Double Status Credits 2013

[vertisol]

I'm 170SC short of WP (first time), DSC til end of June and membership year runs to 31 August. Contemplating a one way JASA CBR - SYD - OOL for 160SC (back in Y on a classic award) paired with a regular 40SC CBR Mel return for work in July will get me there. A little nervous though.

 

[Red Roo]

Wonder if Red Roo can throw me another DSC offer for Jul-Sep!?

Red Roo doesn't "throw" anything....let alone DSC offers.

However you may like confirm the details and options with the Frequent Flyer team on 13 12 11.

How long are double SCs taking to post after the flight? I know the T and Cs say up to 6 weeks, but just wondering what is happening in practice. Ta!

All my dble SCs for the 4 flights I took on Monday (3 days ago) have now posted . The SCs for the first 2 flights posted yesterday, and the last 2 flights posted today....400 SCs for a day's work, oops, I mean flying:mrgreen:

Now Qantas is just teasing me!!

Two days in a row they send emails telling me all about P1 and how many SCs to go!!

Tease


(Sent from seat 1F on VA - just to show that I really am playing hard-to-get!)

DBL credits for flight to HBA 8/6 posted 11/6 and back to SYD 10/6 posted on 12/6. Pretty good I thought

Hmmm... I'm 100 SCs off P1 and haven't received any emails about P1... nor have I received any DCS offers this year either

I just hit PG last week, and it's my first time ever hitting PG so maybe that has something to do with it..??

Possibly... I did the same last year (hit PG for to the first time ever) but didn't get any tease about P1 before my year ran out. (Not that I'm whining about it, just comparing).

Doing my last status run SYD/PER/SYD to be WP 1st time.

Could meet in lounge.

QF571 17.30 SYD today
QF568 00.05 PER Mon.

I'm starting to wonder who I have to offer favors to in order to get one of these damn DSC offers. Each time I miss out I double check my profile still has the offers option checked, which it does, but still no love. Mrs HarryB has had 4 in the last 2 years so I don't like her anymore!

Jumped the gun. My status dropped back and QF were kind enough to include a DSC offer in with the letter notifying the status change. Good timing really, as my renewal is May 31 so a status run early should see me through to May 2015.

just received my WP pack today. Thanks QF for the DSC offer. Good to be WP again after dropping back to PS over the last couple of years.

hmmm should I go for WP-PG? decision decisions...

I reached Partner Gold last month and do not remember any teasers for Platinum One. It doesn't matter now as SCs have been reset end of May.

Am I reading it wrong or are people actually receiving Double SC offers with their status pack? If so, I do not bother opening these packs and if I do open I just grab the card and do not bother looking at anything else.

I received the same email.
Sadly finances and the prospect of being divorced should I attempt a run for P1 prevented me from chasing that dream

I am constrained by neither of these issues........

Mrscove is at it again. Fortunately she has joined me in Melbourne for most of the weekend. Her next run will be in late June and that will be the end of DSC and she wil be Platinum with 9 months to go higher.
We tried Melba at the Langham and our friends really enjoyed the smorgasbord for the first time.
