Some places were doing subscription models before it was cool. I read an article the other day about BMW releasing cars with physical hardware that you could pay for later via subscription (heated steering wheels). Thought that was interesting.I know this is only a proposal, but wow, there's a subscription model for everything these days...

How about a subscription model which gets additional reward flight options opened up for you?
yep, or status optionsHow about a subscription model which gets additional reward flight options opened up for you?
Ha! Now THAT is a great idea!How about a subscription model which gets additional reward flight options opened up for you?
Yes, Tesla has been doing this for a while, you can get a higher performance car by paying for the software features to be unlocked. Essentially the performance is deliberately hobbled unless you pay.Some places were doing subscription models before it was cool.

Exactly right, soon everyone will have millions of points, but won't be able to use them.just more cash for Qantas.How about a subscription model which gets additional reward flight options opened up for you?
Do people really want more points when you it's extremely difficult to use them?
No one can blame you for that. Qantas' pricing outside of Australia has always been mad but what they are peddling as "Special fares" into Europe and the US at the moment is just insane. I'm talking J class here- and the likes of JAL, QR and even FJ are even way better in quality.Faced with the status downgrade we will now be using cheaper one world partners for our annual European trip.
Could be solved with a one year extension! mysteryone
That's one take on it, but not a great one IMHO. The upgrade exists for one vehicle only (the LR or Long Range) and allows a boost to the acceleration on this particular model. The point is you could have always bought the Performance model but for this one model you can get the benefit of LR pricing with an acceleration boost to near Performance speed.Yes, Tesla has been doing this for a while, you can get a higher performance car by paying for the software features to be unlocked.

Qantas have this already. The subscription costs anywhere from $5,000 - $100,000 depending on how you pay for and utilize the package.How about a subscription model which gets additional reward flight options opened up for you?
