Qantas Platinum One experiences?

I was told that the P1 area was reserved for when flying QF metal.

Well, she actually said “it’s supposed to be for those on QF”.
So, I expect there’s some ‘fluidity’ in the rule
We're you hoping for some 'fluidity' for yourself? 🍾🥂
 
I was on EK and she wouldn’t let me in the ‘zone’…

That was from the front desk though.
As can be seen (from others’ anecdotes) the better play is probably to get over to the roped area and see how you go.
 
Looks like the loyalty bonus 50SC now count for P1 since they removed the 8k points option

21.7.3 When Members claim their Loyalty Bonus Status Credits, those Status Credits will count towards attaining or retaining Silver, Gold, Platinum and Platinum One, and attaining Lifetime Silver, Gold and Platinum. Loyalty Bonus Status Credits will not count towards the next Loyalty Bonus, the Platinum Bonus Reward or other Platinum One additional benefits
 
Received my first event invite:

As a valued Qantas Platinum One member, we are delighted to invite you and a guest to enjoy A‑Reserve tickets to the Women’s T20I Series, along with an exclusive, money‑can’t‑buy Boundary Walk experience at the Sydney Cricket Ground prior to the match.

Catch the electric energy of Women's T20I cricket as Australia faces India under the lights at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the opening match of the series.

Date: Sunday 15 February 2026

Grateful to be invited to something, though the "Boundary Walk" experience isn't my cup of tea (I saw people doing them during the Ashes - bit of a strange flex/idea!). Doesn't quite compare to the other experiences shared on this thread! 😅
 
After just on 100,000km and 79 'eligible' flights for the membership year I got the blue card.

Interesting to note during my welcome call I didn't get told about the app settings - all were defaulted to no. So thanks to everyone who pointed out that they needed to be opted in for any events.

Excited/curious to see what the next 15 months as P1 looks like.
 
Got an invite to the Ateez concert. Sadly I must be one of the few who has no idea who they are

The problem is if you don’t have a QF boarding pass it won’t show your P1 status, and if you’re not escorted you’ll be asked for your BP.

I’m flying AA out of LAX and I had to show my boarding pass, fortunately I’m connecting to QF in HNL and I have that pass so just showed that (QF app, it has my P1 status). Not that it gets you much in LAX.
