What will the Status Credits from the Status Credit Support count towards?
The Status Credit Support will contribute towards reaching and keeping all tiers as well as reaching Lifetime status. The Status Credit Support will not contribute towards any of the bonuses including the Loyalty Bonus, Platinum Bonus Reward and Platinum One Bonus Reward.
When will I receive the Status Credit Support?
The Status Credit Support for eligible members will be credited on a monthly basis from July 2020 to September 2020 based on your status end date. Members who have a March - June 2021 status end date will receive their Status Credit Support (backdated to April 2020 where applicable) by 22 July 2020. For members who have a status end date of July and August 2021, you will receive a confirmation email in August and/or September sent to your preferred email address on your Qantas Frequent Flyer account when they’re awarded as per the below table.

Reading the fine print in the same link 2 posts above:
There is SC support that gives P1s 150 SC per month that counts toward P1 requalification, but does not specify if it does or does not count toward the 900 QF SC requirement. Different and in addition to the boost mentioned in my last post.
Anyone want to guess if it would?
Might help for those that earn the bulk of their SCs using partner airlines, but given the current situation....
I'm honestly not sure what anyone could expect more of QFF (there will be some no doubt).
I agree the "support" SC's probably won't
but either way.. how generous is this?! I mean seriously this is so very generous and a smart move as it effectively halves (and then some) the requirement for the next membership year.

Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?

Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
It is more generous than I was expecting. However, if Australia continues to keep out non-Australians, it still could be very difficult to achieve for some of us. I don't particularly fancy having to do 45 JQ domestic (in NZ) max bundle flights in a few months to get the remaining 900 QF marketed SCs (plus of course whatever balance of the 1800 total SCs are needed).

Don't know what's better, half price requalification during a pandemic or double SC on QF metal in normal times
Feb folkss really lucked out with the current situation (not any sort of complaint btw)
Well my former P1 experience was before COVID (in 2018), but my hubby dropped back as soon as I lost my P1. My year end was Mar, and his was May. They actually made him do a full initial WP qualification with 1400 SC, not even a re-qual at 1200SC. We were both pretty cheesed off. I hope your situation is a bit better than that - could be that the blanket extensions might help you out.In relation to partner status I am more interested what will happen to to her status if I do not retain P1 through to Jul 22. As far as I am aware when I fall back to WP she will automatically drop back to her original NB status in line with my year end however I may be wrong. This year she was extended to Feb 21 as per normal as I was P1 then the QF extension kicked in and I vaguely remember email stating that she had been extended to Feb 22. I did look at the QF email sent the other day and she will get the 600 SC boost which will make no difference to her as her travel is normally on points.
The only reason I am interested to know if she will retain WP though to Feb 22 is that we will be planning to travel in late 21 (if allowed) and if she will still have OWE status. Are there any former P1's that can advise what actually happens to the gifted WP status i.e. when does it cancel if you do not qualify. Our first world problems.
