Increase in SC Needed to Earn/Retain Silver?

[awaywithfairies]

I'm a Silver tier Qantas FF with a membership anniversary date of 31 July.

I'm pretty sure that when I first qualified for Silver level in July 2016, it required 250 SC. And when I retained Silver in July 2017 (eg just over 2 months ago), it was 200 SC.

However, I've just looked at the Qantas Status Credits page and it seems to indicate that the required levels have increased eg 300 SC to achieve Silver and 250 SC to retain.

I can't comment on Gold, Platinum and above levels as they've not paid attention to them (they've not been within my reach!).

Am I just imagining the increase in SCs or has it actually changed?

IIRC it was always 300 sc to qualify and 250 to retain.

I think you are away with the fairies.

No change as far as I’m aware.

Yep. 300 / 250 have been the levels for a long time.

OP may be confusing QF with VA.

Their requirement is 250/200

IIRC, it was 350/300, but changed about ~6/7 years ago
