Well the last month has been a wild ride.
Membership year ends 31 May. I've been Gold since 2019, and managed to hang on to it until now thanks to status support and DSC offers.
My last membership year I JUST managed the 250SCs to avoid plummeting all the way back to Bronze (how embarrassing!), and that was with making use of DSC offers.
So dropped back to Silver (with Qantas Club) on 1 June.
But have just done a trip to Guam, SYD-BNE-NRT-GUM and back, in J, and with the DSC offer I now have 800SCs - so I'm back to Gold.
To cap it off, have just ticked over 7000 lifetime SCs, so I am now Lifetime Silver.
I don't think that is too bad, given I didn't really start doing any sort of regular flying until 2011, and only ever paid for J twice, just making use of DSC offers whenever I can. And of course there was a couple of years where no-one flew anywhere.
I've booked all of my upcoming travel for 2025 during the last DSC offer (except for a sale to NLK in J), and if I've done my sums properly, I'll hit Platinum for the first time ever.
So now what? Well Qantas knows very well how this works. I keep giving them money. They give me toasted ham and cheese sandwiches in the lounge. Eventually I'll get Lifetime Gold so I can never have to worry about access to those toasties again. Sounds fair to me.
