Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

That’s the key. Qualify before the official termination date and then run down the perks.

I’ve already requal’d PC thru to July 2027 and might hit PC+ before the end of July this year.

Technically, I could requal again for PC again in Aug to Nov and extend to Jul 2028 but that’s probably not possible for me…

This is my thinking too SYD. I am about 30k from PC+ year ending in May. If I could some how knock out another 150k by say Oct, then that would give PC until May 28 by the the letter of their vague waffle “late 26”

It will be a challenge but something to think about.

Potentially a dumb q, although I promise I have read through the entire thread to try and make sense of the situation. I am attempting to figure out whether its worth me chasing WP next membership year given that:

• My membership year ends June / resets July 1st
• Going to hit points club+ for the first time for the 100 rollover
• WP renewal will be 1200, minus the PC+ rollover so 1100

However with changes from "late 2026" - does this mean that I'll likely need to hit the new 1400 threshold in my next membership year? Or as I am reading that "each member's start date will depend on anniversary date of Membership Year" - should I interpret this as starting the year afterwards?

Its super murky (and I am usually extremely analytical and don't struggle working out things like this) so if there's nothing that I'm missing to come to a conclusion one way or the other, I'm happy to hear out any speculation too

Upon further reading:

"In 2027, we are introducing one Status Credit target to retain and attain each tier."

So no closer, just that it will happen at some arbitrary point during 2027. Maybe I need to rush and front load my earn to the start of the membership year?
