Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

Then the problem is platinum, one of these numbers is wrong. 60 years of Platinum for LTP can't possibly be right. 75k feels right for LT P1. Not LTP based on the current numbers.

I’d be in agreement with that.
QF is reliant on the promos but don’t want them to end in permanent platinum status.

10 years of SG for LTS
10 years of WP for LTG
~21 years of P1 for LTP

Agree. Shame I used points to buy my Green Tier offset… I will pay in cash for all upcoming flights, pending the announcement, to be as ready as I’ll ever be… if I can figure out how

I can't figure how to pay a cash offset after booking... offsetting with points is right there. Anyone able to guide me please?

You can only do cash at the time of booking.

My anniversary is March 31, have been sitting on 1316 SC's since my last trip in early August and haven't received any acknowledgement of retention. when i click on my digital card is still says 'expiry March 2027'.

They won't congratulate you on retaining WP until they give up on encouraging you to chase P1.

Just as you can only donate to charity as a Green Status component by paying with points not cash.
It's a strategy designed by their accountants to force you to redeem some points occasionally.
They know we are holding onto them in the hope of finding elusive classic rewards.
Accountants hate long term contingent liabilities.

You are very cynical, if you don't mind me saying



There's always another way of looking at things

One way would be to say if people never spend points, they expire - an accountant's dream!
