Changes to Status Bonus (Affects BA flights mostly)

[kevrosmith]

A few changes to QFF T&Cs around the Status Bonus...



The last copy that I have is from November 2011... anyone got a later copy of the T&Cs...?


Seems they are mostly tidying up the wording, though Silver and Gold seem to get less on BA flights.

This is what it always was, then they upped the bonus on QF group I thought?

The copy I have from November 2011 is the one showing the "upped" rates... where it says "flights pre/post May 2011", but it looks like they were not restricted to any airline in particular. What I'm interested in knowing is whether there was a change (as you suggest) between my copy in November 2011 and the copy I took today.

Maybe people claimed status bonus for flights with other airlines and this is an update to close the loophole.

There is one change in the above new terms and conditions...

For travel on eligible American Airlines flights the Status bonus for Silver Members will be 25% of the Base Rate, 75% for Gold Members and 100% for Platinum Members. Status bonuses do not apply to Qantas & Partner Classic Awards.

The bonus for gold members used to be 50%.

The AA earn page has also been updated: http://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/dyn/partners/airline/american-airlines

That's interesting, the gap from Silver to Gold is a big one, seems to fit.
