    This gave me a well needed chuckle!

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    They do send out physical cards (well did last year) as I got one which aligns to my current expiry. I did not request this

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    First time only (as far as I'm aware). Have been P1 since 2019 and received it once. Only things proactively sent have been the Xmas gifts (except for one of the COVID years) and the recent bag tag. I wonder if you get it again if you drop from P1 and then requalify a few years later...? The...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Ah. I actually haven’t opened it up to be honest. Will look later today when back home. Though seems rather hidden there. You’d have to effectively open the tag to see the name Edit: can confirm same at WP tag image. I still stand behind my comment that it’s tucked away and you’d need to open...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Interestingly these new tags have nowhere to put your name etc. so qf have clearly realised that people are just using these to identify their status and made them accordingly.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Yes, I just got home to mine. Looks quite nice. Metal tag with brown leather strap.

    How close would you have to get to consider a status run to P1?

    To answer the question of the thread title - I'd say about 10 SC's away.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Well tickle me pink. Another VIP upgrade this evening. That's 3/3 on recent domestic flights (my first domestic flights in a long while). QF clearly know I don't enjoy sitting down the back. I think I need to go and buy a lotto ticket now.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Whilst unfortunate (and I truly feel your annoyance), I am almost certain that all of us P1's have experienced this same thing. I have had absolutely outstanding service in Y on short haul domestic as well as service that left a lot to be desired in long haul F (in both cases by CSM and crew)...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I’m on a roll. Another P1 upgrade - on my MEL - SYD return. Very much appreciated

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I think if you read back through this thread you’ll find the overall experience is very hit and miss. There are some great examples of P1s being looked after and also some examples similar to yours. I have had both as I would say have most P1s. As I think I and others have said previously, P1 is...

    Received a nice little P1 upgrade on my first domestic flight in ages.

    Qantas First Class menus

    Jeez, pretty poor service and food for F. Though I've often found that from o/s ports (LHR, SIN, DFW) my F experiences are never as good as ex-SYD. Your glacial pace reminds me of my F trip to LHR last November where the only F elements were on the ground in SYD and SIN. On board, a lot was...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Not surprised. I suspect there were a lot of people that were still holding on to status through COVID extensions / status keeper initiatives with SC rollovers etc that are really only now starting to fall away. I will be one of them - my SCs reset to zero on Monday and whilst I have qualified...

    Is P1 worth a couple of hundred SCs?

    I would argue that QF sometimes treat P1s like WP (from my experience) and that I've had better experience on other airlines (EK, CX, AA) as a P1 (and WP) than on QF too. Agree with everything that RichardMEL has said and it's not worth going for. Even the VIP Team are limited in what they can...

    Qantas First Class menus

    Yes agreed about failings in the past. The best I have done in the was to have the meal out of Syd going to DFW 'delayed' (as I had stuffed myself in the lounge) by asking to have my meal served at as the last pax in F (was in 1A). Given the glacial pace of QF service this was sufficient. Re...

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    I feel like in years gone by there was much more variety across the seasons whereas now it's pretty much the same menu year round with some minor tweaks.

    Qantas A220 seating charge - is this a scam?

    Disagree. Not wanting to speak on PF's behalf, I would assume she is referring to something like Row 4 on the 737 (similar to row 11 on A380). They do have extra legroom and are only able to be selected until T-80 by P1's (FOC). If this was removed and opened up to the public for a fee, then...

    Qantas A220 seating charge - is this a scam?

    If that is the case then that's further devaluation of P1 as I can just be a non status pax and purchase the seat. A few $30 'upgrades' throughout the year is a lot less than flying to attain P1!

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Why? NP was brought into the QF fold when James Strong was CEO, you then had Geoff Dixon prior to AJ so is now onto his fourth CEO whilst working with QF. Doesn't seem that a change in CEO changes his influence...
