The P1 Challenge

[JRR]

fellow P1s

Check your “Platinum One Briefing” and cut/paste your version of the following:

“Congratulations!
You’re in our top 30% of Platinum One flyers based on the kms you’ve travelled in the past”

Prize awarded for those with the top and bottom %!

 

[La Mouette]

10%, although as I've said previously somewhere, I'm not sure you would you have a life to celebrate if you reached the 800k top of the dial.

That can't be fun surely .... even in J ??

Obviously someone in the P1 team saw the VFF 'top percentage' emails sent out a few months ago and thought they would 'borrow' the idea...

 

[RichardMEL]

I got nada, but I only have 66k flown km's to them so... *shrug*

I may qualify for the "bottom" % though

 

[Hawkeye]

3 times round the world for me, which is about usual.

I've never really thought about this before, but my P1 status comes courtesy of 4-5 F returns / AONE's per year, so high status credit yield for (proportionately) a very small number of long-haul flights.

 

[Kiwi_Flyer]

Mine isn't accurate (significantly understated) even considering only QF flights.

I guess it's about six flights to LHR and back. I'm not the most creative flyer!

How they measure it, though, is a mystery to me. I fly generally the same schedule. But in the last newsletter, it was lower kms and top 30%, saying I'd decreased my flying by 15%. Is it paid flights, all flights, who knows?

It obviously excludes non-QF travel, so the juddles of the world are the real travel warriors.

 

[Brettmcg]

I've racked up a lowly 105,000km - in terms of spend though

 

[RichardMEL]

I do wonder how they count the km's flown.. QF metal? paid? codeshares? award? all of them?

Anyway they obviously can't know about non QF credited flying habits.

 

[Princess Fiona]

150K for me and no percentage mentioned

According to QF 125K, percentage not mentioned.

For the 12 month period Apr 17 - Mar 18 according to the AFF flight tracker, imported from Tripit.

• QFF 90K miles or approx 144K km. Some of these were award flights, maybe awards are not in the count
• Add in QF codeshare with EK 134K miles or approx 215K km. Maybe code shares are not in the count.
• Add in everything else 214K miles or approx 344K km. The ones they cannot track.

I have no idea how QF does the calculation

 

[RichardMEL]

Possibly only QF metal earning (paid for) flights? hmmm

explains a bit

 

[juddles]

I think I will be with RichardMel in the bottom %

According to the letter, I have flown 200,000 km in the last year. I resent that. It is a huge assumption on the part of QF that I only fly with them. Why don't they say "flown with Qantas". In a previous thread I shared how they calculate all this - can't be bothered to this second.

In reality, Qantas is my third most frequent airline. This sort of untidy, ill-thought, amateur approach to conversing with P1's, is, in my opinion, detrimental to the whole "feel" of the program.

I reckon that's it.
164K here which tallies after subtracting QF awards and EK/OW partner flights (paid or otherwise).

According to the letter, I have flown 200,000 km in the last year.

I am also in the race to the bottom of P1 stats with QF calculations, QF tell me I did 125K, EF says 344K. I posted somewhere else on AFF that I am travelling more with SQ and VA. I just did not realise how many more when you put it in miles.

 

[danielt25]

102k

Basically BNE<->CNS. Paid J

Going to go back to VA once I requalify for P1
