I heard my Manager complaining about the changes when he came in this morning, he is by no means an AFFer, status chaser,etc. just a normal person with a QFF account.
However he does a couple of QF domestic Economy flights a month through work bookings, which doesn't earn enough to keep gold but he supplements the remaining SC's by a yearly O/S trip, and a few domestic leisure flights.
He is now saying "why would I fly QF now for my personal travel/holidays? only reason I fly with them is because I can access a lounge and get priority check-in, I am not willing to spend extra $, fly unnecessary flights to maintain it. I'll just choose whichever airline is cheaper from now on" were his exact words.
If normal non-AFFer type people (not that we are not normal don't like/understand these changes then what chance do QF have of these changes being successful/profitable????
. Do they think we are all stupid???

Earning Points Calculator for travel up to 30 June 2014
Route: MEL - LHR
Points Earned for Travel Status Platinum Qantas points 18600 Status bonus awarded for your Chairmans Lounge membership 12400 Points that can be earned for this journey 31000 Status credits that can be earned 280
So looks like I am getting a CL pack soon PMSL what the hell is going on cant even release a simple Calculator and get it right
Also no option now to go say MEL-DXB-LHR
It only gives point to point results.
Come on Qantas this is so so so amateurish that it cant be real surely...
What happened to testing things Grrrrrrrrr
The pilots?
Just had a good look at the new partner points and SC earning table. Not happy at all and this will really make me re-evaluate my loyalty to QF. My J booking to LHR in October was meant to earn me 560SCs but it will now only earn me 280! That is a major devaluation. Time to start crediting to another programme.
If you have already made the booking then no change to SCs earn.
The Pilots in Cathay are as good. Aussies, Kiwis and poms.
AFF Supporters can remove this and all advertisements
The calculator gives you the correct status bonus, it's just the status level wording that is wrong.
And also on news.com.au
I agree it is correct based on the tables however my main point is around all the errors with these changes such as the wording I mean how difficult can that be surely all it would use is a form of a look up table based on actual status. It shows that once again the problem and IT has not been checked reviewed and properly tested before release..
Oh now lets look at Premium economy. Are Qantas going back to flying via Asia or are they just taking the piss with this one

I would agree with you, the broken links on QF.com some 14 hours after the change are very amateurish.
