Anyone heard about a change in earnings rate?

I was checking my bookings to tally up SCs for the coming months and saw this notification.

Call me overly dramatic if you will but if QFF goes money based like AY, BA and IB, I will quit OneWorld

3 months' notice?

Unless I've missed something, when I looked at the tables it seemed to reference Australian domestic only and the points were increasing. Status credits stayed the same. Looked like no correspinding points earn increase for international, which to be honest is disappointing as makes it out of sync.

The changes that go into effect in July were announced back in January, and relate to an increase in the amount of Qantas points earned for QF flights.

Qantas Reveals 2025 Frequent Flyer Program Changes

Qantas Frequent Flyer will raise reward flight and upgrade costs, introduce new redemption options and increase points earn on flights in 2025. We breakdown all of the changes for you...

Then in August, the cost of most redemptions will increase across the board.

That could be coming. Apparently QF may make another announcement about further changes later this year.

With more and more airlines going with spend based status there would seem a strong chance that it could happen.

Not really Qantas’s style to follow the pack.

QFF is a huge source of income for them, it is profitable (which includes status), so not the incentive to do a BA and burn the house down, especially when they’re still trying to rebuild their reputation and retain market share from VA.

If it does happen it’s a few years away at least and will be in a unique QF way, not a carbon copy of BA or VA.

I hope you are right that it won’t happen soon, but we will see.
