Have I just had my status comped ?

+1 to Blackcat - it certainly does count.

I would absolutely use it. You have to use it within 90 days of earning it, and in your case, the SC would be much better than the points. If you are not expecting to requalify WP next year (and the 50 SC is not enough to make a difference next year), then it would be "wasted" to defer it to next year - may as well guarantee it for this year.

It will still count to lifetime whether used this year or next. If you won't make WP next year, there is no point "keeping" it to contribute to making it to SG next year, when the alternative is to ensure WP now, then soft land to SG the year after anyway.

I agree with you regarding the wasting of the loyalty bonus for next years requal, so i have redeemed it and now have 1230 SC's. I just hope they look kindly on me for a status comp next year.

I struggle to understand the Qantas IT system sometimes

Given my recent struggles with Qantas's systems:
- Loyal Bonus System Error
- PIN reset option gone
- Unable to log-in to check-in for flight for 12 hrs, 1 week ago
- Printed BP not recognized by LHR Gates

It's Qantas IT who most struggle to understand Qantas's IT system - why can't they just leave it alone to work .. ??

No it was not in the last 12 months - it was about 3 years ago

OK. Thanks.

Not much being reported recently in the way of comps. Seems to have gone the way of paying with 100,000+/-points now.

It did seem to have gone the way of the dodo, but I suspect with QF *clearly* having demand issues they're trying everything in the book to get bums on seats....
