Qantas Platinum One experiences?

. Can't have something between WP and CL - dark grey and black are too similar.

I actually prefer a black or dark colour. It shows P1 as one the premium tiers alongside CL / WP

I think they didn't have much of a choice. Can't have something between WP and CL - dark grey and black are too similar.
Purple (a "royal" colour) has some VA connotations.
Emerald/dark green is the colour of EK Y
Orange is the express connection/AA priority baggage colour - now there's an idea!

No way. (1) Far too EasyJet. (2) I was brought up a Catholic in Scotland: buggered if I have an orange card for anything!

They changed it a while back because the white color was almost indistinguishable from QFF Sliver.
Loads of staff complained and quite a few P1s due to being questioned showing their BP on the phone in a priority queue.

I don’t think you will find too many of us unhappy with the change.
YMMV

I agree the change is better for staff. I was asked in Auckland “are you even a Qantas frequent flyer member.” Lovely young woman doing her best. I just chuckled and said “for a few years now”.

After barely scraping my way into WP last year I set out to earn the more manageable 1,200 SC to maintain it and I think it’s fair to say I overshot it slightly.

I have absolutely no chance of retaining it next year but until then I look forward to the ego boost.

Congratulations, make sure you update your AFF profile and post in this thread often for bragging rights You might just scrape in for the Christmas gift, rumour has it it's the signed autobiography of Alan Joyce

I'm in the same boat as you and they will send an email a few months out saying you're abit far away from re-qual P1 the next year

They will also give you a call to say congratulations verbally, but if you missed the call, they will also send you an email.

I have two words in my surname and without asking, they made sure both initials were printed(embossed?) on the laptop folder they sent as part of the P1 kit

Did you ask if they offer a requal with points option like the Gold 80k / Plat 120k I will be asking closer to July 2026!

man it probs be like 300k for retention -> perhaps I should do this after I return from my trip!

Either way, P1 benefits thoroughly used and got my values worth in points before the Aug deval to get this winter trip sorted.

Whether the mixture of adding personal trips to supplement my general business travel to get to P1 was worth it or not is a different story.

In what might be a record on this thread for least time between attaining P1 and receiving an event invitation this just popped into my inbox.

It reverted back to Champers in 2024 so hopefully stays that way.

Haven't seen any mystery AusPost notifications yet. Mind you, every year I think they're leaving their run a bit late, it still manages to turn up before Christmas.

 

[Frustratedflyer62]

Very happy with champers. Always a crowd pleaser. As a side, has anyone noticed a significant reduction in lack of P1 acknowledgment by crew of late? Im 3/3 incl International and domestic. Absolutely no interest........... and yes, I expect nothing on a short flight other than a 'welcome back' but 6 to 13 hours I reckon a little interaction would be well received.

At first you had me wondering what did I miss out on as WP then the penny just dropped @markis10
