Case Study: How Matt Retained Qantas Platinum in 2025

Thanks , Do you think QFF took into account when you go the soft drop the likelihood you would make it back to Plat status in the next year - ? because of already booked flights .
Or is it pretty standard to go back to Gold?

It's standard, I believe. I didn't have much of my new travel booked when I dropped.
Yes - it's just their standard. QFF soft-lands you through the status levels, regardless of what you have flown in the period. If a P1 stopped flying before retaining and never made another SC, they would drop to WP for a year, then SG for a year, then PS for a year, before settling at NB.

Indeed - they hope you'll "snap out of it"!
