Qantas Club access grace period

[tba]

Does anyone know if there is a grace period for Qantas Club access?

My membership expires at the end of Oct 2010, but have a QF flight out of HKG on the 1/11/2010. Would be very handy to still have access for that flight.

Due to change of job I won't be renewing any time soon.

Sometimes they give you a little extra access, but I think that’s only if you’re downgrading from status.

You could check the November thread to see if anyone else is flying out of HKG on that day.

You could also look into becoming an AFF Gold member and saving substantially on the cost of the QP. Thought you should do this before it expires or you’ll have to pay a joining fee again.

My experience is that there is no grace period. Maybe that was just in MEL....

Basically the response was, " too bad..."

Good luck. Try and see what happens. If you don't ask, you don't get.

check in the night before and print your boarding pass which will have Qantas Club Bronze or whatever on the bottom... might work..

My Qantas Club membership expired earlier this year when I was Silver. I didn't bother renewing it because the next few flights were in J (which includes lounge access) and would push me over the threshold to Gold ~2 weeks after the membership expired.

All the BPs still had "QC SILV ONEWORLD RUBY" on them up until I hit Gold, so there still seems to be a grace period. What that grace period is I don't know.

Thanks all. I have silver status, so will just have to see how I go.

Hmm that’s an interesting idea. I wonder if that would actually work or not. Regardless of if the system realised the date and didn’t add the "Qantas Club", don’t they scan the barcode and that might beep a different way.

Someone should test this.

A grace period is generally provided when you drop from Gold status back to Silver (assuming no paid Qantas Club membership on hold). I believe this is 3 months and is to allow you to consider the offer that will have been received to take up a paid Qantas Club membership. But I have not heard of any such grace period at the expiration of a paid membership.

Just an update for anyone that cares.

On check in (1st Nov) my status was still QC Silver, so no issue accessing the QP.

I wouldn’t count on that lasting forever if you’re not a QC member, might be time to pay up eventually or fly J more/reach for SG
