Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

I currently have 1,900 SC's and my new year starts on 1 July. Did they give an indication of what "later in 2026" meant for the rollover? I'm hoping I'd be able to bank the 250 excess credits (but not counting on it).

Similar position as you but mine starts 1 September.

Hoping that's "late 2026" enough for me to start my new membership year with a rollover, but possibly will just miss out on that.

I guess they would link the rollover start to the same time that they increase the SC required to retain. Otherwise a double blow for people who don't get the rollover to help soften that blow.

I agree as well. I think the reduced earn is a perfectly reasonable way to reward 'loyal' frequent flyers and removing this is straight up a slap in the face. Qantas has definitely removed our incentive to continually retain platinum, particularly as we're close to lifetime gold. This is yet another 'enhancement' from QF that's driving us to BFOD with other carriers. We burn around 2 million points a year on award flights - if the ability to earn Status Credits on Classic Reward flights is not reinstated after PC+ is closed, it'll be hasta la vista Qantas for us.

I believe they want to reward the frequent flyer who casually earns 1800-2000 and can then rollover 300 than the person who aims for 1200 every year and stops
