I pay for mine if I need to, using savings generated by either using points or flying with other airlines that regularly offer comparable services and flights for a lot less $$$. Frequently they offer such niceties gratis anyway. I am not and never will be tied to Qantas just to build up SC's...

That's because I keep getting prompted every time one of you guys, with little else to do with your time other than fascinate over SC's and whether you can get into a lounge or not, keep making comments on my earlier posts. I find it amusing and a bit sad too! 1723526532 Di you live on this...

Crikey - isn't flying complicated enough!

Well said Richard. As for me I have been chastised here for being 'off topic' with some posts deleted and others moved - so I'm moving on too! All the best to you and others in your various quests

No doubt you also read "whatever floats your boat"

Recently booked to Bali return myself using classic rewards and was miffed to find that seat selection was no longer included. It was no problem to select on Jetstar - but they can jam that. T'was the last straw - divorce from QFF almost complete now

I did notice something about that but took little notice - if i'm asked to guess it may have been 5,000 points but not really sure

Thanks for the heads up. I recently joined and just managed to buy a swag of points courtesy of a very generous bonus offer that I read about [i think on this website?] Cheaper and more flexible than trying to think at the last minute about where and when to fly

On topic - goodness me! Do we need to take things so seriously? Well, if you like listening [reading] to all that chestbeating - what can i say?? So far i haven't found those other threads - possibly [probably] because I haven't looked - not spending as much tome on here as some judging by...

Oh please!!!! Live to serve? I'm here to be served when I fly - but I certainly go above & beyond for my own clientele

Well Richard, I don't share your sympathies - I'm beginning to think that you're qantas' CFO and I'm no longer as rich in points as I once was. Also, I concede to your contention that I have been playing the game - just a bit differently to many people on here. Certainly not as seriously as...

Agreed! So imagine how one who had amassed a lot of points but who no longer qualifies for gold feels when trying to book a classic reward, after everyone else has been given first crack? Of course, what else has not been highlighted is that the allocation of classic reward seats has not kept...

possibly so Lynda, but it wasn't always that way. When you make a change, those adversely affected have a right to complain when prior benefits are not recognised which is just one of the reasons I came on here. Qantas are price gougers, much worse than Woolies or Coles ever were. Qantas...

Thank you - I couldn't have said it better myself - "Hampster Wheel" - which is what I [foolishly] tried to warn people about in an earlier post. And whilst I am totally pee'd off with Qantas and now in recent days have re-focused on some other FF memberships I am thankful, to an extent, that I...

Thank you for bringin that to my attention, and whilst I don't earn or burn as many points these days as I once did, I do earn enough for me to be a points club member and yes, you are right. On checking a trip to Fiji I did in fact receive 7 SC's each way - Hallalooya! As intimated...

OMG! Haven't you got something better to occupy yourself Richard? Are you the self appointed thread police? It was words in the title about LTG being the "Holy Grail". They made me chuckle and raised my curiosity. The more I read the more amused I became. It became evident that there was a...

Thank you again! Wonderful - just confirmed my thinking! I now understand what WP means as per that list of abbreviations and it appears that I may have encountered some already - even WPx2

Well put a feather in your hat - you've received a "like" from a self confessed IT Nerd.. So, it's not just a game but also a 'niche hobby' .....Whatever floats your boat. 1722854211 Thank you - being a newbie still I had not noticed it

All this jargon - what please does WP mean??

Hmmm? Playing the game? Yes, agreed to an extent but with reservations learned over time. Let's continue with the sporting metaphor. Please bear in mind it was over 30 years ago that I joined QFF - so whilst I may be new here I have been in the game if you like for a while, but not all consumed...
