QFF Advisory Community???

[downgraded]

Anyone know anything about the QFF Advisory Community?

Does anyone have any experience with it? Is it worth the hassle? Does it take much time to participate?

You need to make a mininum of 4 posts per month for 1000 QF points / month...It takes +1 (aka as me) 5 minutes to do so. I'll let you decide the rest

Thanks for the prompt feedback.

Frequent Flyer Advisory Community...

"As a community member, you'll spend 10 to 20 minutes of your time each week, sharing your opinions with key decision makers through surveys and an online forum - which will help shape the future of the program".

They've previously had my opinions for free, now they are at least thinking of offering peanuts.

Hadn't seen it mentioned on AFF before. Will look into it.

I got an email about it a few days ago, but was ruled ineligible after answering 2 questions!

So I’m guessing it’s by invitation only ?

It doesn't appear to be, I signed up using the link, did the profiling questions, then received an email to activate the account.
My main page now says "stay tuned for upcoming activities"

I believe so. It said it was a group of 500 members and it is an invite to express interest for selection. I got to the end of survey without rejection and they said I might get an email in the next week.

I did get on the Qantas Customer Advisor Panel a few months back. Dont know if that is different. I dont think that gives me any points though.

Congratulations, you are now a panelist.

There's almost nothing in there presently. My Activities has only the profiling questionnaire, and Quick Poll has "Stay tuned for upcoming quick polls!".

What we've learned
So many exciting improvements have already been implemented because of what you had to say, with many more on the way, so please make sure to watch this space.

You told us: There wasn’t enough room in our Perth Lounge
We acted by: Expanding the Qantas Club Lounge

You told us: You wanted to maximise your sleep on overnight flights when flying in Business
We acted by: Revamping our service in Business. Here’s just a few thing we now offer our customers flying in Business:
• Café breakfast on flights out of Asia
• Pre-ordering of your main meal before your fly
• A new mattress and duvet to provide you with an even better nights sleep
• Greater flexibility and variety with our in-flight meals. You now have the option to enjoy a snack or small meal instead of three courses.

You told us: You wanted individual entertainment on all flights
We acted by: Introducing our interactive Q Streaming iPads to every customer on most of our B767 aircraft.

My som received the invitation I think a year ago. It was discussed in AFF.

First QAP survey:-

Do you have a long haul trip coming up or have you recently been to far away lands? In today's activity we would like to understand how you fly when it comes to long haul travel. The survey should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete.

Thank you and have a good week!

The survey answer options weren't well-configured but it was ok overall. They defined long haul as 8+ hours and 'ultra' long haul as 10+ hours with a stopover.

No points/incentive offered, so if you undertake the survey you are freely donating your time to Qantas

???
It's not a points per survey proposition.
The points are for being an active member and responding to the surveys sent...

???

I haven't seen anything on the website or in email that mentioned points at all. Is there something that explains that?

 

[GoldCanyon340]

I've been a member of this since 2009 when I did my first F flight from the then newish SYD F lounge. One of the staff approached me with a questionnaire and asked if I'd like to give my opinion of the lounge; the form was also an invitation to join the advisory panel. I don't recall ever being given any points for completing the online surveys though.

Here's waht I see after logging on to the advosry panel account:

Seems a bit dated; I think the Cafe breakfasts in Business are gone ... but not sure ...
