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

What does "fight club" and "going to the cinema" mean? Sorry for my ignorance!

Curiosity got the better of me… I tried Googling too, but the results were either a snooze fest or totally half-baked.

I take it you haven't gone to the cinema to see fight club, then?

Great film

Add "slang" to your search

Even google is in on it!

Still no SC for two WP.

Ditto for a P1 and a Plat.

PM someone who is mentioning it.

You'll probably find that the already earned tally has been reduced by 40

Mine has been reduced by 150, and the earned this year 150 more than I have otherwise earned.

I almost wonder if there's enough gaslighting going on to warrant a formal complaint to Qantas - "sneakily" reducing your already earned total to make it look like the thank you credits did count towards the bonus.

There is also a promise on the lifetime page that "your status credits reset each year but never totally disappear" - no asterisk, if buts or maybes.

In comparison, points club plus rollover SCs never hit the yearly total at all - and should be how they apply here, if they're not intended to apply to lifetime.

I strangely received the 300 bonus SCs last night, but my total didn't reflect a change. This morning after a flight and the credits for that flight being added did the total increase.

Like others, on the Lifetime Status page it reflects the bonus as a deduction in "already earned" and an addition to "earned this year", which I reckon is a bit of a scummy way to go about it.

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.

Same boat - the counter indicates that the 150 I was gifted counts towards LT (i.e. the total showing is 100 less than my current count, which is the 100 rollover for PC+). However, the "Already Earned" is now 150 less than it was before (I also keep a record of these offline).

I've taken inspiration from you and the others in this thread to begin keeping a record offline too. I just don't trust the way those numbers add up sometimes.

Well reported website bug that the balance wasn’t updating. QF systems have the correct amount, and as you found out, the problem will rectify itself eventually.

To be fair QF said all along they won’t count for lifetime status.

There may be some quirks in the way the website presents the data but you’re no worse off.

Its downright misleading to reduce my start of year position, I earnt those 150SCs last FF year.

Very lazy programming and completely unnecessary given they already have other ways to flag non-contributing SCs without diminishing prior year earn.

It's for 18 months of activity though. Anyway. No sign of mine.

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!

Do they still allow smoking on Saudia?
