I have received such an email at 3:45 PM yesterday:
Wow! Lucky you. No need to even bother with QF flights the net 10 months.
This is what everyone got whose status renewal was January to June 2023.
Not me. March 2023 renewal, I got "because you flew with us and retained" no extension for you. Like in 2020.
That's incorrect.
Thanks for the information. Useful to know I'm not the only one in this situation - it seems like anyone who levelled up in the past year did not get an email. Hopefully the rollover still processes correctly for us, and we don't have to go chasing it up (although I suspect there's a chance we will have to...)
No. Because I retained in my current membership year (ending March 2023) I get that status for the remainder of this year and next, as normal. There is no extension being handed out by Qantas, as in this case I am ineligible for an extension as I continued flying.
Isn't it just so confusing? I am requalified already to Feb 2023 but DID receive an extension to Feb 2024. What's in a month, you ask?
I think I came out ahead of you by THAT much!Well that wasn't clear from your first post. Indeed, I'm not sure why you replied saying 'Not me' — you were in fact offered the same extension to 2024, it's simply that you didn't need to avail yourself of it because you have already retained status until 2024 due to flying.
I replied because of the statement that *everyone* with those membership dates got a free extension into 2024 when it is not true. Only eligible people get a free extension for another year. The free extensions are not available to everyone.
Yeah I am amused at the hotch potch way they have been applying the extensions and other freebies. Some are more ahead than others at different times. The most I've got out of the handouts are the status support the first year; didn't get an extension as just qualified before covid hit in March but only needed 25% to retain. The rollovers since have helped a bit but you still need to get the larger portion to retain. You never know if or when there will be any free extensions bestowed and often when they make the decision it comes late in your membership year so you're not given it or anything else, at least this time there is a consolation prize though the extra 15K doesn't even cover a return econony award to my nearest city.Isn't it just so confusing? I am requalified already to Feb 2023 but DID receive an extension to Feb 2024. What's in a month, you ask?
Because I haven't yet quite qualified for renewal myself to Feb 2024, I receive 15,000 FF points. You have qualified, so you should have received 30,000 points? Did you? But we both receive the rollover of 500SC.
Everyone did get a free extension into 2024. As you had already retained membership until 2024, there was nothing to extend to you. I'm not sure why you are arguing this point. To suggest otherwise is entirely misleading.
Which, unfortunately isn’t “everyone”
. Exactly the same cutoff occurred in August last year but at least we July’ers got picked up in the subsequent Status Keeper. I doubt we’ll be that lucky this time around.
