I'm feeling a bit sad ...[My SC's are getting wiped today... =( ]

Oh, I've felt so good looking at these, the last few months. But, alas, soon my all time high of 2125 SC will be wiped. :(

Won't get near that this year, might scrap enough to renew WP. Have 2 O/S sojourns planned this year which should get me to around the 1000 mark, just need another (or a double SC offer, ... are you listening QF?) to get me back there.Hoping work may come to the party with a junket or 2.
 
I am not as sad as I might have been. While my SCs were reset to 0 overnight, my status still shows Gold even though I fell short of the required earn, and the login message clearly says I have to earn 600SCs to hold it next year - so looks like they may have comped me. On the other hand, the list of forward bookings is total skew-wiff, so maybe I should wait and see.

Edit: Booking list has returned to normal but still showing Gold with 600 to earn, so looks like a big thank you to QF.
 
You will need a few more days or so before you could assume that. They allow a little time for credits from flights on partner airlines to come in before dropping you back from Gold to Silver if you fell short.

Edit: if you get comped they would send you a letter saying so accompanied with your new card. They typically send these out even before the year ends so sometimes you may get a letter but actually qualify after that with flights just before the year ends so it turns out not to be a comp after all.

Were you close to the 600 SCs and was your 3 year average good?

Makes sense, and yes I made my average which apart from 1 recent year is usually just below the level required. So I wont jump the gun until a new card turns up, or if not comped 2 cards (QFF and QP for 9-10mths). In reality I have only used the SG card once last year, as all other flights in J (generally Award or Pts upgrades on domestic, cash on Int).

I was hoping the same when my year reset on Jan 1, as it was showing the same as you - still gold and 600 to keep. Alas, about the 4th of 5th of the month it reverted to Silver and my downgraded card arrived in the mail last week :'(

Yep, look up thread to posts dates around the 4th - 6th of each month as this thread grows.

Just to confirm everyone's suspicion, the drop back the PS occurred today. Have to wait now for re-issue of the balance of QP membership card that should run until the end of the year.

Now that I am nearly retired, and rarely flying QF internationally, the prospects for getting back to higher status levels has pretty much faded. Oddly, it seems to matter little as I use U class most of the time to keep us in the J lounges.

I've been caught with the hope of a comp before as well, hit hard dropping to PS but had a QC membership bought 8 years earlier that kicked in.

Only 625 SCs from LTG which means I'll be happy even when flights drop to virtually nothing. Enjoying WP right now but that will be a one and done thing I expect.
 
Tonight 1630 SC's will be wiped away, my lowest loss in 4-5 years - the flip side is that I am getting closer to LTG

Unless my work picks up I can't see myself making 1200 SC's this year, hopefully my three year average will get me over the line and tide me over until the following year.
