Hi All, a long time since I last posted. Just now I was checking my QFF status credits because a loyalty bonus is due, having hit 500 credits today. I noticed in the "fine print" that ..."from 1 July 2013, only Status credits earned from flights with a QF flight number (including partner airline flights with a QF flight number) will contribute to the Status credits calculation for the Loyalty Bonus."
Made me pause for thought. This is yet another quiet, simple, subtle way for QF to further reduce the opportunities to earn points (while slipping through other sneaky ways to demand more points for redemptions). It is a long time ago in the mid 1990's that they did the biggest 'chop', when points earned were changed from 1 per km to 1 per mile. An instant 3/8ths cut in earnings!!! Since then, there have been many smaller instances with a large negative coughulative effect.
I did a quick search to see if anyone has documented the long saga of ever worse 'earn and burn' in the QFF but didnt find any such entry. Does anyone know of one? Or have the macabre list of injuries inflicted on QFF members over the last 20 years?
Cheers!
