Thank you for your loyalty

Points Bal > 0?

Edit: but not from Family Transfer…

What if you used exactly all your points last week, and have a 0 balance?

I think QF would already have the script to identify activity in the last 18 months as that's what they use to make the points expire.

Don't you think it's a pretty big coincidence that 18 months was chosen?

Agreed, and I’m assuming they’re looking at earn/burn up to the beginning of SEP, with the SEP 30 timeline affording buffer for delayed points accrual from partners.

Not sure if this was mentioned above.
I am pretty sure the bronze windows for the sc is set to 2 sept to 30 sept, instead of 2 sept-8 sept, because there is a requirement for the member to be active in the last 18 months. They (IT experience boy) probably never had this request before and must have negociated a wider window to make sure they can build the script.
Other members (silver, gold and above, as well as Points club and above) by designed must have had this activity in the last 18 months, but bronze... not necesserly.

My 2 cents.

...or there's just a lot of Bronze members compared to the other levels.

That was the point of my earlier post - partly in jest - but, yep same criteria for wiping points would apply.

With regard to the one of gift of SC's, Qantas understands that some members will benefit more than others from this gift. However, it makes no mention of those members which will get no benefit whatsoever from this as they will have retained or have bookings in advance to retain their status prior to receiving the SC's. Anyone whose membership year renews at the end of August will get a great kickstart to their cause for retaining status the following year.......what about those members with renewal dates in the immediate following months, and i am suspecting there would be thousands, that would have achieved their goal already?? Surely for those people, myself included, should get some benefit out of this gift by having these SC's at least count towards their lifetime status so they get some benefit rather than nothing at all which is grossly unfair. Qantas has been very good in the past at segregating its loyal members by putting conditions on redemptions, promotions and gifts like this so as to make them totally worthless to some members which no doubt, leaves a foul taste in affected members mouths for being nothing more than loyal to an airline!

In my case, having already made bookings in advance to retain my status with Qantas and partner airlines, i shall receive 150 SC's some time in September, only to lose them entirely in November! Thankyou again Qantas for recognising my loyalty and teasing me with a rotting carrot! Don't bother depositing my gift at all unless it will count for something!!

Very similar. My membership year ends this month! I will barely have them before they disappear. And for the first - and probably only time - will reach gold this month. I had to book a couple of business class to do this as I was closer than have ever been. And only on a part pension now but it would have at least helped towards lifetime silver - if only could be credited after Oct 1!

I’m 48 hours away from moving from silver to platinum. Hoping Qantas holds off on crediting my bonus so I can get 150SCs

(Qantas’ website states “If you achieve a higher Frequent Flyer status between 28 August 2025, and the date the gifted Status Credits appear in your account, you will receive the amount corresponding to the new, higher status. ”)

Loyalty SC & PC Bonus Points received overnight.

Did the loyalty SC count towards lifetime status as suggested that may happen in the other thread (despite QF saying it won't on the webpage)?

Sorry @Chrizztofa, I don’t pay attention to LTS as I’m not in that ball park.

No worries at all. Just curious more than anything else whether QF backtracked on this as well.

No, I don’t believe it did. I’m between LTG & LTP (a long way off), but don’t notice any change after my 150 SCs were added

I’ve taken a screen shot of “Before” - still waiting for SCs and Points to check “After”.

 

[ChrisMars]

Got my 150SC appearing in the activity statement history, it hasnt count yet to my yearly status, multiple refresh, tried mobile app and web app, been 10 minutes. Obviously no movement in lifetime neither. Need to wait until someone restart the service doing the maths.

 

[DejaBrew]

Got my 150SC and 5000 FF points today. I note on my activity statement that it flags the loyalty bonus as being applied today, but with an "activity date" (for want of a better way to phrase it) of Sep 1st.

 

[nancypants]

Mine arrived and sitting there not counting to lifetime, gone in a few days. An anti-loyalty gift

Mine just posted. No change to SCs needed for LTP*…, nor LB attainment but 2500 more points towards retaining PC.

*there is some jiggery-pokery in the numbers for ”Already earned”, “Earned this year” to cancel out the gift SCs.

[justinbrett]

I've just worked out my PC 2500 points, while showing in my activity statement, haven't been added to my points balance.

I have an email with QF with my points balance for a Fathers Day promo, and I can confirm that it's not possible for my QF points balance to be correct. Checked both app and desktop website.

I know what it is, you were wanting a better way to phrase it...
