight away. Might be a day or so longer but should change - congratulations, that is a lot of flying in anyone's books.
 
Congratulations on achieving QF WP.

As others have stated, your OWE status will appear on boarding passes almost immediately.

Your new WP card should arrive in about 3 weeks after you first click over.

Trust you enjoy your new status, it's a great step-up from SG status, particularly on international sectors.
 
You'll be able to pick better seats for a number of your forward bookings. WP gets access earlier to better seats than SG.
 
Thanks everyone! Yes, I'm happy, it's been a great year to decide to jump on this frequent flyer train; went from NB - WP in one year. It wasn't too bad once I set my mind to it and was actually loyal to an airline/alliance plus all the tips here helped immeasurably. Plus the new DSC offer means I will retain it a month into my membership year with one return trip! :)

Called the service desk, said my Platinum status will apply to my upgrade request so here's hoping the loadings on this Saturday's QF1 are favourable ... Have a bit of work to do on the extra space would be fantastic.
 
Well done ... just to clarify (as its a question asked from time to time here) - was the upgrade request automatically changed from a SG request to a WP request when you changed status, or did they put the change in manually?
 
Congrats! You're a day ahead of me, I'm hoping my upgrade to WP comes through today :D

It wasn't exactly clear to me either, sorry. I was given the impression that it was automatic.
