Thank you for your loyalty

For the first time in a long time, I’ll actually benefit from a QFF Loyalty Gift, with this current one.

I’m not flying for work at all right now (I’ve been between jobs for a long while, in fact), but when my new membership year commences from Monday, I can plan on:
  • 50 SCs - Loyalty Bonus
  • 100 SCs - Points Club+ rollover
  • 50 SCs - Green Tier
  • 150 SCs - Loyalty Thank You bonus
Meaning I’ll only need to find another 850 SCs before Sep 2026 to retain WP for the 12th year in a row.

I haven’t got those SCs mapped out just yet, but I do have a few trips and things in mind that should allow for it to happen.

Cheers,
Matt.
 
I sent Qantas some feedback to say the bonus status credits are of zero value unless I have the option of getting them in the next membership year. Let’s see if I get a reply.
Yep, as I have already achieved status for next membership year and my year ends soon, this "gift" has ABSOLUTELY NIL VALUE to me. I'm just shaking my head at how INCREDIBLY stupid Qantas continues to be. If the recipient of this non gift has already achieved status then this worthless gift should be carried over to next member ship year. How can Qantas continue to be so moronically stupid and incompetent...oh wait, it's the illegally sacking & $90million fine company we are taking about.....

Aha! So you’re the ghost they’re trying to smoke out, LTG locked in and not a single flight in a decade. :p Is it true that people ditch QF for another airline once you had the LTG in your pocket?

LTG with not a lot of QF activity here...

80SC is totally lost on members like us, as anything below 1400 SC/year is not worth any effort.
 
Well Mrsdrron at LTG and 10 SCs in 2026 got 40SCs worth nothing and I a real bronze with only 10 SC s in 10 years but all of them in 2026 doesn’t get an email which really is as it should be.

Same here, my year ends in 30 days and I’ve attained platinum for next member year. A worthless “thank you “ from Qantas!

I've filed it with their myriad of apologies over the years….
 
At last a bonus which is really going to help me.
Currently on a trip which will get me to 135 short of platinum renewal for next year, and 148 short of LTG.
I was bummed when I heard about the DSC not contributing to LTG. Then got this bonus which will get me over the line for both.
Happy days here. 😁
 
Did anyone else just receive an email like this? Mine says:

"Thank you for your loyalty. To show our appreciation, we're giving you 150 Status Credits and 2,500 Qantas Points. These will be added to your Frequent Flyer account by 30 September 2025 and will contribute towards your annual status. There's nothing you need to do in order to receive them."
I received 40! And no Qantas points. Clearly I'm only a little valuable! :-) Still, happy for them.
