I'm feeling a bit sad ...[My SC's are getting wiped today... =( ]

Oh, I've felt so good looking at these, the last few months. But, alas, soon my all time high of 2125 SC will be wiped. :(

Won't get near that this year, might scrap enough to renew WP. Have 2 O/S sojourns planned this year which should get me to around the 1000 mark, just need another (or a double SC offer, ... are you listening QF?) to get me back there.Hoping work may come to the party with a junket or 2.
 
I am not as sad as I might have been. While my SCs were reset to 0 overnight, my status still shows Gold even though I fell short of the required earn, and the login message clearly says I have to earn 600SCs to hold it next year - so looks like they may have comped me. On the other hand, the list of forward bookings is total skew-wiff, so maybe I should wait and see.

Edit: Booking list has returned to normal but still showing Gold with 600 to earn, so looks like a big thank you to QF.
 
You will need a few more days or so before you could assume that. They allow a little time for credits from flights on partner airlines to come in before dropping you back from Gold to Silver if you fell short.

Edit: if you get comped they would send you a letter saying so accompanied with your new card. They typically send these out even before the year ends so sometimes you may get a letter but actually qualify after that with flights just before the year ends so it turns out not to be a comp after all.

Were you close to the 600 SCs and was your 3 year average good?

Makes sense, and yes I made my average which apart from 1 recent year is usually just below the level required. So I wont jump the gun until a new card turns up, or if not comped 2 cards (QFF and QP for 9-10mths). In reality I have only used the SG card once last year, as all other flights in J (generally Award or Pts upgrades on domestic, cash on Int).

I was hoping the same when my year reset on Jan 1, as it was showing the same as you - still gold and 600 to keep. Alas, about the 4th of 5th of the month it reverted to Silver and my downgraded card arrived in the mail last week :'(

Yep, look up thread to posts dates around the 4th - 6th of each month as this thread grows.

Just to confirm everyone's suspicion, the drop back the PS occurred today. Have to wait now for re-issue of the balance of QP membership card that should run until the end of the year.

Now that I am nearly retired, and rarely flying QF internationally, the prospects for getting back to higher status levels has pretty much faded. Oddly, it seems to matter little as I use U class most of the time to keep us in the J lounges.

I've been caught with the hope of a comp before as well, hit hard dropping to PS but had a QC membership bought 8 years earlier that kicked in.

Only 625 SCs from LTG which means I'll be happy even when flights drop to virtually nothing. Enjoying WP right now but that will be a one and done thing I expect.

Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?

Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.

Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

Tonight 1630 SC's will be wiped away, my lowest loss in 4-5 years - the flip side is that I am getting closer to LTG

Unless my work picks up I can't see myself making 1200 SC's this year, hopefully my three year average will get me over the line and tide me over until the following year.
