Replacement Platinum Q-Tag?

[nauta1]

I have also had a P1 tag removed between Perth and San Paulo, apparently they sell them on ebay, was replace as soon as arrived home.

I understand that Red Roo is various persons, and personality aside, I am concerned if QF has been given information off AFF that allows them to identify individual members of this forum. Particularly if this has been done without our express permission.

Of course members have contacted Red Roo in private, but im meaning outside those parameters...

I would be concerned if such information was disclosed, but I doubt that it has been.
I suspect that Red Roo can identify a lot of us from matching information which QF already has with the information we publicly disclose in our posts.

Aside from the credentials stored for "verified airline status" which is not released to anyone, AFF does not store any information that could be used so.

Or even disclosed via PM fot the odd competition.

I don't have any concerns if QF know my identity. I've entered comps requiring FF numbers here before and also met Red Roo several times at events.

I don't say anything here that I wouldn't be prepared to give to QF (or indeed any other airline) as open feedback.

Yes I'd include that under "information which QF already has".

One may be forgiven for thinking that is the reason why some people are keen to get their yearly 'ration'...

Wonder if I was mischievous and said that my QF tags have gone awol as well ( actually one did ayear or so ago, but I don't miss it) whether I would test Red Roos identity reading powers? Precident has been set!

I'd be more than happy to arrange new Q Bag Tags for you too, however will require your details via private message as we've not met - personally or electronically.

That will serve Rooflyer right for not applying to go to one of the lunches (ducks) .

I'm happy to confirm that any fears of "Big Brother Red Roo" are completely unfounded.
As I thought, I had disclosed sufficient information here and on other social media platforms to allow Red Roo to identify me.
So we can let go of any lingering paranoia and congratulate them on a great exercise in proactive customer service!

Personally I never suggested that RR was able to identify us without disclosure on our part. My comment was merely that once identified, this information is remembered

Many thanks, but as I mentioned, I actually don't miss the one that absconded. I only ever take 1 checked bag. When I had the tag on one, and the other tag was inside the case, (as I would be returning with a second checked bag (work stuff)) - cor blimey, didn't the auto bag check machine go crazy. Too clever by half.

I shall retain a discreet anonymity for now but thanks again for the offer.

(ps if flyers get a friendly CSM, especially on long haul when they have time for a chat, ask them to show you your entry on their iPads. Some people have found all sorts of info about themselves there. I was pleased to see that my profile was strictly flight related.)

You'll keep.

Oh.

Probably the wrong thread for this and I'm sure it's been covered elsewhere, but what info is actually stored on the Q-Tag itself? Are there any concerns with it going missing? (I never use them after check-in agents in Cairns and somewhere else told me they always put the stickers on anyway as bags often went missing if just the tags are used - though that was a couple of years ago).

No personal information at all.

 

[kermatu]

Hence the ability to sell on eBay I suppose. Thanks mate.

I suspect you have posted this before, as when we hit a similar problem on Monday evening (safari bag stuffed inside normal case), I remembered a post on here and was immediately able to solve the problem when the machine went crazy. Mind you even after removing the second tag and exiting the process a couple of times, the machine remained unconvinced that it was solved, until we used my card instead if Mr FM's to checkin the bag!

Of course it would be remembered.

This is the reason given by some people for not entering the competitions. Personally, I'm willing for Qantas to know who I am. They know for all my comments on here, that I'll still give them money.

It works by linking your tag to the boarding pass when you bag drop. If you lend your tag to a spouse or friend then the link is with them for that flight.

How so? The tag (bar code) has to be scanned ! Unless I'm very much mistaken it's not like an electronic / chip type scan.
