VA Platinum is not even close to P1 in "value" or effort/spend to get to. You just can't equate the two.
PPS.. yeah, that is closer.. though prob somewhere between PPS and Solitaire imo
One really should try and compare oranges with oranges, not oranges with pears.
With reference, last year (my first and only year of P1) I received the headphones rather than the champagne. I am not a government worker, instead a uni student who is over 18 (so can legally drink). I originally thought that maybe they saw my Dad and I were at the same postal address and thought to only send one bottle, but reading this they don't really put much effort in!
To be fair to QF though, I have had a lot more use out of the headphones than a bottle of champers, so it was a very appreciated gift
As consistently as you wank on about this, pretty sure you’re just thieving Tony Hancock’s intellectual property.
Interesting! What sort of headphones did they send you? I had not heard of this as a gift before.

I believe I had a DRW address on my profile last year, whereas this year it is MEL... Postage costs factored in perhaps?
Non-Government also.
Completely agree, not an apple to apples comparison in any way. Merely curiosity of what is offered between the three. Anyone a Solitaire Singapore Flyer? What did you get from them for Christmas?
Yes...the annual gift is usually just a higher value attached to your KrisShop vouchers. I forget exactly what this year's dollar value was but I think it was somewhere between $300 and $400. For those who are Aus based there are usually a couple of events throughout the year which are also very nice, especially the Chinese New Year events
You’ll drop to WP, that’s what happened to me and seems like what they do nowHi all,
my QFF anniversary is 31 December. I cracked the sh_ts with QF at the start of the year - so have only done about 300 or so needed SC with them. For the past 4 or 5 years was doing somewhere between 4000 and 6000 SC with them. The clock has just ticked over to the new year of 2020 - so far no change in my status, but I know that will take a week or so to settle.
I figure I will post my decline here to add data points. I assume I will drop to WP, or perhaps even bronze. Noone really knows what they do these days .....
Has anyone had CL access this holiday period if the business lounge is closed or combined? I’ve been told this practice has been terminated to ensure network consistency. Be interested to hear if that’s actually happening.
Especially when it is quiet and you aren’t disturbing the amenity of actual CLs. All I wanted was a quiet place for 30 minutes. The QP was fine but this is a bit of a shame. Then again, we all whinge about inconsistency so if this is now a consistent rule for what was always an unpublished and random benefit - so be it.I was wondering about this. Shame not to get the CL love. Irrationally, getting occasional access would spur me to requal P1.
