I got the email and have not been to Perth for almost exactly 12 months.

Unless it is because I live in Sydney.

Some people have no visited PER for more than that and still got an email.

I'm willing to be it includes booked travel as well as past travel.

I tend to go to PER 3-5 times a year, and my past travel will quite clearly show that I usually go that often.

I also have 2 forward bookings to PER before the end of the year, as well as a few to SYD and BNE.

I'd say regular travel to PER or at very least booked travel in the past/future 12 months would be the basic criteria.

Yep, I'm sure they looked at multiple factors. I was just suggesting that travel to SYD and the future roll out to SYD wasn't probably not a factor, as I'm borderline eligible, with 1 PER flight in the last 12 months, based on others' experiences. If SYD travel counted I thought that should push me over the line. But no email for me. (meh, btw)

Perhaps they used the same formula as they did for deciding the bonus SC promotion?
 
I travel to PER once or twice a month and also received the email and assumed I was selected due to this regular pattern - although from reading the previous posts, it seems not ;)

Next PER trip is next week and then back again the W/B 9th August.

Let's see if the card arrives in time for either of the above two trips :lol:

Indeed not, their subscriptions probably pay for my free beer and nibbles. Not sure what other value they are to QF though....

Oh, that's asking for trouble right there.

I could get so ranty right now, but lacking hard facts and figures necessary to tear this argument to shreds (Like no. of QPNB & QPPS, annual revenue derived from them both flight and ancillary, intangible asset contribution through customer loyalty and word of mouth) I'll stop myself.

The value is that they put minimal demand on the lounge. Hence qantas collecting money but not having high operating costs for the lounge due to paid members.

In anycase qantas is a fairly savvy business I'm sure they have worked out the bit of profit from the paid flights of a gold FF that pays for the lounge membership and set the paid QC membership fee accordingly. So that in fact it is the flights you take that pay for your nibbles and beer. :p
 
Was in SYD T3 this morning.

I normally go through the single security check next to the top of the escalator at the western end of the departures area, but today I wandered up to the main security area.

I presume all the construction going on there is related to this?
 
As I fly out of PER this Saturday I am hoping that my new card arrives in time for mrs ejb to express it to me and for me to use it Saturday.:)

I really like the idea of the Q card as a BP. Saves a little paper and the environment and is less likely to get folded/lost.

I'm guessing so, with the signs saying 'how would you like to just fly?' and 'coming spring 2010'. Funny thing is that as I was wandering through T3 this morning having got off a flight I was thinking about how exciting it would be and what it might all look like. I thought I saw like a door frame or elevator frame thing, above the barrier about under the J lounge escalator area.

Hmm, I hope they remember which jacket is mine without a boarding pass...
