Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

The other problem with points club was that it was kind of confusing for people that aren't in it. You have this points tracker that resets to 0 tied to your actual QFF balance so some people get scared by that. Bunch of other questions about what counts and what doesn't.

Overall i think QF is trying to keep these progress bar things to a minimum now.

I assume the rollover SC only applies if you exceed the retain for your current tier. If you fail to retain then a soft landing and that’s it.

The rollover is a change from rewarding absolute loyalty to rewarding relative loyalty.

Today, I get a loyalty bonus for every 500SCs I earn. Every dollar of my spend with Qantas sees me be rewarded for my loyalty. If I’m a little less loyal this year I just get a little less bonus, but I still get something.

The new policy requires me to be more loyal than last year to be rewarded. A SC earn of 3599 for a WP will score them a 500SC pat on the back for being more loyal than their last membership year. For a P1 it scores them zero for being less loyal than before.
