Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

I feel like the program changes will be neutral or slightly positive for me. I typically earn 800-900SC's a year and rarely get the loyalty bonus as I fly a bit of OW as well. IMO the Green Tier is already gone after it changed last year for the worse. So, I'm thinking I'll get ~100SC's on the ground and ~100SC's from rollover to retain.... so need 500Sc's a year to retain, which with DSC's is easy to do.

My main concern is I'm a few years away from LTG and want to hit that before that is enhanced too much.

And me too from now (37k lifetime). It's nice to have 2 years banked, but then it's a long time until the next milestone at 45k - maybe not enough to keep me rusted on to QF.

At 41K SCs lifetime, I feel the same. Another 4K is too much of a stretch to go out of my way to chase at my age. Covid stalled my DONEx's and I'm unlikely to do any more.

Reckon it would be a fascinating research assignment to compare how many of these long time QF LTG folk would be close to BAEC LTG had they invested in that program instead.
