Earning status credits with Qantas Points Club

Yep, digital boarding pass only. Reflecting Qantas Status on it. Will report back

However, cant see the field for FF number on the boarding pass.

I have no status with AS, so it must be set up right

Update: On flight #3 for the day, which has posted SC. However, flight #1 and #2 havent yet. Quite strange

I suggest we do not disclose too many of these bank errors here openly. A few are well known, not only on the Americas…

Not sure this is a bank error?

There's no reason a QF X/U class flight shouldn't earn in line with this page, regardless of whether it's booked with points through QF, AS, or another partner.

I agree on that one - and as I posted years ago, I earned DSCs (!!!) using a CX reward booking WEL - SYD but changing it to my QFF number.

I was referring to the comments that sometimes you earn SCs on non QF metall with a reward booking when you are PC+.

Currently on a status run to use up the last of those 20k AS qantas redemptions booked during the DSC ("not possible anymore with the new award chart")

I havent had the SC for my first flight post yet. Probably panicking too early but they usually post within 30 mins of landing

False alarm.
All the SCs and DSCs landed but in bizarre order with the first 2 flights arriving the last.

Overall, almost 300 SC for 20k miles

Hi all,

I'm hoping to rack up a few status credits before my membership year ends and I have a question.

If I make a reservation with multiple sectors; do the miles travelled as per this table get calculated per sector or the distance between the origin and destination?

I'm hoping it's per sector so I can book a few one-stop flights on rewards to get me there.

Thank you!
Michael

Per sector i believe unless you have situations where the same flight number carries across to the flights. For example QF33, SYD-PER-CDG. I am not sure what happens there

Hi @aaa99, did your Points Club SC count towards your loyalty bonus?

 

[aaa99]

I am pretty sure the SC did, but not the DSC!

I am pretty sure the SC did, but not the DSC!

Correct. It's only SC from actual flying and not from any other bonuses.

Did this question ever get definitively answered? I'm wondering the same thing for a multi-leg domestic award...

It's per sector.

 

[RealtimeY]

Per sector, unless it’s a single flight number like QF1 SYD-SIN-LHR would be counted as one sector.

Thanks @sudoer and @RealtimeY! Good to get definitive confirmation

I appreciate this is a rather niche question - thanks in advance. I have a MEL-PER flight booked in business with British Airways Avios, ticketed into U class. I currently have my British Airways number in the booking, as I am OWE via BA and may need the additional luggage allowance I think I am entitled to. With that said, I recently obtained Points Club Plus Status. If I add my QFF number to this booking instead of the BAEC number, will I earn status credits for this booking as I am Points Club Plus and can therefore earn status credits on reward flights? I appreciate the system is set up to earn status credits on flights booked with QFF points (rather than Avios) but in reality does the system award SC on any flight booked into U class if someone with PCP puts their QFF number into the booking?

but in reality does the system award SC and QFF points on any flight booked into U class if someone with PCP puts their QFF number into the booking?

Status Credits (at a reduced rate), yes. But no QFF points for reward flights.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Edited my original post to take out the question about points earning as I appreciate now I had misunderstood the PC benefits

This thread is super interesting. I had previously assumed that Points Club / Points Club Plus status only entitled you to earn on award flights on Qantas metal which you had booked with your own Qantas points. Clearly it's more beneficial than that!

So am I right that, provided I have Points Club or Points Club Plus and my QFF number is entered into the booking, I'll earn SC (per the classic award SC table) on any award flight (both Classic and Classic Plus) with a QF flight number, whether it's Qantas metal or not, and even if booked with another user's QF points or via another FFP's miles?
