Double SC offers? oh,, I aint got a 1 yet

[JohnM]

I wonder whether people who may be getting close to a new level or have shown a marked uptick in flight activity are targetted in order to tempt them.

After all, as we all know, once a new status level is reached it's hard to drop back and I think most do what we can to at least stay at the highest level we've reached.

I've been very comfortably WP for years - although Additional Privileges is now looking out of reach with the 'enhancement' from 2100 to 2400 SC; a bridge just too far...:evil:.

I figure that because I readily re-qualify WP I have not been tempted with DSC offers. The only DSC offer I did get to celebrate the A380 HKG inauguration may have been directed slightly differently.

But this is all surmised.

11 segments in 2 months so far,, my status is being earned sitting on a plane,, my original question was to those who, like me, have never seen a double sc offer,, and to see if maybe there is some common denominator as to how qf decide on who gets them

Me too. So far this year i've flown 61 segments, with around 140,000 miles over those segments. I have another 15 flights booked before the end of the year which will be around another 45000 miles (and more will happen that are not booked yet). This has re-qualified me for two top tiers (VA and QF). I got the double SC offer with QF which helped me keep my WP quicker, but I would have gotten it anyway. The double SC offer for me is actually great, as it allows me to swing my travel elsewhere now, rather than to QF. I'm not going to lose WP in the next few years that I can see, so it's of no detriment to QF lounge wise for me (although it is to their bottom line, as now I put other travel to VA to start my 2013-14 re-qual with VA post August this year, or keep my *G with other carriers).

On the flip side for me it has guaranteed my flights on QF as it pushed me initially closer to PG and now P1...

Was happy to get it last year.

No such luck this year, but not overly bothered

As a SFSC, I don't do enough flights on QF metal to get near WP1 so that's unachievable, no matter how many DSC offers I get.

I see WP1 as only feasible (and worthwhile) for people still working and travelling very frequently.

The PG benefit, on the other hand, was very useful in keeping PartnerJohnM happy - and the reason why I leapt at the DSC HKG offer .

One decent DSC offer a year could help me keep PartnerJohnM in the manner to which she has become accustomed, so here's hoping .
