Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

I guess the point though is they're working under the assumption your behaviour would be the same with Lifetime Platinum; hit the milestone then just milk the bennies, much more exclusive benefits, and not really generate revenue.

But if LTP (or some other carrot) was a realistic option, they would generate revenue from me while I worked my way towards it. As it is, reaching LTP or banking a year of WP is so unrealistic that there is no incentive for me.

If keeping LTGs engaged was the goal (or one of the goals) of these enhancements, then it is a fail as far as I'm concerned.

True for me too. I'm LTG - foot off the pedal once I requalify for WP, I redirect efforts to another FF program.
