Double Status Credits 2011

[Smackbum]

I'm willing to be a test case for the selection criteria algorithm.

I was comped SG last November (only by 15 SC but a Comp is a Comp is a Comp) and am more than half-way to requalifying on my own merit. No email as yet.

(I notice that Red Roo is lurking so Qantas are interested in the perceived positives and negatives of these campaigns. From my point of view they should be targeted at customer 3 months out from their anniversary that look to be falling short of the mark - particularly those that have already been given the "Get out of Silver free" card and won't be so lucky twice in a row. That's what I would do.)

That makes a little sense, the 3 month mark, as my offer last year was 3 months before my year ended, though they would have seen I was easily going to make Gold *shrugs*

If Red Roo can somehow intervene, and I can now see reading, I’ll aim for Platinum (if possible) and spending more money should I be targeted in a second wave it’ll be a win for Qantas!

Where's Red Roo on this?

Double SC only means more people in the lounge :!: And then they decided to remove ATA a while back because of overcrowding in lounges :!:


[Ok and before you get the hot torches out to flame me :!: it really does mean more in the lounge because either due to the retention of elites or the qualifying of new elites through double SCs].

Yeah I am 3 months out from my anniversary and got the email today - by pure co-incidence I had to book some fairly soonish return flights down to Sydney and was keen to get the SC's but after looking at the flights I found that QF and JQ were about 30% more expensive than VA so they didn't get any of my money.

Looks like there are quite a few different threads relating to double status credits. And another one started today.

I looked around to find how many there were, and found a few pretty quickly.

Maybe I could start a new thread about the number of double status credits threads

My anniversary is the end of September and on current bookings will be 170SC short of Platinum.

Unfortunately I've already got most of my flights for the promotion period booked so it looks like I'll only benefit from an additional 40SC when I book a work trip next week for travel the week after.

That said, I am feeling the love

Quick question:

Is it double points for all bookings made within the period - or is it just one flight?

 

[eastwest101]

Good promo idea in practice - but if its sprung on its target audience at the last minute it does seem like its a bit difficult for QFFers to re-organize/rebook or alter their schedules.

 

[JetLagged]

No good.

"Sorry, but you are not eligible to take this survey."

+ 1 here!

Rather predictably, did not get the offer now just as we did not last April/May, despite getting it in December when we were never going to be able to use it due to forward bookings - QFF seems to have a tendency of targeting us during periods in which we already have travel booked, and not during periods when we have no travel booked (but may do so based on this kind of incentive). Doesn't seem to be working towards their intended objective in our case.

All flights booked and taken..

WP + PG for me, only 1 month into my FF year, 300 SC of flights in tyhe last 5 weeks, only one trip in my bookings at the moment..

I only have 1 trip in my bookings at the moment.. I was about to book a trip or 2 to Sydney, glad I waited. I might get lucky with a trip to LHR in the next couple of months. Fingers crossed its in J!

It’s double Status Credits, not Points, and it’s all flights booked and paid for in the periods given.

 

[soh]

Nothing for me either. 100SC short of Gold with renewal at the end of June 2011. Only 4 domestic flights since mid Jan and I have been holding off booking for May/June with rumours of this promo.

Any one else get one?


PS i cant see this post anywhere else, as there is no way of showing posts in date order, perhaps that could be rectified.

All bookings that meet the criteria.

1. You have registered (ie. you were one of the people sent the email)
2. Booked and paid for between 10 May to 31 July (this end date may be extended at Q's discretion)
3. YOU fly between the above dates

Regards
Daniel

You’re joking right? You’ve posted to the wrong sub-forum, so it’s understandable that you can’t see what has been a very busy thread all evening

And I was under the impression all threads/posts to threads were in date order? They’re certainly not alphabetical.

Plus you misspelt SG unless you’re a Gold Sapphire, which makes as much sense I suppose.

If Red Roo can somehow intervene, and I can now see reading, I’ll aim for Platinum (if possible) and spending more money should I be targeted in a second wave it’ll be a win for Qantas!

Indeed and I have 7 (or 9) flights to book for July when the fares are expensive.

I really do hope that I didn't cut myself out of this yesterday when I told a QF CSA that I have decided not to go for 2400SC.
