So Qantas announces the Points Club with two tiers and entry level starting at 150k points. Want to speculate what this means?

  • Status credits for certain points earn/transfer
  • Free lounge passes upon reaching the first tier
  • J lounge for the second tier?
  • Will not include equivalent oneworld tier
I wonder how this will work in conjunction with your QFF status.
 
I wonder if it could be structured in a similar fashion to JAL Mileage Bank and JAL Global Club.

A JMB Crystal member (OWR, equiv QFF Silver) gets a bump up to OWS if they join JGC with an eligible credit card. Maybe Qantas would do the same thing if you earn a certain number of points on the ground?

From Qantas website ... 75000 status credits for lifetime platinum
I think you are looking for this thread:

 
The bonus status credits that may potentially apply will be interesting. A nice top up if you have no additional travel plans and need a small SC bump to re qualify.

The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

I find this whole concept astonishing and frankly contemptuous of actual "frequent flyers". People in this category are of significant negative value to QF, and I fail to see why they deserve any extra consideration at all.

The program makes more money for QF than the whole of its international division, I would suggest it is highly valued to QF.

In the short term there is no doubt a gain for the airline; but this is achieved by greatly diluting the value of QFF for people who actually fly a lot. People who get lots of points from non-flying are already getting the chance to get very cheap flights: I fail to see how they merit anything more.
 
I assume it will be an extension on Qantas Money, allowing QFF access to your non-QF card transaction history. The big QFF data lake continues to grow...
 
"an exciting new way for Qantas Frequent Flyers to earn Qantas Points on everyday spend "

Reads like a new partner, or maybe an extension of an existing relationship (as sbor90 says, Qantas Money maybe)

The wording seems a bit different to what I would expect for Points Club

But, hey, we can all speculate until Tuesday :)
