New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

And the 40 gift SCs are showing on my lifetime tally.

Interesting, unfortunately its certainly not the case for me. My Lifetime excludes the 150 gifted and only includes the 20 earned by flying before this gift was announced.

I wonder if they applied a change overnight so it hasn't fixed things for the WP and above who got their gifts on 2&3rd Sept; but is working for those who received from today?
 
My 40 SC gift has landed along with my 5,000 points for Point Club+... very happy as my membership year ends August so at least I now have 140 SCs to start the new year with!

My tally also shows similar, in that 200SCs have been 'Earned this year' (the sum of a Loyalty Bonus of 50 SCs which was carried over, and the 150 SCs loyalty Thank You gift at the WP level... plus I have a PC+ 100 SC rollover), however the Lifetime Status Credits total does NOT reflect the 150 SCs that were gifted; only the 50 SCs from the loyalty bonus. I track lifetime SCs separately offline, so can confirm this is the case. I expect that yours will be the same; the 40 SCs shown in Earned this year didn't count to LT status. You would have been at 8,514 total even before they were added.

You'll probably find that the already earned tally has been reduced by 40.
 
Did we book the same session times?

Unsure if i need a showing on Sunday or Monday - confirmation coming tomorrow so booked for February instead just in case. :D

Just got the confirmation of a Monday screening! Unfortunately its still within 24hrs of the February booking so can cancel for free - no other option. Will have to wait till the 24hrs is up to make the change online.

That’s what mine did (screen shots “before” and “after”).

I know this has been mentioned before relating to some other freebie SCs but I need to make a note to myself to see what happens on 31 July next year…

Oh no that sucks. I honestly can't remember how much I had before... The "gift" dropped on 3/9 into account and is dated 1/9 along with the 5000 points club plus extras...

Although the 100 PC+ status rollover doesn't show this way? But I guess due to it being a rollover and not new SCs? Gosh, they make loyalty way more complicated than it should be.

I'm so far off LTG anyway and with my corporate travelling days gone, I'm not going make it I don't reckon. Now I'm paying, it will be things like Saudia business class, Philippines or China Airlines premium for me in the future!

Correct on the PC+ rollover - it's not considered 'Earned this year', and doesn't ever show in that LT view (except in the previous year when they were actually earned!). The rollover goes towards your current year status chase, but nothing else.
 
Oooooooohhhhh. So that’s what it was about.

I still get enquires following my offer last DSC to explain to people what ‘fight club’ meant. Am I going to have to also explain what ‘going to the cinema’ means? 😫
🤣 You know me @RooFlyer - I've benefitted immensely from the knowledge and have no qualms in sharing the same with others and have done so already for this current promo. But I do also get a good chuckle from the banter and double-meanings. 😊

I’ll admit it I’m in the dark on this, but hardly surprising as even after 6 years on AFF I still have to refer to Matt’s glossary to understand all of these acronyms lol……

There are certain topics that aren't overtly discussed (for various reasons), but don't forget that face-to-face events usually result in very informative conversations and that in the meantime, Private Messaging is always available and there are plenty of folk willing and able to explain things 😉

This is exactly what happened.

My already earned tally is 170SCs lower than what my year end position was when I took screen shot on 31st July.

And my Lifetime is the actual year end tally plus 20SCs earned flying in August.

I actually don't agree with them reducing the previous earn to date total. If anything the earned this year should have a qualifier in brackets (150 CS not eligible for Lifetime) and leave the true previous earn.

I did enquire with a travel agent friend of mine but they couldn't get the same fares that were on the QF website.
I think the pricing QF offers to TAs are slightly expensive than what's available on QF website (say 5-8%) approx.

I too decided to get a few viewing late last night. I'm actually have extra viewing sessions that may expire soon for the fight club movie so I need to go see more movies.
