QFF Status Credit for Missed Flight?

[catinjapan]

I'm short just 40 Qantas SCs and 1 eligible flight from Silver status.

Rather than faff about by doing a status run (Melb to Sydney return), I was wondering if I can just book a one-way domestic flight and miss it. Would I still receive my SCs and QFF points if I did this? I've tried looking for an answer here and on the Qantas site and can't find one. Any help much appreciated!

No, unfortunately you have to take the flight.

You will not receive points and SC for a flight that you no-show for.

No

Must fly. Otherwise you can ‘easily’ buy status if allowed. Sounds like you need to faff. (Autocorrect put something entirely different there for faff

Thanks everyone for your help. Looks like a day trip is in order!

Looks like a combination of work commitments and heading overseas before my status credit anniversary at end of the month mean I won't be able to do a status run.

Does anyone know if I showed up at the airport, checked in but didn't board, would I still get the status credits?

You can just check in online and save yourself a trip to the airport but I believe the computer will still say no...

I’d say you need to pass through the boarding gate.

You need to board and fly. If you offload by choice you won't receive points or SCs.

Silver isn't really that exciting anyway.

It's a golden ticket but every cloud has a silver lining...
