I have to agree. This is a huge target to reach and makes it extremely difficult with the 125k cap per transaction.A million points of 'activity' would be easy for some, but even with a high earning CC, the 800k point total seems very pie in the sky. While I can imagine some might get there, I imagine they're already paying for F and don't need F lounge passes, or a status credit rollover. Additionally, things like a $250 wine/hotel voucher seem woefully inadequate to that crowd.
Very interesting! No way I'd get near that - It would be difficult without putting business spend of some sort through a personal card, which would probably come under more of an eagle eye.New 3rd Points Club tier in the pipeline:

I'm sure the source was the same, but this was being discussed on AFF last nightNew 3rd Points Club tier in the pipeline:

I’ll struggle to retain Points Club+ this membership year as it is as there is no flying to pay for. All next year’s tours are paid up as they were moved from this year, and it’s too early to book and pay for associated flights. So I received no benefit from my first year in. No way could I reach a higher level as an individual. It seems to be marketed more to big business owners, or perhaps execs who pay themselves and claim back.New 3rd Points Club tier in the pipeline:

Level above Qantas Points Club Plus
I just saw some information on Facebook that Qantas is considering another level above Qantas Points Club Plus - qualification possibly 800k points per membership year. Benefits they are tossing up include - 200 status credit rollover, first class lounge access passes, Qantas holiday vouchers etcwww.australianfrequentflyer.com.au
Whomever wins the 1m QFF points lottery will get themselves in!!
Good to know. I received the survey, but haven't bothered to do it as yet.I also got a Points Club survey, but as I'm only a regular "Points Club" member my questions were different. They wanted to know which benefits I valued, and what it would take to convince me to go for Points Club Plus. They also asked if there are any benefits I thought they should add to the program.

The discount on wine is something I value. I have deliberately sought to achieve point club plus membership earlier than I may have gotten to that point to secure this benefit.Points Club Plus member here. The current program benefits are a huge let down. I don’t see why anyone would chase a higher level for more benefits they probably already have.
They need to offer more status credits.
