airline status

Hi there, I was wondering whether anyone knows what date Qantas consider status credits to be earned - when they are earned via a credit card promotion. Based on this example, do Qantas consider the status credits to be earned on 7 December or 10 December? Many thanks in advance.

Further to today's announcement about Qantas gifting status credits and providing StatusKeeper(TM) payments to members (see Qantas Status Credits Boost), there was also a mention of earning status credits with selected luxury hotel offers. I thought I would start a dedicated thread for...

Gidday team, The screws are tightening thanks to good ol Victoria. I need the best Western Australian, departing from PER, status run please. Chasing 65 SC, easier to do a round trip using multiple cities or stay the night. Thoughts?

Hi Sexy People I Booked my FIRST Status run (yay) at the end of July during the status run promo earlier this year, It was through Flight Centre who have now spoken with Qantas FF team about my situation. If Qantas reissue the ticket outside the "promo period" then it will be deemed a normal...

Hi Can anyone tell me, do you have to take the flight to get QF points . I have a MEL-SYD return booked with double status credits. I need the SC to make it to Gold but don't really want to fly . Do I get the points if I don't board the flight ?

https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/status-and-clubs/status/status-extension.html Interesting thing I noted this evening due to virus cutting out much travel. Can't imagine Virgin cannot do the same right now. Virgin seem totally missing in action in the past week or two, with any...

We have a number of Qantas international flights booked for August through October, all made under the recent double status credit deal. Qantas is now offering rain checks but says nothing about peripheral contractual conditions of the fares. Similarly, if it is impossible to use a rain check...

Noticed the My Bookings page on the Qantas website seems to have been updated with a (welcome) enhancement in the last few hours. Each flight now displays the amount of QFF points and Status Credits that will be earned. There is also a tally at the bottom that is based on all of your upcoming...

Well looks like my plan to keep my platinum status a sprung a leak given the latest cornavirus issues. Sydney to Japan flight all booked months in advanced now either I may need to cancel or amend the booking dates which then causes issues since I need another 2 sectors. It would be very nice...

TAP Portugal (a Star Alliance member) is offering a status match challenge to people that already have elite status with another airline outside of Star Alliance. Could be another shortcut to Star Alliance status (in addition to the existing TK and UA status matches). Oneworld Sapphire &...

Many of you would be aware that the QFF points and status credit calculator was overhauled in late January with a slew of 'enhancements' in true Qantas style. Most notably, the new calculator is slower and less intuitive than the one it replaced, and no longer offers calculation of multi-city...

SC calculator has been revamped/merged with classic award/upgrade calculators: Qantas Points Calculators | Frequent Flyer Personally I dislike it - you can no longer string multiple legs together and see a total SC count. The one positive change is the "what you need to know" section which has...

Trying to look at doing the “famous” J SYD-DPS-SYD status run (with flights from MEL as well) looking on the QF website it won’t let me arrive and depart on the same day. (Ie. only stay in DPS for 1.5hrs). how have people gotten around this?

Hi everyone, could I please get confirmation that my understanding of Qantas status renewal/ expiry is correct. Currently my status total says I need to earn xx_ more status credits to attain the next level of status Before Monday 30 November 2020. Now if I have a flight on Monday 30...

Just received this email: Guess I'll book a few flights for work after Christmas... I also have more potential flights in January but don't think I can lock any of them in until after New Years unfortunately!
