Sadly don’t count toward LT status and I have a 30 September member year end, so would seem to be unfortunately zero value to me and likely many others in the same boat.

The loyalty gift is odd. For one, it seems the reverse (loyal customers who have already requalified don’t need them, but this will help those who haven’t got enough travel booked to requalify).

This feels more like covid era status keeper. I wonder if elite numbers are starting to drop off?

Yep, October here. Oh well

The no DSC towards lifetime hurts more.

I noticed this promotion will also be occurring:

My flight tomorrow requalifies my Plat status....as my membership year ends 31.10, the gift of 150SCs is useless for me. I guess I should be overjoyed by the gift of 2500 points as a PC member

There was a suggestion elsewhere that these are apology “gifts” for the data leak. As a September anniversary, having already qualified for next year, and one of the more affected by said leak, this is trash if so

The changes made this year (green tier, loyalty bonuses, now this) have really soured me on QF. Pondering whether to even continue with them. The remaining carrot was LTG which I’m currently around 5 years away with minimal earning but.

Ironically I don’t even use DSCs to get a significant boost towards my status. It’s just a pattern of trash that is turning me off

 

[TeaKozy]

For those with status locked in for the year, there is precisely zero value to be gained in booking during the promo period, right? Unless the increase in fares is somewhat offset by the meagre bonus points…

I wouldn’t be surprised if LT accumulation is a thing of the past for all DSC moving forward.

 

[levelnine]

Trust Qantas to award a gift for loyalty that, for many people, will have precisely 0 value lol.

 

[Aussie_flyer]

Works out well for me. I'm short on platinum renewal this year with October 31 anniversary. This should secure it for me without too much need for random status runs

Yep 0 value for me. I retained WP 6months ago.

 

[SYD]

Normally 150 SCs at the start of my member year would be a nice leg up, but forward bookings already have WP sorted by Feb 2026.

The 2500 PC points will marginally help retain PC…

Might actually select Double Points in the DSC promo. Those*, plus 2x QBR and 2x QF Hotels could be handy for retaining PC and QBR tier.

*except I’ve already max’d the 20k flying points towards PC/PC+…

Same ! 30 Sept year end. Not counting towards lifetime earn really hurts as well.

I am in exactly the same position. It actually hurts as it seems to benefit only people who have not flown a lot and need extra S.Cs to reach the next level

 

[Hamila]

Sigh, was one of the most affected in the data leak and have a 30 Sep membership year end. Reminds me of the last Covid support they provided where I also got screwed by the membership year end.

Would be nice if there was a targeted gift to those affected by the data leak, that contributed towards LTS/LTG.

 

[levelnine]

If Qantas had wanted to make the loyalty gift actually useful, they would have given it to people at the start of their next membership year or allowed people to swap it out for points. But they didn't, and that was a very deliberate decision.

Understand your point as someone who had all but two data points leaked. Just PR deflection from their almost record profit

 

[bPeteb]

Nothing will make up for my entire identity being in the leak but what's done is done.

With our current forward bookings I was 49 short for requal next year after deciding not to pursue green tier. The 150 gets me across with no more flights required. I'll be less that 200 to LTG after we get back from our cruise next June so those 200 will be what we'll chase with QF in 26-7. I see new airlines on the horizon.

I'm a no for this one.
