Email offer to retain Gold Status

[gls]

My status year ends this month and i'll come up short for retaining Gold status (which i've had for a few years), which isn't a big deal as the benefits aren't huge. I have an Amex Centurion so get QF Club as part the of card benefits. My QF flying is mainly international business but only to destinations that aren't served by SIA or are just more convenient with QF (eg USA).
Anyway recieved an email from QF this morning offering an "exclusive" deal to retain gold status. I haven't called yet but was curious if anyone had any ideas on what it is?

Will update once I've chatted with them later this week

Thread 'Pay Points to Extend Qantas Status'

Sep 13, 2018

Looks like I'm going to fall around 280 credits short of retaining Platinum this year and will drop back to (lifetime) Gold for the first time in 10 years. Qantas rang today to offer me 12 more months Platinum for 120,000 points (just over 50% of my current balance) and I declined as I won't be flying as much as I used to over the next 12 months.

Has anyone had a better offer than 120k points? I've probably got 12-15 domestic return trips ahead of me over the next 12 months (80% of them in the next 3 months) and I just don't think it's worth it.

Glad you got the offer! I won't when my SG expires.

Exclusive. That sounds rather intriguing.

If you have a large points balance and can easily replace those points and will do a lot of economy or premium economy travel on OneWorld partner flights it can be worth it for the lounge access, extra baggage etc.

Up to you if it is worth it.
