Qantas Status Credits Boost

[DC3]

Yes, another 50 SC posted to my QFF account this morning. That makes 850 SC that have been credited so far.

150 SCs to go for WP requal.

If you do a status run to QLD and get deported, do you get SCs for both directions?

 

[Matt_01]

I also received another 150 SC over night. Only 1500 SC's more required to retain P1 and with no travel to MEL and international off the cards I think my P1 run may come to an end in 2021.

I need 180 more to requal WP by end April plus one more flight to complete the four.

Perhaps a nice Police fine will take the gloss from any status run.

It’s not a crime to arrive without a border pass - only if you make a false declaration

Another 50 SCs last night. I'm now 130 away from requalifying for WPs. Even if I can only travel within NSW until the end of April next year, could make it with a few BNK status runs. Flexi fares aren't too unreasonable as opposed to most other routes.

 

[Pushka]

And now MrP only needs 80 points to requal WP to end of April from the trip to Cairns from Adelaide and the Status Keeper credits.

I just got more SC in my account... At least will keep WP next year.

I will get the 4 flights done next month...

I think you will be fine as QF seem to be helping everyone keep there current Status level..

Just noticed at the weekend that my 2019-20 SCs to August were swept, and replaced by the WP Status Boost of 600 SCs, along with the first (only?) StatusKeeper deposit of 50 SCs in September. Ordinarily, I'd be very comfortable about sitting at 54% of WP re-qual on Day 7 of the new membership year... but I have a feeling it will still be a struggle in 2020-21 to get there again.

Cheers,
Matt.

Thanks to all th boosting I’m 400sc off qualifying for WP.... however I don’t like my chances of being able to get those sc before June.

So StatusKeeper was only supposed to go till September
but like JobKeeper I highly suspect given little has changed that QFF will extend StatusKeeper payments for some time yet.

I give it an 80% chance. Of course we all know I have been very wrong before !

(and yes my new P1 year began with 1950 total Boost+SK which is a crazy thing to see in one's account)

I hope so! I have only 290 SC to get before end of March to retain WP - but the requirement for 4 flights is also starting to raise its head as an issue for me.

 

[Port Power]

It really is going to be difficult for a great many to do the four flights. I wonder if Qantas might just roll over another twelve months of status for everyone come March 1st next year, same as this year? It would make life so much easier for frequent flyers as well as the airline if we are still grounded internationally until the middle of next year. Really, is it even possible to retain WP on domestic flights alone? (Under normal flying conditions, not status runs, that is, unless you work FIFO.)

I have a similar problem on retaining Gold. If only Dan would let me leave the house, I would be happy to get on a plane!

Both of us, living in SA are incredibly fortunate that we will likely requal WP by end of April. Husband is only 80 status credits away already and I am 120 away due to Status Keeper and flights. We both need just one more flight to complete the four. That will happen by end of year.

In reality Qantas will likely extend it to all except possibly those whose date is around Nov - Dec next year.

 

[PineappleSkip]

Hope so. Not organising any status runs just yet!
cheers skip

I am quite jealous of everyone receiving bonus status credits. My year ends at the end of this month and, because I retained gold in March, I haven’t had one bonus status credit! I would have loved to have received some to move me towards lifetime gold.

I believe I will receive 300 next month so not really complaining but status keeper wouldn’t have helped!

The bonus comes after your new year.

 

[albatross710]

Is there clarification on the SC bonus at 500SCs.

I've started the new year with 315SC.

Do I get a bonus 50SC when I earn 500SC for the year ie 315 + 185 which get me a 50sc bonus?

This would mean I with really 'only' needing to earn 235SC to requal Gold?

Or am I needing to earn the 285 through travel?
