I certainly like the F experience but I spend most of my points on family travel which doesn't leave many for upgrading myself. I think two of the upgrades had the Platinum One message and the other was a straightforward oversold op-up

It was a revenue ticket in J, no points upgrade request - new boarding pass issued at the lounge in Dallas (with an "enjoy your flight" message from the Platinum One team. Just checking my activity statement and that's the third op-up in the last 12 months on that route (out of 8 SYD - DFW or...

Ok Qantas - it's a deal. You can carry on sending me bland corporate emails as long as the op-ups keep coming. J to F on QF8 yesterday - thanks very much Platinum One team

Just received my "Don't miss out on Platinum One" email - highlighting that my renewal date is in 4 months time and I haven't yet requalified. Some might see this as a kindly reminder from the Qantas Loyalty team who are looking after my interests in case I've forgotten. However - given that my...

Re: How many Qantas points did you earn in 2015? 620k 500k from flying, 120k from credit card spend.

My total SC count has been pretty constant for the last two membership years - around 5400. Last year I didn't get anything at Christmas, this year I got the Krug. I suspect that the change is because I've earnt more SCs that have a ~ and hence have increased my value to QF - which kind of makes...

Mine said "As one of our long standing Platinum One members, since its launch in 2011,........". Didn't really think about the wording (was too busy goggling at the wine).

.....and a bottle of Krug for me too - thanks Qantas, great Xmas present.

As do I (although fading)!

I know, I shouldn't complain really - I've had a couple of J to F op-ups on SYD - DFW this year (plus the CSM gave me a bottle of Diana Madelaine after seeing how much I was enjoying it) :)

Yeah - not that I've ever had much success with that strategy!

Agreed - but it might make me feel better. That or I'll just have to go down to my local supermarket, throw myself on the ground and have the sort of tantrum I used to when I was two.

Sounds like I've been going about this the wrong way - I'll try dropping my spend with QF and see if that makes a difference :)

What's the SC earn of the P1's who are getting Christmas presents? I've been P1 since it started and vaguely remember getting some wine the first year, certainly nothing this year or last. My last full membership year I racked up about 5400 SC, whilst this calendar year I'm at about 5000...

JohnK - I'm not sure if this correlates. I've been P1 since it started but noticed a drop in my op-up rate around the same time. I put this down to the changes that were made around points upgrades to allow them to be processed later (or something like that - I remember that there was a change...

As another data point I saw the iPad on QF7 recently - Interesting to me that there were no VIPs, no CLs and 12 P1. Didn't see the nimber of WP but I was surprised by the number of P1 on the flight (not sure why I was surprised - no science behind it).

You should be pleased - I think I've just demonstrated that there's a tier lower than you! Although how that makes me feel.....

...and those of us in the bottom tier of P1 got nothing (oh woe is me ;) )

Also remember that you'll earn fewer points on an EK flight number (to rub salt into the wound of no SCs)

Hi all, I'm looking at booking some flights for my son and his girlfriend to visit us in Perth over Christmas/new year. They're very restricted on the dates they can fly - basically out on the 18th Dec, back on the 3rd Jan. As you'd expect over Christmas the flights (in Y) are looking fairly...
