When do Silver or Gold QFF cards arrive?

[straitman]

Silver reprint took about 5 days (magnetic Strip Stuffed)
Gold Qualified 3/6 Posted 6/6 Card Received 17/6
Plat Qual 10/6 Posted 15/6 Card Received 29/6

That is a long time between posting and receipt. :?: :?: :?:

I think mikew is using "Posted" to mean the new status was updated on his profile and he received the kits within 11 days and 14 days respectively.

Thanks JohnK. I didn't think of it in that way at all.

Well QF must think mrsdrron is worth looking after-I guess they knew she was in Aadvantage and does frequent DONE4s.
Qualifying sector finished 1800 26/7.
Gold status on her summary 0800 28/7
Gold card etc picked up 0800 2/7.
Doesnt get a silver one though:shock:

No need. They know you've renewed for the year, but won't process it until about 1 month (or maybe it's 2!) before your expiry. Then you'll get the nice renewal pack in the mail.

Rang Qantas today to book my Asia Circle fare for next year and asked about the new SG card. The lady I spoke to confirmed that on the month prior to your renewal date cards are sent out.

Thats concurs with experience expressed on this and other similar threads.

Interestingly, despite the promptness of the SG card arriving and the lack of PS card, it looks like Mrs Djf's WP kit won't be arriving until at least the third week - in keeping with straitman's experience.

Wonder why WP seems to take longer? Maybe they're busy printing out all the renewal cards on the new unembossed stock?

Had a friend who qualified for SG, and it's been 16 business days still no sign of it. QF re-sent it, and said if you get two, then just keep one as a spare :shock:

I think they are just taking forever for everything. Maybe they bulk it up and post, to try and get a discount from AUS POST? :shock:

Like munitalP, my Renewal WP 'pack' arrived last week (Thursday). Normal stuff, 8 weeks before my current card expires.

Acheived WP status on Monday 19 October, I received my WP pack today. Tuesday 27 October.

They're pretty prompt really

This is the case when you initially Qualify. If you re-qualify you generally need to wait until around 8 weeks before the end of your "Year".

Got my renewed card today, expiry 31-Oct-10

Anyway have noticed that it is no longer embossed.. now it also has a barcode on the back. Looks very cheap and nasty :evil:

Any more news on paperless boarding?

 

[jas]

Back towards the topic... Silver earned 23/10/09 D)... Pack recieved 2/11/09 (letter dated 28/10/09).

And off topic again, now that I've got PS and 2 bag tags, what are my chances of getting another couple of tags free if I call the lovely people at the call centre?

I got my pack a little over 2 weeks after I achieved SG.
