Thank you for your loyalty

NB daughter who hasn't flown for 10 years but did earn 1k Qantas points via a Woolies promotion some time ago called asking what she can do with the 40 SC Qantas promised her in an email they received today.

Earn 260 more so she can get one of them fancy silver cards...

Whoever is advising Qantas Loyalty during their challenging times doesn't seem to understand much about not upsetting their loyal customers.
I already have pre-booked flights to attain required status for the coming 18 months.
The SC 'gift' is worthless as it is surplus to my current year requirements and expires .
From posts here, sounds like many are in the same boat. I dare say the geniuses at Qantas knew this too.
During DSC promotions I usually throw in a few extra dom trips to add to the LT tally.
Those extras are now worthless, so Qantas will lose out.
We're small fry but are probably the most loyal of their customers and have been for many years.
Discouraging 'enhancement', poor gratitude.

just woke up to see this. Read the first few pages here. It seems like a typical Qantas shermozzle. T&Cs cut and pasted randomly, an SC gift that’s worthless to many (and given it doesn’t count to LTG I’d say it’s deliberately framed that way). A cynical 'look over there' stunt by Qantas to divert attention from their very high profits.

oh, I’ve also see that Virgin has just given me $25.

I suspect it’s not going to affect to many “racing” towards achieving LTP! But I get the angst of others seeking LTG - although, I reckon a relatively small proportion of my first 14K SCs were from DSC.

It’s possibly to encourage you to fly a little more and go for Gold. Hey, throw in a DSC offer while they’re at it.

More than a coincidence the two promos coincide.

With the gift still 505sc for Gold.
As a purely self funded traveller even with a dsc can’t justify at least 255sc in flying when that is more than my travelling for the year to date.

I know Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum have all been invited.

I haven't received an email yet, are others in this boat too?

I got the same but I’m a points club member as well.

 

[Flyerwin]

Being discussed here: New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

 

[Flying Fox]

Received similar - 40 Status Credits and 2,500 Qantas Points

Clearly I'm not as loyal or valuable

Well I'm not P1 or even WP so fair enough.

 

[dajop]

80 Status Credits, no points.

LTG with virtually no points or SC earn on QF metal for about 10 years (have had more recent earn on JQ though).

TL;DR for anyone who hasn't read the website yet, here's what everyone is getting.

Status Credits

• Platinum One: 300 Status Credits
• Platinum: 150 Status Credits
• Gold: 80 Status Credits
• Silver: 40 Status Credits
• Bronze: 40 Status Credits if there's activity in the last 18 months

Points Club

• Points Club Plus: 5,000 Qantas Points
• Points Club: 2,500 Qantas Points

For example, someone who's Gold with Points Club Plus will get 80 Status Credits + 5,000 points.

My 2c as another data point.

I've not received any emails regarding the DSC or the loyalty gift. Only became aware of the DSC in conversation yesterday evening. I opened my app at that moment and there was no reference to it there either but saw the loyalty gift so that's something. Considering that I have given QF over $10k during DSC periods in the last 12 months you'd think they'd be right onto sending me that email.

The timing of the gift is great for me seeing that 1st Sept is my anniversary date. Combine that with a banked loyalty bonus that I'll be able to claim after the 1st before they change the rules, means that I'll start off the membership year with 200SC.

In saying that, it will all be moot anyway as I wasn't going to come close to maintaining WP this year anyway. As a result the DSC is largely meaningless to me seeing that I have already made most of my QF bookings for the next 12 months. Only big outstanding one(s) is a europe trip which we were likely going EK on anyway as didn't want the faff of connecting and a US/CAN trip but were looking to burn VA points on that.

Yes.

it’s been widely discussed since it was announced yesterday including in the Points Club thread here and the DSC thread here.

 

[mviy]

With existing bookings only the points benefit me and after the recent increase to points required for upgrades and classic rewards, 2,500 is not much at all. But anything is better than nothing.

 

[Flying Fox]

I know its something for nothing but is it a bit rough that Bronze and Silver get the same reward?

 

[justinbrett]

Yes.

I thought the point was OP got an email with both SC and points. They did not mention that they were a PC member.

Has anyone got this and is not a PC member?
