Well folks, it looks like I won't be retaining Qantas Platinum this year having racked up a meagre 186 status credits (of which 50 came from Green Tier and 50 came from loyalty bonus), but did manage to somehow get the four squiggles on my Qantas card. For those curious between finishing off the last of my studies in my PhD thesis and writing up my PhD, there frankly hasn't been much time to do much wandering (aside from that month I spent abroad).
It's my understanding that I will be demoted to Gold tier, which quite frankly I do not mind, as aside from the LATAM Black benefit (via status match), I haven't made too much use of the Qantas Platinum status. Yes the First class lounge is nice and the occasional time where Qantas can open award seats for you is also good, but in reality Gold seems just right with its lounge access, complimentary seat selection across the board, priority check-in and extra baggage.
Am I correct in assuming that I will have Gold status for the next program year? Additionally, with this status that I'm being downgraded to, what are the requirements for retaining the status? Would it be the 600 to retain status or am I back to the drawing board and must earn the 700 status credits to earn Gold for the following calendar year?
