Hi All
I'm currently gold, and pregnant. I was excited to read about the qantas parental leave pause, but unfortunately, I think I'm going to miss out on benefitting by the skin of my teeth. The reasons being:
Can anyone see any way around this? Obviously, I will be able to 'pause' closer to October, once my status has dropped, but a silver status pause is much less appealing.
Is it worth contacting Qantas to explain the situation and to see if they can show be some 'flexibility'?
I'm currently gold, and pregnant. I was excited to read about the qantas parental leave pause, but unfortunately, I think I'm going to miss out on benefitting by the skin of my teeth. The reasons being:
- I'm currently 5.5 months pregnant. I am due to give birth in October.
- I've not been travelling much in the past 18 months (due to giving birth to my first child), so I will not re-qualify for gold for the first time in 3 years
- My membership anniversary is in May (so I will reset to silver in 2 days time)
- The Parental Leave Pause that Qantas has brought in only allows you to 'pause' your membership level 3 months ahead of birth, so due to my anniversary date and 'birth' date being 4 months apart (instead of 3!), I'm going to miss out on pausing my gold status.
Can anyone see any way around this? Obviously, I will be able to 'pause' closer to October, once my status has dropped, but a silver status pause is much less appealing.
