Nothing anywhere near those Chinese purchases, but a few years ago I bought my wife's new car on Amex - about $180k. That was before the $/point ratio was downgraded to 1:1, so we ended up with enough QF points for a RTW J redemption.

Just thought I'd check back into this thread to wrap things up. My comped WP status took effect from 1 October when my membership year restarted, with my new card arriving about about a week before I was due to fly out. I returned from that trip 8 days later with 1130 SCs, so not quite the...

If they have a suitable tipple on their menu it wouldn't hurt to ask for it to be loaded on your flight, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Qantas still include Penfolds Grange in their in-flight wine guide, but despite my asking every time the First Host calls before a fight I've never been...

I'm with the OP to some extent - the new Status Credit wheel and text can be a bit confusing to know where you stand in terms of status. For example, my status always shows as "Lifetime Gold" next to the wheel, but "Platinum" at the login option at the top of the website page. Similarly...

And to make matters worse, that's a promotional image from the very first QF A380 launch when they still served decent champagne in F... :)

I'm a jeans & t-shirt flyer myself, but I'll never forget an exceptionally well dressed older gentleman back when Qantas had an F cabin on the 747. He boarded in an immaculate pin striped suit, with vintage leather hand luggage that looked like it had been in storage since purchased new in...

Sorry mate - took about 5 minutes for my inbox to be filled with PMs. The pass has been spoken for - thanks all.

As the thread title suggests, I've got an unneeded Qantas Club / International Business Lounge pass with an expiry of January 2016. Was issued to my 5yr old when she dropped back to PS this year, but she's unlikely to be flying by herself and needing lounge access... If anyone wants it, send...

Tried that - got the "privacy reasons" response despite having his FF number and PIN, and was told he'd need to chase up the SCs himself.

Technically too early for the Squid, but every time I've asked upon arrival at the lounge they've made some for me before boarding. It's my favourite brunch snack!

Funny you bring this up. I received the offer back in April as well, and I booked two separate trips under the offer, both in Business (so Y status credit earn). For flights I took on 30 April I called in early June to follow up on the credits and was told I hadn't registered for the offer...

Saw it today when browsing on my iPad. Doesn't appear when on the laptop. I'm guessing that upgrading to a paid AFF membership is the answer to removing it - something I should look into myself.

No improved/varied timings for the HKG flights so no advantage from a connection point of view, and still no sign of F returning to Qantas' Asian routes. Guess you can't please everyone. :(

Re: Business class trip - no business class seats available forone leg & Qantas L cla I think you'll find that if your waitlist doesn't clear before they start allocating points upgrades to P1 members you'll be out of luck - it seems they'll switch unsold J inventory to U before D. I've had...

Looks like I'm wrong - I would have sworn that one of the QF reps at the recent Corporate Travel Show told me the SYD-SFO flights would be operated by both A380 and 747. Having looked again on the QF website it appears that's not the case - 747 and thus 3 class only. Means I'll still be flying...

Thanks - did some more digging on EF and it appears to be from October 25th. No good for this trip but might be my new route home from the US via Asia in the future.

Do you know when these flights start? I'm flying NRT-BNE on 11 Oct and currently on QF62 as I thought the A330 Business Suites would be the best option to get back to Oz. Obviously JL F would be much better, but I can't see those fights appear on Expert Flyer.

I suspect that was added because people like myself kept asking QF to add it to our member status page. Obviously the figure has no relevance (that we know of) beyond 14000 SCs however I always wondered where I was up to in the lifetime SC count after reaching LTG and appreciate the feature...

Fingers crossed the 'Available from 10:30am' menu will be available just that little bit earlier, otherwise how can I have my Salt & Pepper Squid (still the best I've had anywhere in the world) before boarding QF11?

And all is happy in the Qantas world again this afternoon. I got a reply email from the Manager of QF Rewards & Recognition at 9:10am this morning acknowledging my email and promising an update by COB. True to his word I just had a call confirming my WP membership would be extended for...
